Video Devices PIX-LR audio interface adds XLR inputs/outputs to the PIX-E series1 min read
Reading Time: < 1 minuteOne of the things that has been missing on many of the recently released external recorders is XLR inputs. For smaller cameras that don’t feature proper audio inputs, there have been very few solutions available. The Atomos Shogun has an XLR breakout cable, but it is not without its limitations. The Convergent Design Odyssey series only has a 3.5mm mini jack for audio input. Video Devices has set out to change this and they have just started shipping their PIX-LR audio interface for the PIX-E Series of recording monitors. The PIX-LR is an optional accessory that adds XLR inputs and outputs to the PIX-E5, PIX-E5H, and PIX-E7 monitors. The accessory also incorporates Sound Devices-designed mic preamps, accurate LED metering, and dedicated transport and gain controls.
The PIX-LR mounts to the bottom of any PIX-E Series monitor via a ΒΌ-inch 20 thread screw. It is constructed from die-cast aluminium and draws power from the monitor it is attached to. It also offers two dedicated gain controls and illuminated, 23-segment LED metering. Other features include two low-noise, wide-gain XLR-3F connections for active-balanced, analog mic-level inputs (1 and 2), and two standard, three-pin XLR-3M connections for balanced, analog outputs.
