Not a great option for the Komodo audio ecosystem

By Michael
Rated 3 out of 5

Great build, and is a solid product - However the pre-amp in the Komodo mic port is insufficiently powered for a clean signal/noise ratio with this adaptor. My tests (even using a self-powered shotgun mic) required the gain in the Komodo menu at full strength, which created a heightened noise floor.

Reliable product!

Always a reliable product, I personally carry three for multi camera shoots.

Great for the Red Scarlet W

Works well with the Red Scarlet W, bringing XLR connections to the camera.

A must have and works on multiple cameras

This is my second A-Box. I've had to add this one for multi camera shoots when they prefer to sync by audio rather than timecode. Might end up buying a third someday. Works perfectly for running XLR cables to DSLR's and other types of cameras. Unfortunately as cameras have gotten smaller and DSLR's have gotten better, the 1/8 audio connection is just something audio and video professionals have to be prepared for. Since the 1/8 TRS cable doesn't lock into the camera, the A-Box provides a simple solution to keep the pressure off the 1/8 connection and reduces the chances of the cable pulling out. It doesn't take much force to pull the 1/8 connector partly out and that will cause problems when trying to sync cameras by audio. Many camera operators don't even wear headsets so It's very easy for a camera operator not to notice if the cable has backed out. The included bushings make it easy to attach to a variety of camera rigs. For cameras that don't have a rig, I just use a Red Whip or some other cord to attach the A-Box to the tripod. As long as the box is supporting the weight of the XLR cable, I normally don't have a problem with the 1/8 connector coming loose. Don't be tempted to just run a long 1/8 extension cable from the mic or mixer to the camera. Those cables are too fragile, unbalanced and will add a lot of noise. The longer the 1/8 cable the more noise it will pick up.

Solid, passive input adapter

If you're shooting with RED and need to send scratch audio into the camera via XLR, this is the box to get. Conveniently packaged with all the hardware needed to mount to a camera cage/rig, the A-Box is ready to go with mic-level signal inputs. I mix from a Sound Devices 888, and when there's no need for wireless camera hops, or the client doesn't want to pay for it, cabled is still a viable alternative. So many cameras these days do not have XLR inputs, so a breakout cable or box is needed. The A-Box provides an easy and clean connection.

Will this work with a mic that needs power from the camera like the Sennheiser 416?
Asked by: Jason
This will not provide phantom power to your mic, so unless the mic has its own power source (or integrated battery) then it will not work.

No, the RED V-Raptor does not have a 3.5mm audio input. The Wooden Camera A-Box for RED KOMODO, WEAPON, EPIC-W, SCARLET-W, RAVEN, and DSMC2 will not work on that camera.

Would this work with a C300 MKII for the 3.5mm mic input? I’d like to expand the XLR inputs from 2 to 4. Thanks
Asked by: Anonymous
How so? Isn’t the output a regular 3.5mm stereo output or is it a proprietary RED 3.5mm output? Thanks

question

How is the quality with DSMC2 expander?
Asked by: brad
The quality is not bad. Because the connection to the camera is unbalanced, you get some noise. We opt for dual system most of the time and use the expander as reference. Hope that helps.
