Xlr Adapter
Which type of XLR adapter is better?
I have a Canon HG10 and am thinking about getting a microphone (most likely the Azden SGM-1X) but realize that I will need an XLR adapter to connect to the mini MIC jack on the camera. I have done some research and found that Beachtek makes affordable XLR adapters, but I don’t know which one would be best.
Which XLR adapter would be best for a Canon HG10? The DXA-2S OR DXA-4?
Do I even need an XLR adapter unit like Beachtek? Could I just use an XLR –> 1/8″ input? Or would that cause hissing or other audio imperfections?
The DXA-2s and the DXA-4 look like they go for about $180 each (B&H).
They look like they are very similar in capabilities, controls and connectivity – and they will do what you want.
I have used – and like – my DXA-6 for several years.
I don’t know what you are planning on capturing to video… but you might want to check out the CX211 or CX231 from

I recently got a CX231 and it is pretty cool – watch and listen to the comparison video at the website… it works just like that. I’ve used an Audio Technica AT-825 and an NRG Research SA-568 with it… I like the CX231 because it has phantom power (as does the DXA-6), but you may not need that.
