How can I connect XLR Mic to Camcorder?

[mazooni]

Hi, I have a shure sm57 mic and scarlett 2i4 audio interface. I want to be able to connect it to my sony cx330 but I can't figure it out. Help please.

Thanks .

you cannot - there's no mic input on that camera - you'll have to edit the video later

Sorry, I posted wrong model number. I have the CX380 not the 330. The one I have has a 3.5mm input. I figured out a way to get audio to it without having to buy an expensive adapter like a beachtek, but is there any way I can turn off the built in pre amp?

Thanks .

Why don't you get something like this...

That would be great but I already have a scarlett 2i4 and not to much cash to spare. It would be easier if I could just find a way to turn off the camcorders built in pre amp. If the tascam dr-60d is the only solution then I will get one. How are the pre amps in it?

Thanks
