Comments about BeachTek BeachTek DXA-5Da Passive Dual XLR Audio Adapter for DSLR Cameras with Mic Jack,:
I planned on using this with my Sennheiser EW100 2G wireless mics. WORD OF CAUTION! Do a lot of testing ahead of time on xmitter, rcver, Beachtek settings, and camera. The unit allows you to 'monitor' audio, but it may not be exactly what the camera is hearing. Also, not all mics will work. Choose carefully between the passive model and the active model.. The VU meters are pretty much worthless. Better Beachtek would have eliminated this feature and charge $100 less.
