DXA-5Da
Passive XLR Adapter for DSLR Camcorders
• Before using this high quality device, please read this
operating manual thoroughly to obtain the highest performance.
• Please contact us if you have any problems or questions.
The BeachTek DXA-5Da is a two-channel, transformer balanced
XLR adapter for attaching external microphones and other audio
gear to any DSLR camera that has a built-in mic jack. It can also be
used with any camcorder or other audio recording device that has
a mic jack. The DXA-5Da uses high quality balancing transformers,
which are completely noise free for superb audio.
The DXA-5Da is very easy to set up and use. It allows you to con-
nect a wide variety of audio devices including professional micro-
phones, wireless systems and even take a feed from a house sound
system or mixer. The built-in level meters show the input signal
strength at a glance while the trim controls allow you to adjust the
input level for optimum recording. The headphone jack lets you
monitor the audio that is coming out of the adapter.
A unique feature of the DXA-5Da is the ability to control the wild
swings of the Auto Gain Control that plague most cameras. This
dramatically reduces noise during quiet moments of recording.
The adapter mounts to the bottom of the camera and can also be
mounted to any standard tripod.
