The DXA-PRE sets a new standard for recording high-quality audio on RED, ALEXA, and other cinema cameras. Designed to be super compact and incredibly tough, this dual XLR adapter with low-noise preamplifiers provides everything you need to capture pristine cinema-quality audio directly to your camera. Its intuitive layout and simple controls allow for seamless operation without unnecessary complexity.
The DXA-PRE is equipped with an easy-to-read VU meter, making it effortless to set your ideal recording levels. With both balanced and unbalanced outputs, it connects to a wide variety of cameras. The included V-CLIK quick release plate lets you snap the unit on or off your camera with ease, adding to its convenience.
A standout feature is its audio bracketing capability, which records a secondary backup channel at a lower level to ensure protection against distorted audio from overly hot inputs. This eliminates the need for limiters and helps ensure perfect audio capture every time.
Weighing just 12 oz, the DXA-PRE is compact and lightweight, making it ideal for mounting on any rig. Its rugged design and robust electronics ensure it can handle the toughest shoots, while custom cables (sold separately) allow for easy integration with a variety of cinema cameras.
