Thank You for Purchasing a BeachTek Product

Congratulations on purchasing the DXA-MICRO PRO+ from the makers

of the world’s most popular audio adapters for DSLR cameras and

camcorders. This adapter is packed with features to enable you to

record professional audio directly to your camera.

Description

The BeachTek DXA-MICRO PRO+ allows you to capture pro audio from

external microphones and other audio gear to any DSLR camera or

camcorder that has a built-in mic jack. Its small size makes it ideal for

today’s compact cameras.

The BeachTek DXA-MICRO PRO+ is the world’s first audio adapter with

a built-in rechargeable battery offering a 10-hour run time. It can also be

externally powered via the Micro USB port.

The DXA-MICRO PRO+ 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-MICRO PRO+ is very easy to set up and use. It allows you to

connect virtually any two microphones at the same time including

camera mounted mics such as the popular Rode VideoMics, wireless

systems, and professional hand held and condenser boom microphones.

The adapter mounts securely to the tripod attachment on bottom of the

camera or to the hot shoe above the camera. Also included is a

removeable cheese plate for added versatility.

Warnings

Ensure that the VOLUME control is set low to avoid excessively loud

audio from damaging your hearing.

Always do a test recording and play back the audio to ensure it is

acceptable.

DO NOT activate phantom power for dynamic microphones, condenser

microphones that do not operate on phantom power, wireless receivers,

mixing boards or any unbalanced device as it may cause damage to

both the adapter and connecting device.

Turn off power to adapter before plugging or unplugging any

microphones or equipment to or from the adapter.
