Zoom ZDM-1 Podcast Mic Pack with Headphones, Stand, Windscreen and XLR Cable

Zoom ZDM-1 Podcast Mic Pack: One Box, One Seat, Ready to Record

The Zoom ZDM-1 Podcast Mic Pack is a complete single-seat podcast bundle built around the ZDM-1 dynamic microphone. It answers the most common question a first-time podcaster asks: what else do I need to buy? The pack ships with the mic, closed-back headphones, a tabletop stand, a windscreen, and an XLR cable, so a new host opens the box and is ready to record. Nothing here is a throwaway; each piece is chosen to make the ZDM-1 sound and work its best. For the person launching a show or adding a second chair to the table, it removes the guesswork of assembling a kit piece by piece.

A Dynamic Mic That Forgives the Room

At the center of the pack is the ZDM-1, a large-diaphragm dynamic microphone with a supercardioid pattern that stays focused on the voice and deaf to the room. Dynamic capsules ignore the reflections and background hum that make untreated spaces sound amateur, and this one carries a warm, radio-ready tone. A 135 dB maximum SPL keeps it clean on a loud, close-in host, and an internal shockmount isolates the capsule from desk thumps. The included windscreen softens plosives so hard consonants do not pop the recording. It is the mic that lets a spare-room studio sound like a broadcast booth.

Monitor and Mount It Right

Good monitoring is what keeps a recording on the rails, so the pack includes ZHP-1 over-ear closed-back headphones that seal out the room and let you hear your own voice as it lands. The closed-back design also stops headphone bleed from leaking into the mic during a take. A height-adjustable tabletop tripod sets the ZDM-1 at a comfortable speaking distance and folds flat when it is time to travel. The two-meter XLR cable reaches from a desk to a recorder without strain. Together these pieces turn a bare tabletop into a working recording position.

Plugs Straight Into Your Recorder

Because the ZDM-1 is a standard XLR dynamic mic, the pack drops into any podcast recorder, audio interface, or mixer with a mic preamp. It is a natural match for a Zoom PodTrak recorder, where one pack equips one host and a second pack equips the co-host. There is no phantom power, no drivers, and no software to configure; connect the cable and start talking. That simplicity is the point of a starter kit. Everything is ready the moment the box is open.

Who the Pack Is For

This bundle is built for the first-time podcaster, the streamer setting up a voice channel, and the co-hosted show adding a matched second seat. It is the fastest way to go from nothing to a professional-sounding recording without researching mics, cables, and stands separately. Buy one for a solo show or two to outfit a two-person table with identical, consistent voices. Because the ZDM-1 handles rooms most mics cannot, it is an especially safe choice for a home setup. It is a one-purchase answer to getting a clean voice on the record.
