Affordable Broadcast-quality Dynamic Mic

To keep your podcast listeners hanging on every word, you want to make sure you’re being heard loud and clear. The Zoom ZDM-1 dynamic broadcast microphone will do just that, delivering a crisp, articulate sound at an incredible price. Dynamic microphones are found in many podcast studios, and for a very good reason. Dynamic mics are remarkably forgiving and they reject unwanted noise, enabling users of all skill levels to capture great recordings with ease. The Zoom ZDM-1’s supercardioid polar pattern is extraordinarily focused, capturing only what’s placed in front of it, and its internal shockmount eliminates low-end rumble from passing cars, footsteps, and bumps that could spoil a recording. Additionally, the Zoom ZDM-1 contains a humbucking circuit that rejects buzzy electromagnetic interference, which can be hard to avoid in a home or project studio. Whether you've never used a microphone or you're a seasoned veteran, Sweetwater's microphone gurus feel confident that you and your new ZDM-1 will get good takes in no time at all!

Zoom ZDM-1 Podcast Dynamic Microphone Features:

  • Large-diaphragm dynamic mic delivers smooth vocals
  • Supercardioid polar pattern rejects off-axis noise for focused recordings
  • Internal shockmount reduces low-end rumble that can spoil a take
  • Built-in humbucker circuit prevents buzzy electromagnetic interference
  • Custom ZDM-1 windscreen fights plosives and unwanted fricatives
  • Pivoting mic stand mount makes it easy to position the mic

Great overall mic!

I picked up one of these mics at another store for regular price but should have waited to order from Sweetwater! I now have two of these mics and I can say they sound GREAT! I haven't had any problems with them plus they are good for talking to your friends gaming or interviewing guests on podcasts. Highly recommend!

Rated 5/5
I bought this on sale about a month ago and I am very happy with it. I'm running it through an old Samson mixpad - a decent mixer, but it's got some hiss - and I still get a good warm sound. The provided windscreen does help with plosives a little, but your mic technique will have to be good to avoid a bunch of editing if you don't use a pop filter. The off-axis rejection is much better than the Blue Encore 100 (though I prefer that for vocals to this). One of the best parts though is that you shouldn't need a cloudlifter for podcasting so this is plug-and-play if you've already got an interface or XLR-USB adapter. 10/10 would recommend to a friend!

amazing mic for the price

this is an amazing mic for the price. the sound is absolutely awesome, and it'll work with any mixer, such as Zooms Podtrak P4 multitrack recorder, and others. the Super cardioid pattern picks up your voice from the front, while rejecting sounds from the sides, making your voice clear as a bell. I'm happy with my purchase, and Sweetwater is my default for audio related items.
