Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Will this be comparable with the new Tilta pro cage for the GH6?

A: Yes, the Panasonic DMW-XLR1 XLR Microphone Adapter can be used with the Tilta Full Camera Cage Kit for Panasonic GH6 (Pro Kit, Black), as one does not use the Tilta Top Handle.

Q: 2. Does this allow audio recording during VFR mode?

A: Sorry, audio recording is disabled when shooting at variable frame rates. If audio actually was recorded, it would be so slow as to be unusable. The audio you hear in films during slow motion sequences is created. I can say from many slo-mo shots I have participated on the sound generated in real time is not very interesting. However, you can then take that sound and create meaningful effects in your editing.

Q: 3. Could I plug a wireless Sennheiser lavalier receiver into this for Skype?

A: The Sennheiser transmitter is battery powered and cannot use the phantom power feature. This product is not designed o be compatible with Sennheiser bodypack transmitters.

Q: 4. Does this record 2 channels of audio into the gh5? 1, being line One. 2, being line Two. Rather than baking both mics into a single track, so that way I can have better mixing control in editing.

A: Yes it records two separate channels . I used it yesterday for the first time, recording a wireless mic on channel 1 and a shotgun mic on channel two. I had flawless perfect audio.

Q: 5. Since this is powered by the GH5, how does it effect battery life of the camera, especially if using a phantom powered mic?

A: Of course, it uses more battery power. But the batteries are so cheap, that I bought 3 of them.

Q: 6. What's the dynamic range?

A: The GH5, B&H # PADCGH5, which is the camera this item works with offers 10 stops of Dynamic Range. You can expand that to 12 stops with the V-Log Activation, B&H # PADMWSFU1VLO.

Q: 7. Does the Panasonic DMW-XLR1 work with the Panasonic D7? of not what comparable product does?

A: If you are referring to the Lumix G7, I am sorry it is not. Instead you would need to look at a product that connects to the 3.5mm mic input, such as the Tascam DR-60DmkII 4-Input / 4-Track Multi-Track Field Recorder, BH #TADR60DMKII. https://bhpho.to/2ewFSVe

Q: 8. Is there a built in, analog limiter prior to the AD conversion?

Q: 10. Can you record to both channels simultaneously?
