BeachTek DXA-GO Quick Setup Manual

DXA-GO
Custom Adapter / Bracket for the RODE GO Wireless
Quick Setup Guide
1) Mount the DXA-GO to the camera shoe and lock down the mounting foot.
2) Connect the supplied output cable from the OUT jack on the adapter to the MIC
input on the camera. If the camera has a MIC/LINE input selector, set it to MIC.
3) Set the M/S switch to M for mono when using one microphone, or to S for stereo
when using two microphones.
4) Initially set the LEFT and RIGHT trim controls fully clockwise for no attenuation.
5) Mount your GO receiver to the front shoe of the adapter to easily view display. You
can also mount a second GO or another wireless mic or shotgun to the top shoe of
the adapter.
6) Connect mono microphones to the LEFT and or RIGHT inputs on the adapter.
Connect stereo microphones to the STEREO input.
7) Set the output level of the GO receiver to the highest level. If you have a shotgun
mic attached with an adjustable output level, set that to the highest setting as well.
8) If your camera has a PHONE jack, plug your headphones into this to monitor the
audio. Be sure that you hear audio on both channels from the connected devices.
9) Set the camera to manual audio mode and dial the gain down to the lowest setting
to eliminate any noise from the camera preamplifiers - you want an average
reading of -12dB on the VU meter.
10) Use the trim controls on the DXA-GO to fine tune the audio levels on each channel.
You are now ready to begin recording.
