Tascam announced the CA-AK1 conversion adapters for the CA-XLR2d Series XLR Microphone Adapter for Mirrorless Cameras. The CA-AK1 conversion adapter allows one CA-XLR2d to connect to cameras from various manufacturers.
The new CA-AK1 conversion adapters are available in three varieties:
- CA-AK1-C: shoe mount adapter for use with Canon cameras and the CA-XLR2d-C
- CA-AK1-F: shoe mount adapter for use with Fujifilm cameras and the CA-XLR2d-F
- CA-AK1-AN: cold shoe mount adapter for an analog connection with the CA-XLR2d-AN
The new CA-AK1-C and CA-AK1-F conversion adapters enable professional audio via Tascam microphone preamplifiers to interface with mirrorless Canon and select Fujifilm cameras. The CA-XLR2d-AN for Nikon cameras is an analog unit. With the new CA-AK1-AN cold shoe mount adapter, Nikon cameras — and those from other manufacturers that are equipped with an analog 1/8th-inch input — can be used using an analog audio cable from the CA-XLR2d-AN analog out.
The new Tascam CA-AK1 conversion adapters are expected to be available Q4, 2022. They are all here: www.tascam.com
