Sony XLR-A4 Digital XLR Audio Adapter in more detail
32-Bit Float Audio Recording
The XLR-A4 supports 32-bit float recording for greater dynamic range and reduced risk of clipped audio during unpredictable recording situations. This allows filmmakers and creators to capture everything from quiet speech through to sudden loud peaks without manually adjusting gain levels during recording.
96kHz High-Resolution Audio
Support for 96kHz audio recording provides higher-resolution sound capture for professional video production, interviews, documentaries and commercial workflows. Sony also incorporates dual analogue-to-digital converters to reduce noise and improve recording clarity.
Four-Channel Audio Support
The adapter supports up to four audio channels simultaneously through XLR and stereo mini-jack inputs. This allows more flexible microphone configurations for interviews, multi-person productions, ambient sound recording and backup audio tracks.
Direct Multi Interface Shoe Connection
The XLR-A4 connects directly through Sony’s Multi Interface Shoe for cable-free digital audio transfer and camera-powered operation. This reduces cable clutter while maintaining direct synchronisation between video and audio recording.
Rig and Cage Compatibility
Sony includes a 60cm Shoe Audio Extension Cable and reinforcement attachment to support professional cages, gimbals and larger production rigs. The low-profile design also helps maintain more stable handling during handheld and mobile shooting setups.
USB Audio Support
The adapter additionally supports USB audio connectivity for direct-to-computer workflows including podcasting, streaming and studio recording applications.
