The CA-XLR2d is a two-channel microphone adapter and preamplifier that allows external microphones to be used to record high-quality professional stereo sound with a mirrorless or other camera.
The audio signal is transferred directly to the camera – in digital or analogue form – and recorded along with the video signal, eliminating the need for subsequent synchronisation and reducing post-production time. Two XLR/TRS input terminals and one 3.5-mm stereo mini input are available for virtually any dynamic or condenser handheld, shotgun, lavalier as well as any other microphone or line-level signal – with the CA-XLR2d you are well prepared for whatever shooting and filming is ahead.
Thanks to Tascam’s long-standing expertise in audio technology and premium A/D converters, the CA-XLR2d stands for clean, noise-free, professional sound at 16-bit/24-bit resolution and sampling frequencies of 48 kHz or 96 kHz. The included audio processing features such as auto-level, low-cut filter and limiter can be accessed using convenient switches. CA-XLR2d-C and CA-XLR2d-F are sending a digital audio signal directly to the camera via a compatible accessory shoe, so there is no second conversion step which could add noise or distortion, and the CA-XLR2d can be powered by a compatible camera.
Don’t worry if your camera’s hot shoe cannot handle a digital audio signal nor power the Tascam mic adapter. The CA-XLR2d-AN analogue kit can be used with virtually any camera that has an analogue audio input. Attach the included battery box (two AA batteries) and connect the analogue output of the CA-XLR2d to the microphone input of the camera with the included stereo audio cable. This allows you to benefit from the high-quality microphone preamplifiers and audio processing functions and significantly improve the sound of your film recordings.
