BeachTek DXA-6HD プリント

 

   The MONO setting mixes both channels together and sends the 

audio to both the right and left channels which is ideal when only one 

microphone is being used. Stereo keeps both channels separated 

when two microphones are connected to the  adapter for two discreet 

audio channels. When in MONO mode, be sure to keep the trim 

control on the unused channel fully clockwise to reduce the loading 

effect on the working channel.
5. XLR Inputs

   The two XLR inputs can accept balanced or unbalanced 

connections. To convert the input to unbalanced, simply ground pin 

1 to 3 on the XLR input cable. Be sure to turn off the phantom power 

for any channel that has an unbalanced device connected to it.
6. Output Cable

   The attached shielded cable terminates in a gold plated, stereo 

mini plug connector. Plug this into the microphone jack on your 

camcorder.
Bottom Dip Switches
7. MIC / LINE Switches

   To connect a microphone to either channel of the DXA-6HD, set the 

corresponding MIC/LINE switch to MIC. To connect a line level output 

from a mixer to the DXA-6HD, set the MIC/LINE switch to LINE to 

activate a 40 dB pad. This attenuates the signal to the proper level so 

that it will not overdrive the input of your camcorder.

Please call us if you have any questions.  

 

   Mount the DXA-6HD securely to the tripod bushing on the under 

side of your camcorder. Connect the cable from the DXA-6HD to the 

camcorder’s microphone jack. The onboard microphone should now 

be disabled. 
Camera Setup

   Set the audio mode switch on the back of the camcorder to MAN 

to deactivate the AGC. Turn the AUDIO LEVEL thumbwheel on the 

camcorder to 3 on the dial. Set the input level on the camera menu to 

EXT LINE. This bypasses the camcorders preamplifiers for superior 

audio. You are now ready to attach external microphones to the 

adapter.
Adapter Controls and Connectors
1. Power

   Install a fresh 9 volt alkaline battery in the adapter if you wish to 

use phantom power Turn on the unit to activate the phantom power 

supplies. The Power LED should light to indicate good battery power. 

Turn off the power when not in use to conserve battery power.
2. Phantom Power

   If your condenser microphone requires 48 volts phantom power 

to operate, first connect the microphone to the adapter. Activate the 

PWR ON switch and then the PH ON switch for the channel it is 

connected to. The LED above the corresponding channel trim control 

should light to indicate that 48 volt power is present. Do not plug  

dynamic microphones, unbalanced devices, wireless receivers or 

feeds from mixing boards into the adapter with the phantom power 

activated as it may damage the connecting device.
3. Trim Controls

   Each channel of the DXA-6HD has a trim control to adjust the input 

signal level. 

   Adjust the trim controls on each channel of the adapter for the 

desired volume level on camcorder. Use the level indicator on the 

camera as a guide. Be sure not to activate the red bar on the level 

meter to avoid distortion. 

   As a guide, the recording levels should be no higher than -12 dBFS 

(Full Scale). Please refer to your camcorder’s user manual for more 

information on setting the proper recording levels.
