Tascam XLR Microphone Adapter for Nikon Mirrorless Cameras Summary
The Tascam XLR Microphone Adapter for Nikon Mirrorless Cameras (CA-XLR2d-AN) is a two-channel XLR microphone adapter for Nikon mirrorless cameras, allowing external microphones to connect via XLR and record audio directly into the camera through a 3.5mm input. Audio is transmitted in analogue form and recorded alongside video.
It sits within Tascam’s camera audio range as the universal variant for cameras without a digital accessory shoe. Two XLR/TRS inputs and a 3.5mm input support microphones, wireless receivers and line-level sources.
HDDA microphone preamps provide low-noise performance with an equivalent input noise of around -120 dBu, while onboard controls include attenuation, limiter and low-cut filtering. Power is supplied via two AA batteries when used in analogue mode, supporting cameras that cannot provide power through a hot shoe connection.

Tascam XLR Microphone Adapter for Nikon Mirrorless Cameras In More Detail
Analogue camera connection
Audio is output via a 3.5mm stereo cable to the camera’s microphone input. This allows use with Nikon mirrorless cameras and other systems without digital audio support through the accessory shoe.
XLR inputs
Two balanced XLR/TRS inputs support microphones and line-level sources. HDDA preamps provide low-noise amplification, with selectable gain, attenuation and 48V phantom power for condenser microphones.
Auxiliary input
A 3.5mm stereo input supports lavalier microphones, wireless receivers and plug-in powered microphones. This expands compatibility with smaller or battery-powered audio systems.
Built-in processing
Controls for low-cut filtering, limiter and auto-level are available directly on the unit. Input channels can be linked for stereo operation, allowing shared adjustment across both channels.
