Many thanks, the information below was very helpful. (At least
speaking for myself.)
So I suspect that there are some performance issues involved.
(However, the ZM-1 prototype specs are certainly not that
“amateurish” as some have suggested...)
In the end the ZM-1 is not really on the market yet. All we have is
some “anecdotical evidence” about the microphone’s prototype
performance.
Current product state:
http://www.zylia.co/purchase.html
(“ZYLIA is available in a pre-order”)
Otherwise this microphone and its sw has been reviewed in many places.
Just one link:
https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/zylia-zm-1
A fair review (as cited) would take note of the microphone’s many uses
and high flexibility.
Best,
Stefan Schreiber

Citando Chris Woolf <ch...@chriswoolf.co.uk>:
I think there is indeed some confusion in this discussion between
the signal-to-noise ratio of these mics, and dynamic range.
The first is conventionally related to 1Pa/94dB SPL, and one then
needs to add in a Max SPL figure to get the dynamic range.
We need both bits of information to understand the practicality of any mic.
A noise floor of 24dBA (related to 1Pa) is about par for a small
personal electret mic. A dynamic range of >115dB is what one would
wish for in decent professional mics - that would be a noise floor
of 15dBA and a max SPL of >130dB (with a distortion figure of 3 or
5%).
