Opinion of experts

​Really impressed with this mic! We recorded some ambisonic concerts with it and it was not only easy to setup, it performed extremely well. Really excited to see where Zylia goes next! 

​Paula Fairfield, Sound Design for Game of Thrones

I love the microphone! I’ve been recording lots of HOA ambience and effects for use in my atmos projects.

​Ben Wilkins, The Academy Award in the category Best Sound for Whiplash

​​The ZYLIA ZM-1 mic has the potential to change the way people record themselves. The technological aspects of this mic are a breakthrough, and it’s stunning that Zylia has been able to bring it to market at the price point it has. ​Anyone making music today should know about this mic.
