TASCAM adds a microphone adapter for Nikon ZR with the CA-XLR2d-N


TASCAM announces the CA-XLR2d-N microphone adapter, developed in conjunction with Nikon. This compact adapter brings XLR input expansion and professional-grade audio capture to the new Nikon ZR.

Designed to bridge the gap between professional audio and modern video workflows, the CA-XLR2d-N delivers external audio directly to the camera, eliminating the need for complex post-production syncing tasks. TASCAM’s HDDA microphone preamps allow users to capture clean, noise-free recordings with a wide dynamic range in a variety of filming scenarios.

Featuring dual XLR/TRS combo jacks and a dedicated 3.5mm stereo mini jack, the CA-XLR2d-N is poised to deliver everything from shotgun and condenser microphones to lavalieres and line-level sources directly to Nikon cameras. TASCAM’s high-performance AD converters transmit digital audio via a digital accessory shoe, drawing power directly from the camera body for a convenient, streamlined recording solution. Additional features, such as headphone monitoring, built-in microphone shock-mount, plus analog output, provide flexible monitoring and pro-level quality for Nikon’s ZR.

TASCAM CA XLR2d N 2

The TASCAM CA-XLR2d-N provides the freedom to select the right microphone for the job, no matter the environment. Other processing functions, such as Auto-Level, Low-Cut Filter, and Limiter, further enhance performance in demanding conditions. TASCAM worked closely with Nikon to ensure the new adapter’s seamless integration.

TASCAM also released the new CA-AK1-N conversion adapter. The CA-AK1-N is an accessory hot shoe adapter designed to fit on any of the CA-XLR2d models, making them compatible with Nikon cameras.

The CA-AK1 is a conversion adapter that allows one CA-XLR2d to connect to cameras from various manufacturers. By replacing your existing CA-XLR2d adapter, you can have more options of cameras to connect.

TASCAM has an extensive list of cameras and their compatibility, so you know what functions work with a particular camera.

Pricing and Availability

The CA-XLR2d-N retails for $399. The CA-AK1 adapters are $99. Neither is currently available.
