ZMT4 Miniature Transmitter Bundle with Accessories

The ZMT4 Miniature Transmitter Bundle includes two NP50 batteries, dual NP50 charger, boom pole mount, and input cable.

The Zaxcom ZMT4 miniature wideband transmitter is an incredibly small, lightweight, talent friendly transmitter ideal for sound professionals. WChanges from its predecessor include 30% better power consumption, NeverClip™ in all modes, a redesigned ultra-low noise preamp, and power for all microphones, from 5V lavalier to a 48V phantom powered mic. It also features built-in backup recording with time code, full encryption, and Zaxcom High Density (ZHD) modulation, just like its larger siblings. Weighing only 2.2oz (62g), the ZMT4 is constructed from high strength, impact-resistant nylon polymer casing with rounded edges and machined metal that's cool to the touch.

Microphone Connectivity
The ZMT4 has a wide range of power to cover nearly any professional analog microphone - 5V lavalier mics as well as condenser, balanced dynamic, or ribbon microphones running at 12, 24, 36 or 48V.

Perfect for boom pole operation, the ZMT4 can be positioned at the top of a boom pole directly behind the microphone instead of near the bottom. By removing the internal or external cable, operators can eliminate cable noise that can affect the audio track. Boom microphone connectivity is via a 3-pin balanced LEMO.

Encrypted Audio
The ZMT4 transmits using 100% digital modulation allowing audio to be fully digitally encrypted to keep all audio transmission private. A digital transmission also provides audio quality superior to analog systems.

Adaptive Antenna Optimization
This feature improves radiation of the bodypack’s antenna when it’s placed in contact or near the human body. Normally, putting a bodypack on talent decreases transmission range because the body absorbs some of the signal. With adaptive antenna optimization, the external antenna is actively matched to its condition to optimize radiation and minimize distortion, keeping the signal at its best.  

Microphone Preamp
The ZMT4 features a revised preamp design. The noise content of the preamp and A-D combination now utilize NeverClip™ with both lav and balanced boom mics, making the environment and self-noise of the microphone the dominant noise components.

NeverClip™
NeverClip™ is available in all modes on the ZMT4. It works by utilizing two A-D converters to extend the dynamic range of the transmitter to 136 dB, so there’s never any limiter distortion.

Internal Recording
Audio is simultaneously transmitted and recorded to a removable microSD card using the highly reliable MARF (Mobile Audio Recording Format) which eliminates file corruption common to recordings due to a dead battery or early card removal.

ZaxNet™
ZMT4 is equipped with ZaxNet™, a long-range remote-control system allowing the user to change the frequency, pre-amp gain, sleep mode, and place the internal recorder in record, playback, and stop modes – all without ever needing to disturb talent.

PowerRoll™
To extend battery life, PowerRoll™ adjusts the ZMT4’s power level to 50mW when the audio received from it is being recorded by a ZaxNet™ compatible recorder. When the transmitter audio isn’t being recorded, the power is automatically reduced to 10mW.

Selectable Modulation
Range will always vary depending on your environment, but you’ve got choices to optimize transmission for peak performance. Zaxcom High Density modulation (ZHD) increases the number of available channels from 4 to 9 for every 1 MHz of spectrum space, perfect for reflective environments like busy city streets. XR gives you the maximum distance in less dense / more controlled spaces.

Power
The ZMT4 has up to 30% better battery life than its predecessor. A single NP-50 battery provides up to 6 hours of runtime with a lavalier running at 5v and up to 4.5 hours of runtime while using a 12-48v boom microphone.
