BeachTek DXA-MAX

With the optional RODE SC7 smartphone cable, you can easily connect a professional XLR microphone for superb audio. Ideal for use with interview mics for one channel audio.

You can also record two-channel audio onto an iPhone with the optional RODE AI-Micro Compact Audio Interface and Beachtek BT-SC6 cable. This allows you to use the bracketing feature to record audio to both channels at different levels so you have a backup track in case the primary one gets one blown out. You can also add a second mic or wireless with a TRS connector to the second channel.

Ultra performance

Powerful low-noise preamplifiers with dual gain settings provide a strong, clear signal to the camera. This allows you to reduce the camera gain which dramatically reduces the hiss.  You can now use the very clean preamplifiers in the adapter to effectively replace the preamplifiers in the camera. This is the key to dramatically increasing the signal-to-noise ratio for in camera recording. You now get comparable or better results than using a separate digital audio recorder to capture quality audio.

Audio Bracketing

A very useful feature allows you to use audio bracketing when using a single mono microphone to have a backup channel that is recorded at a lower level. This gives you a safety track in case the primary channel gets distorted from an overly hot input.

Removable Cheese Plate

The removable Cheese Plate has a built-in shoe slot plus several threaded ¼” and 3/8” mounting holes to easily add accessories to the top of your camera. Each side of the chassis also has additional built-in sturdy mounting shoes which is ideal for mounting wireless microphones. The brass mounting foot allows the unit to attach to the camera shoe so it is up and out of the way of the camera battery drawer. Our optional V-CLIK makes it even easier to quickly and securely click-on and click-off anything from lights, microphones, monitors and more.

Impressive Run Times

No more having to waste money on buying replacement batteries. Built-in high capacity LiPo battery for up to ten hours of operation when phantom power is not being used. Check battery level at a glance with Green/Yellow/Red status indicator. You can also power the device externally via the Micro USB port from any commonly available USB battery for unlimited run times.

Virtually indestructable

Tough, extruded aluminum chassis is virtually indestructible with rock solid electronics you can rely on. Not even a two-ton truck rolling over it will damage it. Works under pressure – just like you do!
