The DXA

The DXA-8 Ultimate Adapter is a superb front end for DV camcorders. Low noise preamps provide clean, powerful audio levels from virtually any microphone and the output level is preset to the sweet spot for the best signal-to-noise ratio. The no fuss limiters eliminate distortion caused by overly hot inputs for great sound every time. Easy to set up - only requires the adjustment of one gain control for each channel. Limit indicating LED's ensure proper gain setting. Dual 48 volt phantom power for professional microphones. One sweet package!
