BeachTek DXA-6vu

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

With all the great features of the DXA-6, the DXA-6vu sports built-in LED meters to check input levels at a glance. The DXA-6vu gives you all the benefits of using balanced audio devices for clean audio as well as visual confirmation of correct signal levels to ensure the best possible sound recording. Eliminate the guesswork.

The DXA-6vu Dual Metered 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 LED metering is connected to the output as it goes into the camcorder, ensuring you see what the recorder is “seeing”.

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-6vu 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.
