The Beachtek DXA-CINE is a compact two-channel, active audio adapter with built-in preamplifiers for popular cinema cameras like the ARRI ALEXA Mini and RED DSCM2.
Powerful, low-noise preamplifiers for superb audio
Record high quality audio directly to your cinema camera – no syncing required. The ultra low-noise preamplifiers provide exceptional performance with 60dB of gain and over 100dB in dynamic range. Ideal for the RED DSCM2 or ARRI ALEXA Mini cameras. Compact chassis easily mounts to camera, cage or rails. Constructed of top quality components for outstanding reliability and durability. Externally powered via a 2 pin Lemo connector.
All the features you need for connecting, controlling and monitoring the audio
Built-in Low/Good/Over level indicators make it easy to verify the signal levels at a glance, while the trim controls allow you to adjust the output signal for optimum recording. The phone jack lets you monitor the audio from the adapter during recording, or camera during playback. You can also loop the output audio from your camera back into the adapter to monitor confidence sound if your camera has a headphone jack.
Works with both Mono and Stereo Microphones
Two mono and one stereo 3.5mm inputs with plug-in power work with virtually any camera mounted mic or lapel mic that operates on plug-in power. Also, ideal for use with wireless mics.
Optional XLR to 3.5mm cables available for use with self-powered balanced XLR microphones.
Dual Outputs to Easily Connect to Any Camera
Provides both a +4dBu balanced output via a 5-pin XLR connector and an optional cable for connection to balanced mic inputs such as the ARRI ALEXA Mini, and a +4dBu unbalanced output via a 3.5mm jack with the included cable for connection to the RED DSCM2 module.
Setup a Second Channel for Backup
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.
Easily Mounts to Your Rig
Built-in thumbscrew with 1⁄4” / 20 mounting bolt to easily attach to any threaded hole. Can also be attached to a hot shoe via the removeable brass mounting foot. Three built-in 1⁄4” / 20 threaded inserts allow you to attach multiple accessories
