XLR connectivity for a wide range of professional microphones

Microphone choice and placement can make a dramatic difference in the quality of recorded sound, especially when you're recording music. The great thing about the XLR-K2M XLR Adaptor is that it allows you to connect an extremely wide range of high-performance microphones, and it even has switchable +48V phantom power for studio grade condenser microphones. Input level controls on both channels make it easy to match microphone output to the high-quality preamplifiers provided, for optimum performance with a wide variety of sources. This type of capability and quality are a huge advantage when shooting videos of live music.
