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 maximizes 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. 48 kHz 96 kHz
32 bit float for flexible post-production
32-bit 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.
Dual ADCs for wide dynamic range
To maximize 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 32-bit 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 to enable cable and battery free power and audio connections. Support for Hi-Res Audio microphones and 96 kHz/32-bit float recording delivers high-quality, edit-resilient sound with independent 32-bit 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.
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.
