Sony XLR-A4 XLR Adapter
The Sony XLR-A4 is a professional-grade audio interface designed to bring cinema-quality sound recording to the Sony a7R VI. By utilizing the camera’s advanced Multi-Interface (MI) Shoe, this adapter provides a completely cable-free, all-digital audio path that bypasses the camera’s analog circuitry. This ensures a clean, high-fidelity signal for four-channel recording, making it an essential tool for filmmakers, broadcast journalists, and high-end content creators.

Elite Digital Audio Performance
32-Bit Float Recording: Capture audio with virtually unlimited dynamic range. The 32-bit float technology prevents clipping on loud peaks and preserves detail in quiet whispers, allowing for perfect recovery in post-production.

96 kHz Sampling Rate: Record professional, high-resolution audio that meets the standards of high-end cinema and music production.

Internal WAV Backup: To expedite the editing workflow, the adapter can generate separate, high-quality WAV files that are saved directly to the camera’s memory card alongside your video footage.

Four-Channel Input: Featuring dual Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs), the XLR-A4 supports complex multi-mic setups with synchronized digital precision.

Professional Connectivity & Control
Dual Combo Inputs: Equipped with two XLR/TRS combo jacks, allowing for the use of professional balanced microphones or line-level inputs from mixers and instruments.

3.5mm Microphone Jack: An additional stereo 3.5mm input is available for quick connection of smaller on-camera microphones or wireless receivers.

Physical Tactile Dials: The side panel features a comprehensive array of physical dials and switches for manual gain control, low-cut filters, and input selection.

Accident-Proof Design: Protective transparent covers over the controls prevent accidental setting changes during a live take.

Integrated Design & Build
Cable-Free MI Shoe Connection: Power and digital audio data are transmitted directly through the Multi-Interface Shoe, eliminating the need for external cables and reducing the risk of interference or mechanical failure.

Built-In Mic Holder: Features an integrated, shock-absorbing microphone holder designed to accommodate standard shotgun microphones.

Compact & Rugged: Built to withstand professional field use while maintaining a balanced profile atop the mirrorless body.

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Harper ★★★★★

Finally got this to pair with my a7R VI for field recording, and the solid metal build feels reassuringly premium in hand. The locking mechanism is super tight—no accidental disconnects during shoots. Clean, noise-free signal straight into the camera.

Evelyn ★★★★★

I was worried about compatibility, but this adapter locks into the hot shoe mount perfectly and the audio quality is noticeably cleaner than using a basic mic input.

Lucy Z. ★★★★★

The included windscreen fits snugly, and the dual-channel recording gives me clean, separate audio tracks that sync perfectly in post. No more muddled dialogue from events.
