Sony XLRK3M

Enhance the audio quality of your video productions with the Sony XLR-K3M XLR Adapter Kit-a powerful and adaptable audio solution for filmmakers, broadcasters, and content creators who demand professional sound. This kit integrates seamlessly with Sony cameras featuring a Multi Interface Shoe, enabling direct digital audio transmission to the camera for pristine, noise-free sound. With both digital and analog compatibility, it's ready for a wide variety of camera models and production setups.

Designed to support high-end audio capture, the XLR-K3M includes two XLR/TRS combo jacks that support line input, mic input, or mic input with 48V phantom power, as well as a 3.5mm stereo mini jack. This versatile input range allows users to connect professional microphones, lavaliers, and field audio gear. The adapter also comes equipped with the ECM-XM1 super-directional monaural shotgun microphone, ideal for capturing crisp dialogue in interviews and narrative shoots. A fur-type windscreen is included to reduce wind interference during outdoor recordings.

The XLR-K3M is crafted for ease of use on dynamic sets. It supports direct cable-free mounting onto compatible cameras, drawing power and transmitting audio through the Multi Interface Shoe. For more complex rigs, such as camera cages or gimbals, included extension cables allow for repositioning of the adapter, giving users full freedom to build out their setup as needed.

Mechanically, the unit features an advanced shock and vibration suppression design that minimizes handling noise-essential for clear audio in handheld or moving shots. Additional audio control features include manual and automatic recording level adjustments, linked input control, attenuation settings, and a switchable low-cut filter (100/300 Hz), enabling precise management of audio characteristics on set and reducing post-production time.

Compact and lightweight at just 187 grams (6.6 ounces), the XLR-K3M offers a powerful blend of professional-grade sound quality and operational flexibility, making it an indispensable tool for serious video creators.
