The Sony XLR-A4 lets you connect XLR microphones to an α camera and capture high-quality audio within the Sony ecosystem, with 96 kHz/32-bit float recording that handles everything from whispers to sudden loud sounds while reducing the need for gain adjustments and maximizing post-production flexibility.
96 kHz sampling for detailed audio
Ambient textures and subtle vocal nuances are captured at up to 96 kHz sampling rate for
detailed recordings that maximize the performance of professional microphones. With a Hi-Res Audio-compatible microphone, frequencies beyond 20 kHz can also be captured, expanding post-production flexibility and adding depth and realism to your work.
32bit float for flexible post-production
32bit float recording on compatible cameras provides wide dynamic range and greatly reduced risk of clipping when levels are adjusted during editing. This makes post-production workflows more flexible and reduces the need for precise gain adjustments during recording.
Dual ADCs for wide dynamic range
To maximize the performance of high-quality microphones, dual ADCs, combining two
analog-digital converters (ADCs) operating at different gain levels, are employed, faithfully
reproducing a wide dynamic range from extremely quiet to loud input sounds. With the dual ADC-equipped XLR Adapter, the captured audio is converted into 32bit float digital data, preserving the full dynamic range and enabling greater flexibility in post-production without precise gain adjustments during recording.
Support for USB audio output
The built-in USB Type-C® port connects directly to a PC for camera-free applications
such as studio recording and audio podcasting. The supplied Mini-stand provides stability and flexibility.
