Sony XLRH2B Overview

Add two XLR inputs and enjoy improved audio quality with your Sony FX5 using the XLR-H2 XLR Handle Unit. This adapter supports recording with a 96 kHz sampling rate and 32-bit float and can generate separate WAV files that are saved in-camera to expedite the editing process. It connects to the camera via its Multi-Interface Shoe for a cable-free digital audio interface and has dual ADCs and four-channel input.

It has two combo XLR-1/4" inputs along with a 3.5mm mic input and, for easier operation, includes physical controls and dials located on the side with covers to prevent against accidental changes in the middle of a take. The handle makes it easier to operate the camera and has four 1/4"-20 accessory threads for attaching other items. Additionally, there is also an integrated microphone holder.

Note:
Users should be aware that due to the location of the EVF connector and its proximity to the Multi Interface Shoe that the EVF and XLR Handle Unit cannot be used at the same time.
