ZMT4-HM Miniature Plug-on Transmitter

The Zaxcom ZMT4 miniature wideband transmitters are extremely lightweight and compact, weighing in at approximately  1.5" x 2.3" x 0.5" (about the size of a Zippo lighter) and 3.1 oz. Despite their incredibly low profile, they require almost no compromises, sharing most of the features of its larger siblings, including built-in backup recording with time code, full encrytion, and Zaxcom High Density (ZHD) modulation.

The ZMT4-HM adds a convenient XLRM for plugging into a handheld mic, as well as selectable phantom power in 12, 24, 32 and 48V and a convenient XLRF connector on top. It provides 114dB dynamic range with no limiting or compression distortion and its internal battery lasts for up to 5 hours of run time in 48V depending on the microphone used.  The antenna is internal for maximum convenience on the end of a mic, but still transmits rock-solid digital audio up to 200 feet.

ZMT4s also have the capability to output audio or time code for jamming through the mic connector, an A-D converter with a 108 dB dynamic range (~5dB wider than previous models), and a removable screw on top to allow for mounting or hanging. A standard rechargable Fuji NP-50 or compatible battery (sold seperately) powers the unit.

ZHD modulation allows for up to 10 channels of wireless to be operated in one MHz of frequency spectrum space. The wireless signal is only 50 KHz wide and can be spaced as close as 100 KHz channel to channel allowing up to sixty channels of ZHD wireless in a single 6 MHz American television channel. The new modulation is ultra efficient resulting in incredible transmission range.

The ZHD transmitters are capable of running all existing mono Zaxcom modulations maintaining compatibility with all currently produced Zaxcom receivers. ZHD modulation conforms to all currently proposed FCC regulations for spectrally efficient wireless transmission.

Channel spacing varies based on the receiver you pair it with:

• With wireless receivers in Mono or XR Modes: as close as 400 KHz channel to channel
• With the QRX235, QRX200 or QRX212 in ZHD mode: as close as 200 KHz channel to channel (300 KHz recommended)
• With the upcoming QRX335, QRX300 or QRX312 in ZHD mode: as close as 100 KHz channel to channel

The ZMT4 is lightweight, water resistant, and durable, housed in a high strength, impact resistant nylon polymer casing. It's designed efficiently for an extremely low heat output.

The ZMT4s utilize Zaxcom’s battery saving feature PowerRoll™ to automatically adjusts the transmitter output power based on the record status as sent via ZaxNet boosting the output power level up while rolling and powering down while on standby.

The ZMT4s work with ZaxNet, Zaxcom’s 2.4-GHz RF network that distributes remote control commands, time code and IFB audio. With ZaxNet, you can remotely control transmitter settings such as gain, frequency channel selection, transport controls and output power levels. When paired with an IFB100/200 and Deva or Fusion, the units can also replay audio via a time code reference giving production sound mixers the ability to replay and remix audio, creating a virtual multi-track playback and re-record system.

ZMT4s send a Quality Control audio signal over ZaxNet so you can use an ERX to listen to a lavalier right on the spot without returning to the cart.
