Description
The BeachTek DXA-SLR ULTRA is a two-channel, active XLR adapter
with built-in preamplifiers 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-SLR ULTRA uses exceptionally low noise, wide bandwidth
preamplifiers for superb audio. This allows you to record high quality
audio directly to the camera which will always be in sync with the video.
Direct audio recording eliminates the need to have a separate audio
recording device and syncing the audio in post editing.
The DXA-SLR ULTRA is very easy to set up and use. It allows you to
connect a wide variety of audio devices including wireless systems,
mixers, sound boards and professional condenser microphones that
require phantom power to operate.
The inputs are transformer balanced for isolation and enhanced circuit
protection. Built-in VU meters makes it easy to verify the proper input
levels at a glance, while the level controls allow you to adjust the output
signal for optimum recording. Built-in fast acting limiters prevent
distortion from overly hot inputs for worry free operation. The phone jack
lets you monitor the audio from the adapter during recording, or camera
during playback.
A unique feature of the DXA-SLR ULTRA is the detachable rod support
base to easily attach a matte box, follow focus and other gear to a rod
support rig.
The adapter mounts to the bottom of the camera and can also be
mounted to any standard tripod.
