Find Your Stereo Sound
The Zoom ZPC-1 Matched Stereo Pair is a set of high-quality small-diaphragm pencil condenser microphones designed to capture wide, immersive stereo sound. With carefully matched microphones, cardioid pickup, a wide 40 Hz–20 kHz frequency range, and high SPL handling, the ZPC-1 is an excellent choice for drum overheads, acoustic guitar, piano, percussion, ensembles, and other stereo recording applications in the studio or on stage.
Designed for Stereo Recording
The ZPC-1 microphones are precisely matched to provide consistent performance as a stereo pair. Their cardioid polar patterns focus on sound in front of each microphone while helping reduce unwanted sound from the rear, making them well suited to a variety of stereo microphone techniques.
Capture Instruments in Detail
With a 40 Hz–20 kHz frequency range, high sensitivity, low equivalent input noise, and a 134 dB maximum SPL, the ZPC-1 captures detailed recordings across a wide range of instruments. Use the pair for drum overheads, acoustic guitar, percussion, piano, strings, ensembles, and other sources where stereo depth and accurate detail are important.
Ready for the Studio or Stage
The ZPC-1 features a solid metal body designed for dependable use in demanding recording environments. Each microphone uses an XLR-3 connector and requires +48V phantom power, making it compatible with professional mixers, audio interfaces, microphone preamps, and recording systems.
Everything You Need for Stereo Miking
The ZPC-1 comes as a complete matched pair and includes the accessories needed to get the microphones mounted and protected. Windscreens, microphone holders, screw adapters, and carrying pouches are included for convenient setup, transport, and storage.
