Q: 4. The question isn't why are 2 mics more expensive than 1, it is why is there a $100 premium over buying 2 separately. Is it because they are 'matched'?

A: The difference in cost between purchasing two Rode NT55 Compact Condenser Microphones with Interchangeable Capsules as opposed to the Matched Pair item can indeed be credited to the fact that the pair is matched, making them more ideal for recording as a stereo pair.

Q: 5. How do I connect a single or pair of these mics to a Sony A7VR or Sony equivalent camera?

A: The Sennheiser MKH 8020 Compact Omnidirectional Condenser Microphone require an XLR to XLR cable and 48V phantom power to function. The Sony a7R V Mirrorless Camera has a 3.5mm mic input as well as the Multi Interface Shoe. In order to connect and power either one or two of the MKH 8020 mics to the camera you will need to use a separate active XLR adapter/mixer or an external recorder. One of the best options is the Sony XLR-K3M Dual-Channel Digital XLR Audio Adapter Kit with Shotgun Microphone which connects to the camera using a cable-free digital connection through the Multi-Interface Shoe. Another option is the TASCAM CA-XLR2d-AN XLR Microphone Adapter Kit for Cameras (B&H # TACAXLR2DAN) which will connect through the camera's 3.5mm mic input. The Comica Audio CVM-AX3 Dual-Channel Audio Mixer for DSLRs (B&H # COCVMAX3) is a budget-friendly alternative that will also connect through the camera's 3.5mm mic input. The three adapters mentioned all have two channels with phantom power which will allow you to connect both mics at the same time.
