Beach Video Services, now BeachTek started business as a small video production company in 1991 and quickly realised the many inherent limitations in low cost prosumer and even professional gear.
They first developed a simple XLR to mini-plug adaptor that allowed connection of professional microphones to their Sony VX3 camcorder. They soon realised that many
other people had this same need and over the years have developed this simple adaptor into the range of adaptor boxes (popularly known as Beach Boxes) available today.
LTF are pleased to be able to offer the full range of BeachTek Camcorder XLR adaptors from passive adaptors, powered adaptors with phantom power to the ultimate adaptor
with dual pre-amps, limiters and phantom powering.
All "Beach Boxes" feature dual balanced XLR microphone input connectors and most a single unbalanced mini jack auxiliary input for radio mic or similar device. All are
assembled using a rugged metal enclosure that attaches to the base of the camera by means of the tripod mounting screw and similarly provides, in the base of the box, a duplicate for on-tripod use.
