Product Information

Full details

The Zoom ZUM-2PMP USB Podcast Mic Pack is an ideal all-in-one bundle for podcasters, streamers, and voice-over artists who require broadcast-grade audio without the complexity of an audio interface. It provides a high-fidelity USB condenser microphone, closed-back headphones, and a tripod for immediate recording, though users should note that the super-cardioid pickup pattern requires precise positioning to avoid off-axis volume loss.

FAQs

Does this microphone require phantom power?

No, the ZUM-2 is a USB-powered condenser microphone and derives all necessary power from your computer's USB port.

Can I use this with a mobile phone or tablet?

The ZUM-2 is designed for computers (Windows/macOS). While it may work with some mobile devices using specialized adapters, it is not officially supported.

Are the headphones comfortable for long sessions?

The ZHP-2 headphones feature a closed-back design suitable for long sessions, though comfort varies based on individual head shape.

Do I need to install any software to use this pack?

No, the device is class-compliant and uses standard OS drivers for immediate plug-and-play functionality.

Can I mount the microphone on a boom arm?

The microphone comes with a tripod stand, but it features a standard threading that is compatible with most universal microphone clips and boom arms.

Troubleshooting

Microphone is not detected by the computer

Check that the USB cable is securely plugged in and try a different USB port on your computer.

Audio sounds too quiet or distant

Ensure you are speaking directly into the front of the microphone and check your computer's input gain settings in the Sound or System Preferences menu.

Excessive clicking or popping sounds

Verify that the windscreen is properly attached and increase your distance slightly if you are speaking very close to the capsule.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the system, simply attach the ZUM-2 microphone to the TPS-4 tripod, connect the USB cable to your computer's USB-A port, and select the device in your operating system's sound settings. No additional drivers are needed for Windows or macOS. For care, always store the microphone in a dust-free area when not in use. Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the mic body. Regularly inspect the USB cable for any signs of fraying. The foam windscreen can be gently washed with warm water and mild soap if it becomes dirty; ensure it is completely dry before reinstalling.
