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 connect a wide variety of audio devices including professional microphones, wireless systems and even take a feed from a house sound system or mixer.

| 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful  Life Saver, Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: BeachTek DXA-5Da Passive Dual XLR Audio Adapter for DSLR Camcorders with Mic Jack (Electronics) I do a lot of interview shoots and I like the portability and results from my Canon 5D MKII but as a professional I need levels and a way to monitor the audio. This makes that all possible and the quality is amazing. I have used Beachteck products in the past and this one is in the right place at the right time 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful  Nice Form - Poorly Built, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: BeachTek DXA-5Da Passive Dual XLR Audio Adapter for DSLR Camcorders with Mic Jack (Electronics) I ordered the BeachTek DXA-5Da, and upon its arrival, I immediately decided to return it. The casing is a cheap plastic; much cheaper than I expected. For example, the 9 volt battery cover has a very cheap cover and clip that would wear out very quickly. After opening it just one time, I knew that it will never hold up to daily production use. It's a rigid plastic tab built similarly to a TV remote battery cover... and we've ALL had to tape one of those closed... just imagine having to replace the 9 volt battery every few hours, and dealing with that. No, thanks... I'll pass.If you're going to spend the money for this, do yourself a favor and spend the extra $20 and get the BeachTek DXA-SLR with phantom power, and metal body. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful  Great to monitor audio, but cheap, plastic build, By krispin "krispin" (Berkeley, CA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: BeachTek DXA-5Da Passive Dual XLR Audio Adapter for DSLR Camcorders with Mic Jack (Electronics) Let me start off by saying it's amazing to be able to monitor your audio on your Canon 7D. For a few years I've been relying on my Rode Video Mic and on occasion it's been switched off by mistake without me knowing. I also can't stand to sync audio from my Zoom H4n using my lavs (even with Plural Eyes), so this is beautiful. It's the cheap plastic box that gets me. It looks great mounted below my 7D, but it makes the camera completely shaky and unstable when mounted on my 504HD/536 Manfrotto combo tripod. I also tried it on my shoulder mount with my follow focus, but every time I turned the focus dial, the camera would bend up and down making my shots useless. I really like the functionality of the circuitry itself, but have to give it three stars for not being in a metal enclosure. |
