Microphones and accessories
JZ Microphones produces ten microphone models, in whose creation twenty-four patents owned by company are used. Most of the microphones are made with ‘’Golden drop’’ technology – a slightly different gilding process of capsule; in result the sound is much natural and cleaner.[4][5] Also the original design of microphones differ JZ from other microphones, one of the most popular model series Black Hole unique design with hole in body makes attaching easier and also reduces unnecessary sounds.[6][7]
