Why do you want that model rather than one of Beachtek's
cheaper ones? -->>>

Dave, can you elaborate? Do you just reduce the input signal, and that's it?

I wasn't aware of the cheaper models, I'm sure they'd be more appropriate.

The DXA-8 has attenuation and gain but it also has phantom and limiters. The phantom will open you up yto a whole new world of microphones and the limiters will save your butt by compressing the input so your camera audio doesn't overload..

Basically the standard unit is about $170, add the phantom for $270 and the whole ball of wax for $370 (48 volt phantom, preamp and limiters. A lot of basic mixers don't offer full 48 volt phantom.

Beach Tek will be coming out with a line level mixer in the very near future.
