Zaxcom ZMT5-HH Handheld Transmitter
A handheld transmitter, the Zaxcom ZMT5-HH works wirelessly over UHF, wired, or both at once, from a single battery.
Its balanced analog mic-level output gives a direct wired connection while the wireless signal serves as a backup, and either signal can feed another device. It suits live performance, broadcast, podcasts, gaming, and weddings.
Capsules
The ZMT5-HH takes Shure-compatible mic capsules with a 1.25 in opening and 28-thread pitch. Capsules are sold separately.
Dynamics and Mute
A dynamics system pairs a soft-knee compressor with an expander to control dynamic range and prevent clipping, with compression from mild to extreme. The mute switch can be set for push to talk, push to mute, or toggling between mute and unmute.
Recording, Timecode, and ZaxNet
The fully encrypted transmission prevents eavesdropping, and the ZMT5-HH records the same audio to an internal microSD card in Zaxcom’s MARF format. The recommended cards are 4 GB Transcend or SanDisk. Timecode arrives over ZaxNet, with Mute Till Jam and Auto Jam options.
ZaxNet is Zaxcom’s 2.4 GHz control link. From a ZRC remote or any ZaxNet device, the operator can change the frequency, output power, and input gain, start and stop the recorder, manage timecode, and format the card without touching the talent. Quality-control audio also goes out over ZaxNet, so the mic can be checked on the spot with an ERX receiver.
Design and Power
The lightweight metal body protects the XLR connector, prevents accidental button presses, and hides an internal antenna that transmits however the mic is held. One 18650 lithium battery runs it for up to 10 hours, and the display shows the remaining charge. It tunes 470 to 698 MHz.
