Sony XLR Adaptor Kit (XLRK3M.SYU)
The Sony XLR-K3M is a dual-channel XLR audio adapter that allows you to connect microphones and other audio sources to cameras equipped with a multi-interface shoe Released alongside the A7R IV, which takes advantage of its built-in digital audio interface, the adapter can produce its best quality by sending a digital audio stream directly to the camera through the multi-interface shoe. Other Sony cameras with the standard MI shoe can still use the microphone as there is a selectable digital/analog output.
The XLR-K3M features two XLR-1/4" combo microphone / line inputs with 48V phantom power and a 3.5mm stereo input with plug-in power, all with individual level controls. Intuitive controls make the adapter easy to use. An ECM-XM1 shotgun is included, so you can immediately start recording your YouTube videos, Facebook livestreams and interviews, be it at home, in the studio or on the go.
When connected via the multi-interface shoe from a compatible camera with a built-in digital audio interface, the audio signal is transferred directly to the camera in digital form, so no degradation can occur. A simple switch also provides compatibility with a wide range of cameras using an analog interface.
