In 2007 JZ Microphones was established in Riga, Latvia. After twenty years of designing several dozen successful microphones, Mic Designer Juris Zarins decided to redirect his experience and passion for design into his own line of handcrafted recording microphones. JZ Microphones are the combination of open-minded thinking leading to an innovative approach and great experience lending deep understanding of fine microphone construction. JZ Microphones combine all the elements critical to world-class microphone design; patented capsule technology, precision electronics and innovative industrial design.

The JZ Microphones team is dedicated to music creation and the recording process.

We ask you: What is sound? It is not black or white, it is impermanent and often it does not explain anything in particular.

We believe sound is an emotional stream connecting all of us as it inspires our greatest works. As the sound lives in its own world and can be very complicated, our objective is to reduce the physical limitations of delivering it to your recording, keeping its complexity and beauty unaltered, for everyone who loves sound as much we do.
