REVIEW
Beachtek’s response was
music to my ears. “We
sell many DXA-2T units
to churches for this. The
adapter will match the
signal levels, provide ground
isolation and convert the
balanced signals to unbalanced for noise free
operation”.
The installation was
very easy. Attaching the
DXA-2T to the bottom of
camcorder and then to the
tripod. DXA-2T plugged
directly into the output our
sound board with a XLR
cable. From the DXA-2T
we plugged directly into the
mic input of the camcorder
with a 1/8” stereo mini
connector. With the gain
controls on the adapter, it
produced the result we set
out to achieve.
We have been using
the DXA-2T since August
2015 and it has eliminated
the crowd noise and has
given us the ability to have
a high quality video with
exceptional audio that we are
have been able to upload to
our website, http://kellercofc.
org/videos/ to share God’s
word to the world.

and resurrection of Jesus
Christ – Jesus’ church.
The church He established
with His life, His death and
His resurrection almost
2,000 years ago. The Keller
Church of Christ expects to
continue to grow and thrive
in our community for many
years to come.
As we continue to grow
and reach out to the world,
we have utilized the use
of technology to expand
our reach. We began to
video our sermons and
upload them to our website.
With the ability of a HD
camcorder we found that we
could achieve this goal but
soon found that although we
were capturing the video the
audio quality was very poor.
I reached out to A/V
professionals to find that
your best option for good
quality
sound would
be to try to find a camera
with XLR inputs. As I
continued my research I
came across the Beachtek
DXA-2T universal compact
camcorder adapter. I
reached out to Beachtek
for suggestions on what
my options would be using
the camcorder we had to
improve our audio quality.
