(LIMITED MAT BLACK EDITION)
APPLICATION - MODERN VOCALS
A NEW MODERN VOCAL STUDIO STANDARD
PIO AUDIO PATH / CUSTOM ZP CAPSULE / TAILORED OPEN 3D SOUND


The ZP8OOG requires no equalizer or de-esser or extra processing applications to cut through a modern mix.
Still remaining A very natural and smooth character.
Adding A full-body presence with focused deep lows that makes every recording sit in the mix.
The ZP8OOg shares the unique behavior with the Sony of a compressed forward sound
in the mid frequency zone. The present upper mid zone contains pleasing 2e and 3e harmonics
PLUS in contrast the top is more open and airy & more natural smooth and pleasing in this new design.
The lows are articulate and have A spacious 3d dept to them
like A good vintage Telefunken tube would create.
The ZP custom-made capsule has A unique frequency response behavior.
Reacting like A omni setting but operates in cardiode.
In this way it helps preventing the proximity effect
to overrule the lower frequencies causing muddiness,
also keeping the unwanted room sound out of the recording .
Creating high end audio quality plus timbre and extreme focus and amazing clarity.
The ZP800g is A fet driven condenser Microphone that runs on any +48v phantom
with the advantages of having: a lower noise floor, No tube maintenance costs,
No tube warm up time needed, No excessive extra cables or big power supply to carry around.
The ZP800G sounds like A new modern improved version of the well famous
Vintage Sony c800g and is no physical clone.
Only the name ZP800G is A reference to the extreme alike pristine sound
character properties it inhibits. We at the ZP microphones dared to dream bigger
and created A whole new approach on archiving the best sound quality.
Combining legendary schematic paths ideology and component choices
seen in highly praised vintage microphones.
we are taking the best of what the vintage era had to offer
and connect it with the future of today's sound.
Where low noise , easy access and compact size plays A bigger Role
for A trustworthy and clean production.

Hugh Robjohns
ZP800G MK1 test for SOS
edition OKT 2001
ZP800G delivers a very nice modern mix-ready sound
which has a slightly compressed mid range character
with plenty of energy that delivers a full-bodied quality.
This is balanced against a distinct upper-mid presence
which has been shaped to give a nice clarity
and clean diction without over-emphasizing
the sibilant region.
Above that is an open and airy top end
that brings a silky smoothness to breaths,
and the overall impression is of a larger-than life voice
with a well-focused 3D quality.
Within mixes I found the vocals needed almost
no further processing beyond some dynamic control.
Every part of the voice was present and correct
body, weight, clarity, crispness, breathy airiness,
all ideally balanced from the outset.
