Add two XLR inputs to your V-RAPTOR camera with the RED DSMC3 5-Pin to Dual XLR 3-Pin Adapter. Connect the included 5-pin ODU cable to your camera's ODU port, and the other end of the cable to the adapter's port. The adapter can provide 48V phantom power and supports both mic and line-level inputs. It mounts to the V-Raptor using a 3/8"-26 screw, and has anti-twist pins to prevent it from spinning on your camera. The unit also features 6 x M2.5 screw holes for future accessories.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. 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.

Q: 2. There is some product photos showing two switches on the back of the unit (Digital/Analog) and (Input Select). Can all 3 channels be selected for output to my camera?

A: The Digital/ Analog switch must be set based on whether the attached camera can accept a digital audio source or not. If the camera can accept a Digital Audio connection, then set the switch to Digital. If not, then set the switch to Analog. In terms of audio input selection, if your camera can accept 4 channels of audio, you can switch input select to IN1-IN2 and all input channels will be sent to the camera. If your camera can only accept 2 channels of audio, then you can use inputs 1 and 2, or input 3.

Q: 3. Two questions: Will this Adapter (for sure) work with the Sony a6400 and allow 2 microphones to be recorded on 2 separate tracks internally?
