The XLR-BP™
Pro is an XLR adapter that provides you with the ability to connect to professional audio equipment,
audio mixers and professional mics. You can run long balanced audio lines
and have superb noise free audio with this XLR adapter. The XLR-BP Pro™
XLR adapter will work with ALL camcorders that have a 1/8" mic input jack.
The XLR-BP Pro™ - XLR
adapter has features such as, an auxiliary
1/8" mini jack and a 1/4" jack that can be used as balanced or unbalanced input, a true
ground lift switch, lightweight design and improved audio performance.
Our audio quality is the
best. We use custom transformers for better frequency response and
our XLR adapters do not suffer from insertion loss and high frequency
cutoff as other XLR adapters do.
All of our XLR adapter
cases, including the XLR-BP PRO™ case,
is shielded against both EMI & RFI interference.
Only our XLR adapters that
provides this level of shielding and meets military specs.
Our
XLR adapter case provides total shielding to the entire circuit inside.
In addition, each custom transformer is also properly wrapped multiple times with
an EMI & RFI shielding material for superior shielding.
Our XLR adapter offers two XLR inputs, one 1/4" input and one 1/8"
mini input,
so you will
have total flexibility in your audio connections. You can use any
two of these inputs connections, in any combination. With each of
the two inputs featuring volume controls and mic/line level input selection.
Input 1 and 2 can either be recorded as separate audio tracks or
mixed together, depending on the Stereo/Mono switch setting.
Each XLR adapter is built using only pro
grade audio transformers,
audio pots, switches and components. All components are circuit
board mounted. The result is an XLR adapter with superior audio
performance and extremely quiet operation.
We use Neutrik locking XLR connectors.
This prevents
the XLR cables from pulling out of the XLR audio adapter.
The XLR-BP™ Pro XLR audio adapter clips onto you
belt and comes with a 4 ft cable with a stereo mini plug so it can plug
into your camera's mic jack.
We have sold our XLR Audio Adapters to ABC, CBS, VideoMaker Magazine, CNN,
Inside Edition,
Entertainment Tonight, Discovery, Army, Air
Force, Marines, WB, Disney, plus our XLR adapter is used by countless
video production companies in the USA and around the world.
Pro XLR Adapter Features:
- Two XLR Balanced Inputs - Featuring Neutrik XLR jacks with
locking connections. This ensures the XLR cables don't pull out.
- A Single 1/4" Input (can be used with balanced or unbalanced
inputs)
- A Single 1/8" Mini Input
- Nickel-Based Lined Shielded Case
- Provides a
superior EMI & RFI shield rating and meets military specs.
- High Quality Shielded Transformers - Offer virtually no
insertion loss and superior frequency response. Each transform is
wrapped multiple times with a shielding material that protects against
both EMI & RFI for noise free operation.
- Stereo/Mono/Mix Switch:
The mono position allows you
to have one mic input record on both the right and left audio tracks.
The stereo position allows input 1 to record on the left audio track,
with input 2 recording on the right audio track.
You can use the XLR-BP™ in a mix mode, this allows you to mix input 1
and input 2 together and record the mixed inputs on both the right and
left audio track.
- Mic/Line Level Selection - Each input has a mic/line level
switch giving you the choice of mic level input or line level input from
an audio mixing board.
- Voltage Block Circuit - This circuit is necessary as the mic jack on some video cameras
actually outputs 2.5 to 3 volts of power and can cause problems with
some microphones and can be a source of noise. All of our different
XLR-BP's have this circuit.
- Ground Lift Switch - helps eliminate
ground loop hum in the audio. A ground lift switch allows you to
break the ground connection between two devices, thus eliminating common
ground loop problems. This is critical when connecting to various
audio equipment. Note: The ground lift switch is not a
ground selection switch, which simply changes the ground path to the
camera, thus keeping the ground loop problem present. (Plus, on
some cameras this switch useless)
- Audio Level Controls - Using professional grade
audio pots, each input has it's own audio level control. Note: If
your camera has an AGC (automatic gain control) circuit and you are
using two mics, the AGC will take the strongest input and lower it to an
acceptable level. This can cause the other input to be very weak. By
using the audio level controls you can turn down the strongest input to
balance it with the other input. Resulting in better audio levels on
both audio inputs.
- 4ft Shielded Cable - The XLR-BP™ has a 4ft
shielded cable with a right angle 1/8" stereo plug on the end to plug
into the camera's mic jack.
- No Power Required - Passive device.
- Lightweight - The XLR audio
adapter is lightweight, so you won't have a heavy
box pulling down on your belt or pocket.
- Works with all video cameras with a mic jack. Also,
works with DAT and mini disc recorders.
- Ideal for Line Level Inputs or externally phantom powered condenser
mics.

We consulted with audio
engineers, videographers and professional camera operators when designing
the XLR-BP 3 Pro™ XLR audio adapter. This was to ensure we had all
the features they requested and the audio performance they demanded in an
XLR adapter.
The XLR-BP Pro™ Pro ideal for use with
the Smoothcam or other types of Steady Cam type of devices, as it removes
the weight of the XLR adapter and XLR cables from being attached directly to the camera.
Records audio to two separate audio tracks or you can
use the XLR-BP Pro™ as an audio mixer.

