Features

96 kHz sampling for detailed audio

Ambient textures and subtle vocal nuances are captured at up to a 96 kHz sampling frequency for detailed recording that maximises the performance of professional microphones. With a Hi-Res Audio-compatible microphone, frequencies beyond 20 kHz can also be captured, expanding post-production flexibility and adding depth and realism to your work.[1] 48 kHz  [2] 96 kHz

32bit float for flexible post-production

32bit float recording on FX5 provides wide dynamic range and greatly reduced risk of clipping, even if levels are adjusted during editing. This makes post-production workflows more flexible and reduces the need for precise gain adjustments during recording

  1. Audio that is physically clipped at the microphone input stage cannot be restored.

Dual ADCs for wide dynamic range

To maximise the performance of high-quality microphones, dual ADCs combining two analogue-digital converters (ADCs) operating at different gain levels are employed to capture a wide dynamic range from subtle to loud input sounds. With dual ADCs, the captured audio is converted into 32bit float digital data, preserving the full dynamic range and enabling greater flexibility in post-production.

Convenience of Sony's ecosystem

Simply attach the XLR Handle Unit to the Multi Interface (MI) Shoe™ of the FX5

  1. As of July 2026, compatible with FX5 only and not supported on other cameras.
 to enable cable and battery free power and audio connections. Support for Hi-Res Audio microphones and 96 kHz/32bit float recording delivers high-quality, edit-resilient sound with independent 32bit float WAV recording.

Easy-to-grip, easy-to-carry handle unit

The easy‑to‑grip, easy‑to‑carry handle unit features an extended grip that enhances handling and portability, enabling comfortable camerawork in challenging situations such as low‑position shooting. Three anti‑rotation threaded holes allow secure mounting of accessories, and an additional threaded hole supports attachment of a cold shoe

  1. The supplied Accessory Shoe Kit must be attached.
.

4-channel audio input

Supports 4-channel audio input, allowing simultaneous multi-microphone recording to independent tracks for flexible editing. Safety channels with different gain settings and flexible input assignment to CH1–CH4 provide greater confidence and creative control.

Intuitive operation

A high-visibility layout improves operability, with OL (overload) lamps on each input for instant level monitoring. LOW CUT and ATT (attenuator) switches and manual gain dials are grouped on one side, enabling flexible and intuitive setup for each output channel.

Environmentally conscious

Sony's environmental plan “Road to Zero”

  1. For details of Sony’s environmental activities, please see:https://www.sony.co.jp/en/corporate/sustainability/environment/
 aims for a zero environmental footprint by 2050. The XLR Handle Unit uses recycled plastic materials, constituting more than 41%
  1. This ratio is based on the plastic weight of the main unit (excluding the supplied accessories) and is calculated as the weight of recyclable plastics divided by the total weight of plastic parts.
 of the main unit's weight, including our durable SORPLAS™ material. We are also transitioning to non-plastic packaging materials
  1. Materials used in coatings and adhesives are not included.
