In this video, I'll show you how you can
use this accessory to record pro-quality
audio with your Sony mirrorless cameras.
Welcome back to The Breakdown,
my name is Miguel Quiles,
recently I had a project I
was working on, where I had to record
audio from two people talking on screen
at the same time. Now if you've ever
recorded audio using the built-in
microphone in any handheld camera, you
probably already know they leave a lot
to be desired. That's where this handy
little accessory comes into play, the
sony XLR- K2M is an adapter that allows
you to connect up to 2 pro quality XLR
microphones directly into the camera
using the sony mult-interface shoe. It
comes in a kit that includes the Sony
ECM XM1 shotgun microphone, with an
included dead cat, that gives you more
flexibility to record audio in different
situations. Setting it up for use with
your Sony cameras is easy, just attach
the K2M adapter to your hot-shoe, then go
into your camera menu and make sure that
your audio levels are turned on, and set
to a comfortable limit that isn't
clipping your audio. You can then control
your channel inputs via the dials and
switches on the side of the K2M as well
as being able to provide phantom power
to your microphones, which is pretty
handy. With that being said, let's see how
it sounds when compared to the internal
audio from the camera that I'm currently
recording with, the sony A7R III. I'll just
read the product description for it off
the Adorama website for reference the
Sony XLR- K2M adapter kit with
microphone allows you to connect professional
quality microphones, mixing consoles and
sound studios to cameras equipped with a
multi interface shoe, including the Sony
A7 series, RX series, and select
camcorders. The Sony XLR-K2M adapter kit
with microphone, allows you to connect
professional quality microphones, mixing
consoles and sound studios, to cameras
equipped with the multi-interface shoe,
including Sony's A7, series RX series, and
select camcorders. The sony XLR-K2M
adapter kit with microphone, allows you
to connect quality microphones, mixing consoles and
sound studios, to cameras equipped with
a multi interface shoe, including the
Sony A7 series RX series, and select
camcorders. The thing I love most about
using this adapter is, that I don't have
to sync up the audio and post. It's all
there in the final video file, which
saves me a lot of time in
post-production. If you have any
questions about this product be sure to
