The Sony XLR-K3M is a dual-channel digital XLR audio adapter that allows you to connect microphones and other audio sources to cameras equipped with a Multi Interface Shoe. Released alongside the a7R IV, which benefits from its built-in digital audio interface, the adapter is able to produce its best quality by delivering a digital audio stream directly to the camera through the Multi Interface Shoe. Other Sony cameras with the standard MI Shoe can still make use of the microphone as there is a selectable digital/analog output.
The XLR-K3M features two XLR-1/4" combo mic/line inputs with 48V phantom power, and a 3.5mm stereo input with plug-in power, all with individual level controls. Intuitive controls make the adapter easy to use right out of the box. An ECM-XM1 shotgun is included so you can immediately start recording your YouTube videos, Facebook Live streams, and interviews, at home, in the studio, or on the go.

Sony XLR-K3M Reviews
Good product with a few flaws
Overall, this is a good product and nearly essential if XLR inputs are needed so all gripes about the KLM are kind of moot but here are mine: The dead cat doesn't provide much protection against wind. The gain knobs are a little hard to adjust - you're probably not going to be riding the gain while filming. I am also getting a very loud interference noise from my Sennheiser AVX wireless receiver. This also happened with the K2M which uses the same microphone. It could be due to lack of mic shielding. There are work arounds - like using a different shotgun. Even with these shortcomings, I much prefer the K3M to other solutions that require batteries and cables. Getting the 24bit audio a theoretical bonus for me.
why no headphones output
I can hardly understand why Sony did not put a headphones output on this. If I plug my headphones jack in the camera output (Sony A7IV) then I cannot use (turn) properly the LCD screen. K3M would be an appropriate solution for this problem if it had a headphone output. Pitty that Sony didn't care of this. :(
XLR input for A7S3
Probably already made back what this cost me in time savings from Embedded audio. Works great!
Interview style shooting
I use a Rode NTG3B mic as opposed to the one the unit came with but it's great for getting xlr inputs into my Sony a7 iv
Huge Audio Upgrade But All Plastic
I'm really happy with the XLR-K3M. It adds professional audio to my Sony A7SIII and it looks great atop the camera. Just the wow-factor of how the camera looks with the K3M on top is sure to impress clients. And, the mic sounds quite good! Setup was a bit confusing. The instructions are lacking. I figured out that by default, without using the Link feature, Channel 1 will send a safety channel to Channel 2 in the camera. The build feels a bit flimsy, too. I'm worried the cable clamps on the underside, as well as the mic clamp will break. The hot shoe is also just plastic, which I worry will break easily. No 'run and gun' filming with this on the camera... studio only. Lastly, It doesn't seem that the mic clamp can be removed, so there's always that extra heigh and bulk.
Outstanding piece of gear. Takes the a7siii into Fx6 territory.
I've used it with the shotgun mic that comes with it (and it's not bad). I've used it with the Rode wireless go. I've used it with the Sennheiser G3 wireless setup and with the MC46 using phantom. Interviews, weddings etc. Solid every time. If you opt for the 24 bit sound make sure you or your clients have pro level editing software or it may not fly too well. Love the cable that allows you to move the unit to a different part of your rig and out of the way of a top handle. The one drawback is it's a little clumsy feeling/looking. It does take a lot of space. Would be great if i could remove the mic mount to trim it up a little.
Good but overpriced, IMO
Sound is good (not great) and reasonably clean with my in-camera gain at plus 2 on my A74, and a -50 noise floor (room tone) using my Sennheiser 416 shotgun. My 4 star rating is because of the price, which I think is too high. I didn't test the microphone included, but again, for my purposes, it's not needed. My preference would be to offer the unit at a better (lower) price without the microphone. Also, the mic holder should be removable and there should be the ability to monitor the sound on the K3m unit. Finally, the looks of the unit is a bit conspicuous for run and gun video.
Sony digital audio for newer e-mount cameras
Compact mic and mixer system to get high quality audio onto your video clips. I'm using it with an A7S3. I need stereo so I'm not using the mic that came with it. I'm using a Sony ECM-MS2, the same mic I'm using with my FX6.
