The Sony XLR-H2 XLR Handle Unit allows connection of XLR microphones and enables high-quality audio capture within the Sony ecosystem, with 96kHz/32-bit float recording that handles everything from whispers to sudden loud sounds while reducing the need for gain adjustments and maximising post-production flexibility.
4-Channel Audio Input
The XLR Handle Supports 4-channel audio input, allowing simultaneous multi-microphone recording to independent tracks for flexible editing. Safety channels with different gain settings and flexible input assignment to CH1-CH4 provide greater confidence and creative control.
96kHz Sampling for Detailed Audio
Ambient textures and subtle vocal nuances are captured at up to a 96 kHz sampling frequency for detailed recording that maximises the performance of professional microphones. With a Hi-Res Audio-compatible microphone, frequencies beyond 20kHz can also be captured, expanding post-production flexibility and adding depth and realism to your work.
32-bit Float for Flexible Post-Production
32bit float recording on FX5 provides wide dynamic range and greatly reduced risk of clipping, even if levels are adjusted during editing. This makes post-production workflows more flexible and reduces the need for precise gain adjustments during recording.
Dual ADCs for Wide Dynamic Range
To maximise the performance of high-quality microphones, dual ADCs combining two analog-digital converters (ADCs) operating at different gain levels are employed to capture a wide dynamic range from subtle to loud input sounds. With dual ADCs, the captured audio is converted into 32-bit float digital data, preserving the full dynamic range and enabling greater flexibility in post-production.
Easy-to-Grip, Easy-to-Carry Handle Unit
The easy-to-grip, easy-to-carry handle unit features an extended grip that enhances handling and portability, enabling comfortable camerawork in challenging situations such as low-position shooting. Three anti-rotation threaded holes allow secure mounting of accessories, and an additional threaded hole supports attachment of a cold shoe.
Convenience of Sony's Ecosystem
Simply attach the XLR Handle Unit to the Multi Interface Shoe™ to enable cable and battery free power and audio connections. Support for Hi-Res Audio microphones and 96kHz/32-bit float recording delivers high-quality, edit-resilient sound with independent 32-bit float WAV recording.
