  1. Assemble the TPS-4 Tripod Stand:

    Unfold the legs of the TPS-4 tabletop tripod stand. Ensure it is stable on a flat surface. The stand features a universal 5/8"-27 thread for microphone attachment.

  2. Attach the ZDM-1 Microphone:

    Carefully screw the ZDM-1 dynamic microphone onto the 5/8"-27 thread of the TPS-4 tripod stand. Ensure it is securely fastened but do not overtighten. The microphone includes an integrated pivot mount for angle adjustment.

  3. Install the Windscreen:

    Gently slide the custom windscreen over the head of the ZDM-1 microphone. This helps reduce plosive sounds (P, B, T, K) and breath noise during recording.

  4. Haɗa kebul na XLR:

    Connect one end of the provided 2-meter XLR cable to the XLR output port at the base of the ZDM-1 microphone. Connect the other end of the XLR cable to an audio interface, mixer, or portable recorder that provides an XLR input.

  5. Connect the ZHP-1 Headphones:

    Plug the 3.5mm (1/8-inch) stereo mini-jack of the ZHP-1 headphones into the headphone output of your audio interface, mixer, or recording device. If your device has a 6.35mm (1/4-inch) jack, use an appropriate adapter (not included).

Using the ZDM-1 Microphone

  • Wurin Makarufo: Position the ZDM-1 microphone approximately 6-12 inches (15-30 cm) from your mouth for optimal vocal capture. The supercardioid polar pattern is designed to pick up sound primarily from the front, minimizing off-axis noise. Experiment with distance to find the best sound for your voice and environment.
  • Saitin Samun Riba: Adjust the input gain on your audio interface or mixer. Start with the gain low and gradually increase it while speaking into the microphone at your normal volume. Aim for a strong signal level without clipping (distortion). Most digital audio workstations (DAWs) or interfaces have meters to help you monitor this.
  • Using the Windscreen: Keep the custom windscreen on the microphone to effectively reduce plosives and breath sounds, especially when speaking close to the microphone.

Using the ZHP-1 Headphones

  • Saƙon Sauti: The ZHP-1 headphones provide accurate and neutral sound reproduction for monitoring your recordings. Adjust the headphone volume on your audio interface or mixer to a comfortable listening level.
  • Ta'aziyya da Fit: The ZHP-1 features a self-adjusting headband and rotatable earcups for a comfortable fit during extended sessions. The closed-back design helps isolate sound, preventing leakage into your microphone.

Kulawa

  • Tsaftace Makirifo: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the body of the ZDM-1 microphone. For the grille, a soft brush can be used to remove dust. Do not use liquid cleaners directly on the microphone.
  • Tsaftace belun kunne: Wipe the earcups and headband of the ZHP-1 headphones with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid getting moisture into the speaker drivers. The leatherette earpads are replaceable if they become worn.
  • Kulawar Lantarki: The foam windscreen can be gently hand-washed with mild soap and water, then allowed to air dry completely before reattaching to the microphone.
  • Ajiya: When not in use, store the ZDM-1 Podcast Mic Pack components in a clean, dry place, away from extreme temperatures and humidity. Disconnecting cables and storing them neatly can prolong their lifespan.
