Q: 1. Not a question, but would be nice if Sony could make this unit without the microphone? Sony if you're listening

A: The microphone included is removable, and you can use any XLR based shotgun you'd like. We understand your request, potentially getting a unit with no additional mic, and will pass that feedback along.

Q: 2. can you monitor audio with audio out jack??

A: Yes you can use the audio out jack to monitor but you can't plug a headphone directly in the audio out jack and expect it to work as a headphone driver. The audio out jack is at microphone level and is matched to the microphone input on a DSLR camera. You would need an extra pre-amp to monitor the audio at line or headphone level from the audio out jack. However, the Saramonic BMCC-A01 has a dedicated headphone output with a volume control that works easily for audio monitoring of incoming signals. If you want to monitor incoming signals and audio playback from the camera when needed, then use the headphone jack on the camera as the place to plug in your headphones.

Q: 3. The Sony a6000 does not have any audio jacks on board. Would this allow external audio to be recorded to that body?

A: Yes. The A6000 uses a cable-free connection to send audio into the camera through Sony's Multi-Interface Shoe.

Q: 4. Is there a headphone jack? Will it allow me to record 2 audio channels directly to RX100 VII while monitoring w/headphone?

A: This does not have a headphone jack. You may record two channels of audio to your camera thorugh the hotshoe but you wil need to monitor off your camera, which is better anyway.

Q: 5. Sony a7sii advertises that with XLR-K3M adapter, I can record 4 tracks of audio, but I see in aswers he that the adapter only outputs 2 channels of audio, is that true? How do I get the 4 tracks recorded in a7siii with this and also what position should the switch be for 1, 1+2, or 3? This is where I am seeing that there may be a 2 channel output limitation but what about a7siii?

A: Based on the manual, it seems the A7siii can record 4 channel audio. The XLR-K3M can provide 4 channels of audio when used with this camera. In order to get all 4 channels to record at the same time, you would have to set the input select switch to IN1-IN2.

Q: 6. Two questions: Will this Adapter (for sure) work with the Sony a6400 and allow 2 microphones to be recorded on 2 separate tracks internally?

A: Yes, this mic adapter will work with the a6400. Please note, the digital/ analog switch must be set to ANALOG in order to work. As well, to record two separate audio channels, the input selection switch must be set to IN1-IN2.

Q: 7. Is the XLR-K3M compatible with the a9 III?

A: Yes, the Sony XLR-K3M Dual-Channel Digital XLR Audio Adapter Kit with Shotgun Microphone will be able to interface directly with Sony cameras that come with an MI shoe, such as the AX700.

Q: 9. Does Sony offer anything similar to this, but simply a multi-interface shoe connection to xlr adapter? I would like to see a simple multi-interface shoe adapter to 1, 2, or 3 XLR inputs, and instead of being a box, it's a dongle cable. Does Sony have any plans for something like this?

A: Unfortunately, there are no dongle-style adapters to connect to the Sony cameras with Multi Interface Shoes.

Q: 10. Will this work with a Sony A6400?

A: Yes, the Kopul CMX-2-V2 Two-Channel Passive DSLR XLR Adapter is compatible for use with the 3.5 mm TRS stereo microphone input on the Sony a6400 Mirrorless Camera.
