Zoom ZDM-1 Podcast Mic Review / Test

Written By Bandrew Scott

Today I review the Zoom ZDM-1 Budget Podcasting Microphone. This kit has a dynamic mic, headphones, XLR cable, mic stand, and windscreen. The microphone has a clear sound with a fairly controlled low end which can get a touch wooly in the low mids if you get too close. It also suffers from plosives and shocks, but does a great job at background noise rejection. All round for $120 the mic sounds pretty great.
