Sony XLR-A4 XLR Adapter

Sony XLR-A4 XLR Adapter
The Sony XLR-A4 is a professional-grade audio interface designed to bring cinema-quality sound recording to the Sony a7R VI. By utilizing the camera’s advanced Multi-Interface (MI) Shoe, this adapter provides a completely cable-free, all-digital audio path that bypasses the camera’s analog circuitry. This ensures a clean, high-fidelity signal for four-channel recording, making it an essential tool for filmmakers, broadcast journalists, and high-end content creators.

Elite Digital Audio Performance
32-Bit Float Recording: Capture audio with virtually unlimited dynamic range. The 32-bit float technology prevents clipping on loud peaks and preserves detail in quiet whispers, allowing for perfect recovery in post-production.

96 kHz Sampling Rate: Record professional, high-resolution audio that meets the standards of high-end cinema and music production.

Internal WAV Backup: To expedite the editing workflow, the adapter can generate separate, high-quality WAV files that are saved directly to the camera’s memory card alongside your video footage.

Four-Channel Input: Featuring dual Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs), the XLR-A4 supports complex multi-mic setups with synchronized digital precision.

Professional Connectivity & Control
Dual Combo Inputs: Equipped with two XLR/TRS combo jacks, allowing for the use of professional balanced microphones or line-level inputs from mixers and instruments.

3.5mm Microphone Jack: An additional stereo 3.5mm input is available for quick connection of smaller on-camera microphones or wireless receivers.

Physical Tactile Dials: The side panel features a comprehensive array of physical dials and switches for manual gain control, low-cut filters, and input selection.

Accident-Proof Design: Protective transparent covers over the controls prevent accidental setting changes during a live take.

Integrated Design & Build
Cable-Free MI Shoe Connection: Power and digital audio data are transmitted directly through the Multi-Interface Shoe, eliminating the need for external cables and reducing the risk of interference or mechanical failure.

Built-In Mic Holder: Features an integrated, shock-absorbing microphone holder designed to accommodate standard shotgun microphones.

Compact & Rugged: Built to withstand professional field use while maintaining a balanced profile atop the mirrorless body.
