Hey, what’s up! You may have noticed that the sound quality in
this video is different from our previous videos. This is because I recorded the sound on the new
wireless microphone system called ZGCINE Atom. The full audio track from this video is recorded
on this microphone. I will not do a separate audio test because the whole video is an audio test.
ZGCINE Atom wireless microphone system has a receiver and transmitter with built-in
microphone. There is also an external lavarier microphone in the package.
By the way, I think this microphone system is mainly designed for smartphones,
because there is a mini tripod in the package. OK, let’s do unboxing and full review of ZGCINE
Atom wireless microphone system. Unboxing
On the box, we can see big images of receiver and transmitter. There is also
an inscription of professional wireless film and television recording microphone series.
The main features of the microphone are on the side face, such as fast charging, built-in mic,
2.4G transmission, and real-time monitoring. The specifications are on the other side.
Inside the box, we have a carrying case. When you open the case, you will find a receiver and
transmitter, mini tripod, phone clip, cold shoe adapter, wind muff, case, lavalier microphone,
TRS to TRRS smartphone cable, TRS to TRS camera cable, USB Type-C charging cable and user manual.
You know, I'm surprised that this microphone has carrying case and even tripod. I have already
tested similar microphone systems, but they don’t have these accessories. By the way, the price of
ZGCINE Atom wireless microphone system is only $89 on Amazon. So, it is quite affordable product.
Design Talking about design,
receiver and transmitter are very similar. They have the same size and color. The manufacturer has
written the receiver and transmitter on each device so that we are not confused.
The transmitter has audio input port and built-in microphone on one side, and USB Type-C charging
port on the other. There are also three physical buttons, such as power, mute and pairing.
The receiver also has a power button, but the other two buttons are volume up and down. Then,
we can see an audio output port for connection headphones, recording output
for connection to recording device by using audio cable, and USB Type-C charging port.
By the way, receiver and transmitter also have status indicators.
Livelier microphone doesn’t have any buttons, only a metal clothing clip.
By the way, I record this sound on the built-in microphone in transmitter, but later I will give
you the sound from external livelier mic. Also, I want to show you a wind muff. The
manufacturer says that it has a new design. We can see lock and unlock icons next to the
built-in microphone on transmitter. So, you just need to take wind muff,
put it on the mic, and rotate. That’s all! OK, now, let me tell you about the pairing
process. Pairing
First, you need to take transmitter and receiver in your hands, and press the power buttons on
them, if they are off. The status indicators will light up and flashing red and blue.
You don't have to do anything else, just wait for blue light is always on.
If nothing happens or there is any interference when using,
then double click a pairing button on transmitter to reselect the signal channel.
The maximum audio range is 50 meters or 164 feet. However, this is in open fields. Probably,
the range is about 20-30 meters indoors. The signal delay is only 10ms.
You can use the microphone system with smartphone or camera. You need to connect TRS cable from
the package to receiver and recording device. This is a smartphone in my case.
You can also connect a headphone to receiver for real-time monitoring.
As I already said, you can use an external livelier mic.
It is connected to transmitter. By the way, let’s check the livelier microphone quality.
Livelier microphone quality All the video up to this point,
you have heard the sound from the built-in microphone on transmitter of ZGCINE Atom. Now,
you hear the sound from the external livelier mic that is connected to transmitter. Which sound
do you like more? Write in the comments below. Let's go back to recording audio on the built-in
microphone. Battery
Finally, we have to talk about battery of ZGCINE wireless microphone system. The transmitter and
receiver are equipped with 500mAh battery. The battery life on a single charge is up to 6 hours.
By the way, the manufacturer says that microphone system supports fast charging.
The full battery charge of transmitter and receiver takes only 2 hours.
Conclusion ZGCINE ATOM is
an affordable wireless microphone system for only $89. You could hear the microphone quality during
the whole video. I think it is really good. I also like a carrying case, mini tripod
and even the new design of wind muff. All this makes ZGCINE ATOM microphone
very attractive to buy. For those who do decide to buy, I will leave a link to
Amazon in description under the video. Thank you for watching! See you soon.
