POMPTON PLAINS, N.J. — July 31, 2025 — Zaxcom today is pleased to announce the all new ZMT5-HH handheld transmitter is now shipping. Crafted from sleek, machined metal, it’s lightweight, cool to the touch, and built to perform. ZMT5-HH is the ultimate handheld transmitter for sound professionals. The device features interchangeable mic capsules, crystal-clear encrypted audio, internal recording, remote control functionality, time code, and the capability to run wirelessly or wired at the same time.
The ergonomic design protects the XLR, locks out accidental button presses, and hides a powerful antenna inside. With a quick-swap battery that lasts up to 10 hours, ZMT5-HH is ready for any performance, anywhere.
The revolutionary handheld microphone can operate as both a wireless transmitter and a hardwired microphone simultaneously. Hardwired balanced mic level analog audio offers an alternative to wireless transmission or can be used simultaneously as a backup or sent to another device. ZMT5-HH is compatible with any Shure* 1.25″ opening and 28 thread pitch compatible mic capsule. Mic capsules are sold separately.
Wireless audio is transmitted using 100% digital modulation, resulting in fully encrypted audio. Digital encryption is the only way to ensure the privacy of all audio transmissions. A digital transmission also provides audio quality far superior to an analog system.
Audio can be recorded internally to a microSD card using the highly reliable lossless MARF (Mobile Audio Recording Format), which eliminates file corruption common to recordings due to dead battery or early card removal.
Advanced features include ZaxNet, where frequency, output power, and record mode can be remotely controlled. Wireless audio transmission also features NeverClip, which extends the dynamic range of the microphone to 128dB, eliminating the need for a compressor that distorts the natural sound quality at high-volume audio levels.
The handheld transmitter is powered by a single 18650 Li-ion battery and can last up to 10 hours. ZMT5-HH is available in the 470-698 MHz frequency range and is priced at $2,195. Contact your local authorized dealer about shipping.
