ESSENTIAL DETAILS
ZYLIA ZM-1 Weatherproof, briefly explained
The main points before planning an outdoor recording.
What weather protection does it provide?
It is engineered to meet IP64-level resistance to dust and water spray. It is intended for demanding outdoor conditions, but it should not be treated as a submersible microphone.
What can it record?
The 19-capsule array captures a complete 360-degree sound field for third-order Ambisonics, spatial post-production, VR, film, research, live events, and environmental recording.
Does it need an audio interface or preamp?
No. ZM-1 connects directly over USB and performs its own digital conversion, so it can record with ZYLIA software or a compatible multichannel DAW.
What is included in the set?
The set includes the ZYLIA ZM-1 Weatherproof microphone, ZYLIA Studio, Studio PRO plugin Free Edition, the Ambisonics Converter application and plugin, plus a free ZM-1 Get-to-Know Session.
ZYLIA ZM-1 WEATHERPROOF
Take immersive audio outside—confidently.
Keep recording when the location and the weather become unpredictable.
