Sony XLR-A4 XLR Adapter with 32-bit Floating Point

The Sony XLR-A4 XLR Adapter enhances audio capabilities for the Sony a7R VI camera by adding two combo XLR-1/4" inputs and a 3.5mm mic input. It supports 96 kHz sampling and 32-bit floating point recording, generating separate WAV files saved in-camera. The adapter connects via the Multi-Interface Shoe, providing a cable-free digital audio interface with dual ADCs and four-channel input.

High-Quality Audio with 32-Bit Floating Point Recording

The Sony XLR-A4 adapter supports 96 kHz sampling and 32-bit floating point recording, allowing for exceptionally clear and dynamic audio capture. This means you can record with a wider dynamic range and less risk of distortion, even in challenging sound environments. The 32-bit float format also provides greater flexibility in post-production, reducing the need for re-recording or extensive audio correction.

Multiple Input Options for Versatile Audio Sources

This adapter features two combo XLR-1/4" inputs alongside a 3.5mm microphone input, enabling connection to a wide range of professional microphones and audio devices. Whether you’re using lavalier mics, shotgun microphones, or line-level instruments, the XLR-A4 accommodates them all. This versatility is essential for creators who work with different setups and need reliable, high-quality audio capture on the go.

Four-Channel Input with Dual ADCs

The built-in dual analogue-to-digital converters (ADCs) allow simultaneous four-channel input, expanding your recording possibilities. This is particularly useful for interviews, multi-person podcasts, or complex audio environments where multiple sources need to be captured independently. The separate processing of channels ensures clean, interference-free audio signals for each input.

Seamless Integration with Sony a7R VI via Multi-Interface Shoe

Connecting directly to the camera’s Multi-Interface Shoe means no extra cables are needed, reducing clutter and potential points of failure during shoots. This digital audio interface ensures stable, high-quality signal transfer and simplifies setup, making it easier to focus on your content rather than technical issues. The secure mounting also keeps the adapter firmly in place during movement.

Separate WAV File Recording for Efficient Workflow

The adapter can generate separate WAV files that are saved directly in-camera, allowing you to manage audio files alongside your video footage without extra steps. This feature speeds up the editing process by providing clean, high-resolution audio files ready for post-production, reducing the need for syncing external audio separately.

Physical Controls with Protective Covers

All essential controls and dials are located on the side of the adapter, designed for easy access during recording. Protective covers prevent accidental adjustments, which can be a common issue in fast-paced shooting environments. This thoughtful design helps maintain consistent audio levels and settings throughout your take.

Integrated Microphone Holder for Convenience

The built-in microphone holder adds practical value by securely holding your microphone in place, reducing the need for additional mounting accessories. This makes the setup more compact and manageable, especially when working in tight spaces or on handheld rigs.