Customer Comments:
"The XLR-BP PRO is really a great audio device. Took it of Africa
on a 3 week shoot, shot in all kinds of conditions, it held up great.
The XLR-BP Pro gave us perfect audio every time. I was very
pleased to see that is was so lightweight and yet so durable. (We
accidentally dropped from the roof of a truck while breaking down our
gear). The XLR-BP Pro is worth every penny we paid." Jan Von
Roza, Island Film & Video
"A colleague was shooting a small indie film
when his sound guy, Tim, broke his foot on the second day of production. I
was asked to step in and takeover for him. Tim was using your XLR-BP PRO
to feed audio into a VX-2000. Both of us were amazed at the superb sound
quality we were getting with our mics feeding through XLR-BP PRO. Not once
did ever encounter any noise problems. I have work in the audio field in
LA for the last 18 years and I would like to say this is a great product.
I would highly recommend to any filmmaker. I just ordered one
through your website for myself." JR Corman
"After using my
new XLR-BP Pro for the last week, I can say with all certainty that I will
recommend this product to all of my colleagues. This is far superior
than my (under the camera model). I use to have problems connecting
to my Mackie audio mixer with my old (model). Got a constant ground
loop hum. Now when I connect up using the XLR-BP Pro and setting the
ground lift switch to "lift" I great clean sounding audio. The
XLR-BP Pro is a great improvement of my (old model)." Charlie Cox
"To anyone who uses a Steadicam or a
Steadicam type device: Get the XLR-BP Pro. It is the only
adapter that really allows you to use XLR audio mics and keep the
Steadicam balanced. No jury rigging, no modification, just clip the
XLR-BP Pro on your belt and go. This is a terrific product."
Carlton Hammond, Steadicam Jr Owner.
"Wanted to let you folks at Studio 1 that your Super Jib
Arm and the XLR-BP are terrific products. That past week we mounted
out GL-1 on the Super Jib Arm and connected the XLR-BP to the GL-1.
It made it so much easier for us to have the XLR-BP with the audio
controls clipped to our pocket, whereas before we couldn't reach the audio
controls when the camera was up in the air. Also, the Super Jib Arm
has opened us up to a how new level of creativity. Thanks for the
great products and keep up the good work." L. Robert Kinder,
Internet Email. "Every time I opened the LCD screen I was
getting noise in my (under the camera) adapter. I found that by
moving it about 6 inches away from the camera the noise would go away.
After asking around on the web, I was directed to your site by another guy
who had the same problem. I ordered the XLR-BP Pro and I tested it
upon receiving it. Works great. No noise what so ever, even
when I hold it under the camera! Thank you for building an excellent
product." Karl Hench, Rockport, Ill.
"The XLR-BP PRO deserves an A+. After putting
it through tests both in-house and I the field the XLR-BP PRO offers
excellent sound quality, no noise problem when running the camera from A/C
power or battery. The ground lift switch was a great idea. I’ve had
problem when interfacing your old XLR adapter to my audio mixer, but after
testing the XLR-BP PRO with the ground lift switch my problems are gone.
The versatility of the unit, the easy access controls and it‘s solid
construction make this the best XLR adapter I‘ve own." S. Lee Bonner
"The XLR-BP PRO not only gives great audio,
but it even takes a beating! I was shooting a special interest video on
BMX biking. During one shot I was riding on the tailgate of a pickup truck
just shooting action shots of the bikers. I had my shotgun mic and XLR-BP
PRO laying beside me. We hit a hard bump and the XLR-BP PRO and mic flew
off the tailgate and both took a hard hit. The mic didn’t survive, but the
XLR-BP PRO did and only suffered a few scratches. We continued to use the
XLR-BP Pro while shooting the rest of the video. Even after taking a
beating, we got prefect audio. You got my vote for product of the year."
Oscar Rameriz
"Great product! I really like the
design of your new XLR-BP Professional. The sound quality is
fantastic and there was no noise when I connected it up to different mics
and mixers to test it. I am currently working on a production and I
am using it daily with great result." Bruce Farnsworth, Hollywood,
CA.
"I am a film student here in LA and I own a JVC VS-200 (also know as the
JVC DV2000) mini-DV camera. I tried using an "under the camera XLR
adapter" but I quickly found out that is was a pain in the a** because the
tape and battery eject buttons were on the bottom of the camera.
This meant I had to remove the "XLR adapter" every time I wanted to change
the tape or battery. Then I saw another student using your XLR-BP
with his DV-2000. I ordered on right away and have been using it for
about 3 weeks now. What a great product!! What a difference it
has made for me. I am able to access the tape eject buttons and
battery release button quickly and easily. Plus - I couldn't believe
how much lighter the camera is without the XLR adapter mounted under it
and weight of the cables pulling on the camera. The XLRBP is an
awesome product! I have been recommending it to other students here
at school." TJ Foss, Los Angeles, CA
"I purchased the XLR-BP Professional and
wanted to report, this is one of the best purchases I ever made.
Very quite, very clean audio, well thought out placement of the controls
and very noise free. I have put my (old xlr adapter) up for sale, as
your new XLR-BP Pro is so much better." Lee Wong
