Panasonic DMW-XLR2 Overview

Expand the audio capabilities of your DC-GH7 or DC-GH6 mirrorless camera with this shoe-mounted DMW-XLR2 XLR Microphone Adapter from Panasonic. It is powered by the camera directly through the hot shoe and provides two XLR inputs for using professional microphones, and there is an additional 3.5mm stereo audio input for alternative mic options.

The unit features a control panel with a clear cover that sports numerous physical dials and controls for changing the levels, gain, and low cut filter of each input individually. It also supports high-resolution recording formats up to 96 kHz and 32-bit float, and it provides 48V phantom power to either the dual XLR inputs or to the 3.5mm input. The high dynamic range of 32-bit float allows you to record even more information on the volume spectrum, without the need for constant level adjustments.

A cable clamp is provided for cable management, and a cold shoe mount on the top of the unit can support additional accessories.

If you have any compatible Gh7/Gh6 camera cage, you can use the Smallrig cage extended handle to mount the DMW-XLR2 XLR adapter and still have room to mount other accessories. Check it out from here: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1626646-REG/smallrig_3082_top_handle_for_sony.html
