Professional Wind Protection: Marantz ZP-1

Capture pristine audio in challenging outdoor environments with the Marantz Professional ZP-1 . Designed for filmmakers, documentarians, and field recordists, this professional-grade blimp-style windscreen and shock mount system provides the ultimate defense against wind noise, vibration, and handling noise. Whether you are shooting on a windy beach, a busy city street, or a quiet forest, the ZP-1 ensures that the only thing your audience hears is the clear, focused sound of your subject.

The ZP-1 features a highly durable, lightweight housing that completely surrounds your shotgun microphone, creating a dead-air space that effectively dissipates wind turbulence. It is paired with a sophisticated internal shock mount system that isolates the microphone from boom pole vibrations and camera handling noise. With a professional-grade “dead cat” faux fur cover included, you gain an extra layer of protection for high-wind conditions, ensuring your dialogue remains crisp and intelligible in any filming environment.

Professional Studio Features

Total Wind Isolation: Blimp-style housing creates a stable air-pocket around the mic, effectively eliminating wind noise.
Integrated Shock Mount: Advanced suspension system prevents mechanical noise, boom pole vibrations, and handling bumps from reaching the capsule.
Professional Fur Cover: Includes a high-density “dead cat” windscreen for maximum protection during extreme outdoor conditions.
Universal Compatibility: Designed to accommodate a wide variety of professional shotgun microphones.
Rugged & Lightweight: Built for the rigors of field production without adding unnecessary weight to your boom pole or camera rig.
Field-Ready Design: Easy to set up and disassemble for quick deployment during fast-paced shoots.

💡 Pro-Tip: For the best possible audio when recording outside, always ensure your microphone is centered within the blimp’s internal shock mount so it does not touch the interior walls of the housing. If the wind is particularly strong, pull the faux fur cover over the blimp and ensure it is sealed tightly at the rear to prevent “leakage” of wind noise into the capsule.
