Separate audio input for FX7
 

Hi

Stubit question but has the Sony HDR-FX7 camera a separate audio input? I have read in a review of this camera the following:
.....All of these Sony camcorders are prosumer camcorders that are aimed at shooters who either don’t have any use for XLR inputs, or have chosen to opt for third-party solutions like Beachtek’s XLR-mini plug adaptors that provide an interface for professional mics...

Can you use this XLR-mini plug adaptors with the FX7? and what is XLR?
