Q: 1. XLR-K3M : how to set it for stereo output from Input 1 & 2 to the camera ?

A: If you are connecting two microphones to the Sony XLR-K3M Dual-Channel Digital XLR Audio Adapter Kit with Shotgun Microphone, the signal that goes to the camera would be stereo.

Q: 2. Is it easy to insert the battery and sd card?

Q: 3. What’s the advantage of a digital signal vs an analog signal. I have the xlrk2m and was wondering is it would make a difference

A: If you are able to use the digital connection from this adapter to your camera, this means the signal stays digital going from the digital converter to the camera. There is no additional digital to analog converter the signal must pass through to be heard by the camera. This is ideal if your camera allows for a digital connection.

Q: 4. Can you use an XLR Y cable to get a backup signal at lower db? I.e. connect one cable to the mic (supplying phantom power) and the other two cables to Input #1 and #2. Set Input #1 at say 20db and Input #2 at 10db, thus giving you a backup second signal 10db lower. Clearly I don't want to blow my unit.

A: We would not recommend this set up due to two reasons. 1) Since phantom power may not travel properly through a y cable, you would have to power the mic before the splitter , utilizing a separate phantom power supply. 2) By splitting a mic level signal with a y cable, the level going to each input will already be reduced. Any further reduction in level could further noise into the signal. If you want a backup recording, we would suggest using a separate audio recorder such as the Tascam DR40x which would offer a separate safety track recording.
