Description

The Beachtek MCC-2 is a two-channel, audio adapter/bracket 
combo that lets you mount, connect and control 2 audio 
devices for camcorders or DSLR cameras. This adapter is 
designed to easily attach wireless mics and small, self 
powered, camera mounted microphones such as the popular 
Rode Videomics that have unbalanced mini-plug connectors. 
Since the adapter is a passive device, it is completely noise-
free for superb audio. The adapter is also virtually unclipable 
and offers an extremely wide dynamic range. No power or 
batteries are required to operate the adapter.

The MCC-2 is very easy to set up and use. The dual trim 
controls allow you to adjust the signal levels independently and 
the output switch lets you select mono or stereo operation. The
rugged extruded aluminum chassis has 3 integrated mounting 
shoes to securely attach the wireless mics and shotguns. Its 
compact size fits neatly on top of any camcorder or DSLR 
camera that has a standard mounting shoe.
