DXA-FX
Operating Instructions for the DXA-FX Adapter
The BeachTek DXA-FX is a two channel, battery-powered micro-
phone adapter with built in preamplifiers and limiters specifically de-
signed for the Sony HDR-FX1 camcorder. This adapter is designed
to easily attach balanced or unbalanced type microphones to this
camcorder (condenser type microphones require their own power
as the adapter does not supply phantom power). The low noise
preamplifiers boost the audio level from virtually any microphone to
the "sweet spot" for improved signal to noise ratio. The fast acting
limiters virtually eliminate distortion from overly hot inputs.
The DXA-FX is very easy to set up and use, therefore it requires
a minimal amount of fuss. It fits ideally under the Sony HDR-FX1
camcorder and its rugged construction ensures years of use.
