BeachTek DXA-6

BeachTek DXA-6 XLR mic adaptor box mounted on Sony DVcamDXA-6

Now, an XLR adaptor & phantom power unit in one compact device. Has all the great features of our popular DXA-4 adaptors with the addition of 48volt phantom power on both channels. Works with any stereo camcorder.

The DXA-6 Dual Phantom Power Adaptor allows you to attach two balanced XLR audio devices to your camcorder. Each input signal is sent to a MIC/LINE switch to allow you to set the proper level, then to an audio control to adjust attenuation.

The balanced input signal is then converted to an unbalanced output through an impedance matching transformer. Finally, the output signal is sent through an attached shiBeachTek DXA-6 XLR mic adaptor boxelded cable terminating in a stereo mini-plug that connects to your camcorder’s microphone jack. When the phantom power is activated, the DXA-6 supplies 48volts to power condenser microphones attached to either XLR input.

The auxiliary input allows you to attach wireless microphones that use standard mini-jack connectors. This signal is sent to the right channel. A switch lets you select between stereo or mono operation. For stereo operation, the adaptor sends the left input signal to track 1 left and the right input signal to track 1 right on the DV tape. The two channels are never mixed during recording allowing you to control both channels during editing for maximum versatility. For mono operation, both channels are mixed together - ideal when using only one audio source to give you two channel recording.
