There is a company Carlson-Strand that makes a mounted adapter for the VX3 allowing use of 2 XLR mics. The adapter is mounted to the bottom of the unit so the unbalanced cable is short compaired to the longer balanced low impedance cable from the mics. I don't know if there is a low-z to hi z transformer in the step or not. The company advertises in the back of several video mags such as videoMaker, video, so it might be worth a call to find out just what their setup is. Another solution — go to a music shop with a good service department, take you camera/manual with specks and the mic you wish to use and have them make custom cabling for you with any transformers (if necessary) added. You can test it with them until it does the job you want. Most good shops (particularly if they support live sound setups for bands) can do this quite easily. Reg Harris
