BeachTek DXA-RED Low-Noise Preamplifier for RED Cameras
The BeachTek DXA-RED gives RED DSMC2 cameras two XLR inputs through a compact low-noise preamplifier with phantom power.
It has two gain settings and Good/Over LED level indicators, and its preamps give 94 dB of dynamic range. Main and aux 3.5 mm outputs carry the signal out. With a single mono mic, audio bracketing records a backup channel at a lower level, a safety track in case the main channel distorts from a hot input.
The DXA-RED runs from a 2-pin LEMO jack at 5 to 18 V or a Micro USB jack at 5 V. It has mounting shoes, and the included V-CLIK quick release plate snaps it on or off a rig.
It also works with the ARRI ALEXA Mini through the BeachTek BT-RED2ALX cable, the ALEXA Mini LF through the BT-RED2LF, and any DSLR camera with a mic jack through the included SC35 cable.
