Frequently Asked Questions - ZP1 MARANTZ

How to insert a microphone into the ZP-1 mount?

Unscrew and remove the stop dome. Loosen the front and rear rail locking levers. Slide the suspension body out of the main housing. Place the microphone over the shock suspension bands and gently push the microphone body into the bands, ensuring it is secure. Then, insert the XLR cable into the microphone input, align the rails with the main housing and slide the suspension back into the housing. Tighten the levers and screw the stop dome back on.

How to adjust the angle of the ZP-1 handle?

Open the quick-release angle clamp on the left side of the handle, adjust the handle to the desired angle, then retighten the tension screw on the right side of the handle. Close the quick-release angle clamp to lock. To fold the handle for transport, follow the same procedure.

How to adjust the handle position along the rail?

Turn the handle locking screw several times to loosen it. Support the housing to avoid instability, then slide the handle up or down the rail to achieve the desired balance. Finally, turn the locking screw clockwise to tighten.

How to adjust the suspension attachment points for a specific microphone?

Use a screwdriver to loosen the clamp screw on the suspension clip. Hold the base of the clip and the rail while gently sliding the suspension clip to the desired location. Ensure the clip is centered and sits straight on the rail, then retighten the clamp screw.

What types of microphones are compatible with the ZP-1 mount?

The ZP-1 is compatible with most standard shotgun type microphones (XLR mount). The adjustable shock suspension bands allow adaptation to different diameters. For specific microphones, adjust the attachment points as described in the guide.

How to clean and maintain the ZP-1 mount?

Clean the mount with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive products or solvents. The shock suspension bands can be replaced if they wear out. Store the mount in a dry, dust-free place.

How to replace the shock suspension bands of the ZP-1?

Remove the microphone and cable. Loosen the rail locking levers and take out the suspension body. The shock suspension bands are threaded onto the body. Replace them with new ones (available as spare parts) following the same path. Reassemble.

Can I use a cable other than the one provided with the ZP-1?

Yes, you can use another XLR cable. Secure it in place using the cable clamp at the back of the rails, leaving enough space to connect the rear dome. Make sure the cable is secure and does not interfere with the suspension operation.

How to properly install the XLR cable in the ZP-1?

Insert the XLR cable into the microphone XLR input while aligning the rails with the main housing. Slide the suspension body back into the main housing, tighten the front and rear locking levers, then screw the stop dome back on. Secure the cable with the cable clamp at the back of the rails.

Where to find spare parts for the ZP-1?

Spare parts (shock suspension bands, synthetic fur windscreen, screws, etc.) can be ordered via Marantz support. Visit marantzpro.com/support for more information.

Adjusting the Handle

Adjust the handle angle by following the instructions below:

1. Open the quick release angle clamp on the left side of the handle, and adjust the handle to the desired angle.
2. Tighten the angle clamp tension screw on the right side of the handle to increase the tension of the quick release clamp.
3. Close the angle clamp on the left side of the handle to lock it in place.

Note: Collapse the handle during transportation and storage.

The handle can be relocated along the rails to a position that gives the best weight balance.

1. To relocate the handle, first turn the handle locking dial several times to loosen the handle. Make sure to support the housing so that it does not become unstable if the locking dial is overly loosened.
2. Slide the handle up or down on the rail to achieve the desired balance.
3. Turn the handle locking dial clockwise to tighten.

Inserting Your Microphone

1. Unscrew and remove the rear dome.
2. Loosen the front and rear rail clamping levers.
3. Slide the suspension body out of the main housing. To achieve optimum balance and isolation, you may need to adjust the location of the shock mount bands.
4. Place your microphone above the shock mount bands and gently push the microphone body into the shock mount bands, ensuring that the microphone is secure.

Fitting a Cable

1. Plug the XLR cable into the XLR socket of your microphone, taking care to align the rails with the main housing, and slide the suspension assembly back into the main housing.
2. Tighten the front and rear rail clamping levers.
3. Screw the rear dome back in place.

Note: If using the pre-installed ZP-1 cable, secure the cable in place using the cable grommet at the rear of the rails, ensuring that the orientation matches the image shown. If using a cable other than the one supplied with ZP-1, secure it in place using the cable grommet, ensuring there is enough room to connect the rear dome.

Note: Connect the cable to the microphone and adjust the handle to the desired angle for use.

Adjusting the Suspension Mounts

Some microphones will require the shock clip to be shifted forward or backwards along rail. To adjust the position of the suspension mounts, follow the instructions below.

1. Use a screwdriver to loosen the clamp screw on the shock clip.
2. Hold the base of the shock clip and the rail while gently sliding the shock clip to the desired location.
3. Ensure that the shock clip is centered and sitting straight up and down on the rail, then re-tighten the clamp screw.
