Easily add professional balanced XLR microphones or wireless devices to your camera for cinematic sound. The powerful low-noise preamplifiers with phantom power give you 100dB of dynamic range for exceptionally clean audio. The two XLR inputs are transformer balanced for galvanic isolation and high common mode rejection. Accepts MIC or LINE level inputs for versatility.

A very useful feature allows you to use audio bracketing when using a single mono microphone to have a backup channel that is recorded at a lower level. This gives you a safety track in case the primary channel gets distorted from an overly hot input. This effectively eliminates the need for any limiters which can add their own type of distortion.
