Videographers and major
network crews worked with us when designing our new XLR Adapter
for cameras that have XLR inputs. We listened to their concerns
and needs for audio flexibility. The result is the full featured
XLR-Mix™ Pro. The XLR-Mix Pro works with any video camera or
camcorder that ALREADY has built in XLR inputs.
The XLR-MIX™ Pro allows you to expand your audio input
capabilities. The XLR-Mix Pro features 2 XLR audio inputs and
two 1/8" audio inputs. You can use any 3 inputs and have them
mix to a single XLR output.
In addition, you'll still have the other XLR input that is
built-in to the camera, so you now use a total of 4 audio inputs
in your video production.
One of the feature that wedding and event videographers asked us
for, was a way to still use their wireless microphone systems
that have a 1/8" output plug. (Example, some of the wireless mic
systems such as the Azden 100LT or Sennheiser EW100 series
output to a 1/8" plug). We designed the XLR-Mix™ Pro with two
1/8" jacks for this reason.
Here are your audio input choices:
- Input 1 is an XLR audio input
- Input 2 you can use either an XLR input or 1/8" input
- Input 3 is a 1/8" audio input
- Input 1 and 2 have separate Mic/Line level switches, while input
3 is for mix level only. Each of the 3 input channels has it's
own audio level control.
The XLR-Mix™ Pro mixer also features a Ground Lift switch, to
eliminate any ground loop hum problems you may encounter when
plugging into an audio mixing board.
The output connection is via the male XLR jack.
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-MIX 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.
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.

Custom 4.5ft XLR Cable
Custom made 4.5 ft cable is designed to reach from your XLR-BP™ XLR audio adapter to your camera with ease.
XLR-Mix Pro Features:
- Two XLR Balanced Input Jacks - Featuring Neutrik XLR jacks with locking connections. This
ensures the XLR cables don't pull out.
- Two 1/8" Input Jacks (can be used with balanced or unbalanced inputs)
- Nickel-Based Lined Shielded Case - Provides a superior EMI & RFI shield rating.
- 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.
- Mic/Line Level Selection - Input 1 and 2 have separate mic/line level switches giving you the
choice of mic level input or line level input from an audio mixing board.
- 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 of the 3 inputs have
it's own audio level control.
- XLR Output Connection - Allow you to plug into video camera's with XLR connections.
- No Power Required - Passive device.
Ideal for today's digital HDV Camcorders
- Lightweight, Rugged and Portable - 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 built-in XLR inputs.
- Ideal for Line Level Inputs or externally phantom powered condenser mics.

Customer Comments

"After seeing you ads for the XLR-MIX Pro, I thought what a
great idea, so I ordered one. So many times I've needed to use 3
mics in the field, but couldn't because the camera only has two
mic inputs. I didn't want to drag a full size mixer into the
field just to add 1 or 2 more mics. I've been using the XLR-MIX
Pro for a few months now and I am very pleased. The audio
quality is superb and the small size is great. Great product."
Timothy Hatten, Dallas, TX
"I was excited to see the XLR-MIX Pro come out, I ordered one as
soon as you told me about it. Well, I put it through it's paces
over the last week and I would like to report it does a great
job. I am not limited anymore to just two XLR inputs and having
the ability to plug in wireless mic systems with 1/8" plugs is a
bonus that I appreciate. The audio quality is fantastic. Just to
let you know, I have also been using your XLR-BP Pro with my
VX-2000 with fantastic results." Herb McClurey, New York.
"I am shooting with the new HDV video camera from Sony, the Z1U.
The XLR-Mix Pro has been a life saver for me in those situations
where I need more than 2 XLR inputs. Having the 1/8" mini jack
is an additional bonus, as it allows me to use my Azden 100LT
wireless mic system without having to use any adapter cables to
convert from a mini plug to XLR. I will definitely pass the word
around about how great the XLR-Mix Pro is." Daniel Schwartz,
Mobile, AL
"Just dropping you a line to tell you
that I am very impressed by the XLR-Mix Pro. I've been using it
for the last month on several jobs with fantastic results. Being
able to expand my audio inputs on my DSR-250 has been a great
benefit to me. Keep up the good work." Ralph McClure, San Jose,
Ca.

"Got your XLR-Mix Pro and used in the field for the last two
weeks. All I can say is "SWEET". It's a great product. A must
have for anyone doing serious field work with multiple mics."
Troy Mason, Denver, Co.
"As a wedding videographer, I like to run 2 wireless mics along
with a shotgun mic and if I can, take a live feed. Thus, I found
myself needing 4 input on my PD-170. The XLR-MIX Pro to the
rescue! I now have my two Sennheiser wireless mics feeding into
the 1/8" inputs, while my shotgun mic feeds into the XLR input
on the XLR-Mix Pro, with the output then going into Input 1 on
the camera. Then I take the house feed into input 2 on the
camera. Problem solved. Thank you, I wouldn't have been able to
do it so easily without the XLR Mix Pro. Once again, thank you
for designing great video and audio equipment that we really
need." Harrison Foster, Today's Your Day Wedding Productions.
