BeachTek MCC-2 Audio Adapter/Bracket

Passive and battery-free, the BeachTek MCC-2 is a two-channel audio adapter/bracket that sits on a camera’s shoe and connects a wireless receiver and a self-powered camera-mounted mic to the camera’s mic input.

It has two mono mini-jack inputs and one stereo mini-jack input. Left and right trim controls set each channel’s level, and a mono/stereo switch either mixes both channels to the camera’s left and right channels or keeps them separate. Because the circuit is passive, it adds no noise and resists clipping.

The extruded aluminum chassis has three integrated mounting shoes for wireless receivers and shotgun mics. The MCC-2 fits any camcorder or DSLR with a standard shoe, though many Sony camcorders lack one. A detachable output cable runs to the camera’s mic input. The MCC-2 works best with sensitive condenser mics rated above −35 dBV.
