Sony XLR-K3M Dual-Channel Digital XLR Audio Adapter Kit with Shotgun Microphone

The Sony XLR-K3M Dual-Channel Digital XLR Audio Adapter Kit with Shotgun Microphone is a professional audio solution designed to bring high-quality, low-noise sound recording directly into compatible Sony cameras. Built for filmmakers, content creators, and broadcast professionals, it enables seamless integration of professional microphones via the camera’s Multi-Interface (MI) shoe—eliminating the need for external recorders or complex cabling.

The adapter features two XLR/TRS combo inputs with 48V phantom power, allowing connection of professional microphones, mixers, and line-level sources. An additional 3.5mm stereo input expands flexibility for lavalier or wireless systems. Each input includes independent level controls, giving precise audio management directly from the unit.

When used with compatible Sony cameras equipped with a digital MI shoe, the XLR-K3M transmits audio as a pure digital signal, minimizing noise and preserving audio fidelity. It also supports analog output for broader compatibility with other MI shoe-equipped cameras, ensuring flexibility across different setups.

The kit includes the ECM-XM1 shotgun microphone, designed for directional audio capture, making it ideal for interviews, filmmaking, vlogging, and live production. A supplied fur windscreen helps reduce wind noise during outdoor recording, ensuring cleaner sound in challenging environments.

Compact and lightweight, the XLR-K3M mounts directly onto the camera, while an included MI shoe extension cable allows flexible positioning when using cages or rigs. With its combination of professional connectivity, digital audio performance, and plug-and-play convenience, it is an essential tool for achieving broadcast-quality sound directly in-camera.
