ZP Microphones  was established in 2021 by Gregory de Mee

 

Before Zp Microphones came in existence, the founder Gregory repaired microphones and also provided  upgrades and modding for all brands from 2001 up to 2019.  Specializing in microphone capsules repair and modding microphones for better recording results. To know what was really going on in the microphone capsules and capacitors, Gregory designed his own audio path sound tester, where the source is able to present the true coloration and character of the capsules or capacitors placed in the audio path. Played back in A top of the art acoustic room with the highest standard converters and preamps to reveal the tiniest nuances. Gregory started testing all vintage & new produced microphones sound path parts and capsules from brands like Neumann, Gefell, Sony and more. Together with sourcing every rare nos and new high-end audio path components from all around the world. Creating new possible options and sound qualities by using audiophile parts that were not seen in the microphone industry before
 
With special attention for the best PIO (paper in oil) capacitors because of their impressive qualities proven in the best vintage microphones, creating A impressive stock to work with. With this extreme collection of capsules and capacitors that was categorized to display the precise and unique behavior of every part. With this insight he was able to divide the sound spectrum in 7 zones: sub -  low end - low mid - mid - upper mid-highs - top end. And to shape every spectrum zone in ways of openness, compression clarity, 3d properties, thickness, dynamics, saturation, Mojo, Equalization and coloration by choosing the appropriate components. That created the perfect Match that will bennefit engineers in the mixing mastering process.
