The Zoom ZPC-1 Cardioid Pencil Condenser Microphones is now available as a stereo set, featuring a pair of small-diaphragm condenser microphones. These microphones are specifically designed to capture pure and natural stereo sound, without any added flavours, whether you're using them in the studio, on stage, or in the field. With their wide frequency range of 40 Hz to 20 kHz, high sensitivity, low distortion, and cardioid pickup pattern, these microphones offer a neutral sound that is perfect for a variety of recording applications. This includes capturing pianos, drum overheads, acoustic instruments, percussion, strings, woodwinds, and ambient sounds for video. The set also includes two mic clips for mounting on stands or a stereo bar (available separately), two foam windscreens for outdoor recording, and two pouches for protecting your microphones.
