Bring Pro-Audio to Consumer Cameras
I am the co-founder of a small hyperlocal video news company. When we started the business we obviously needed to extract as much value out of our gear as possible. That meant choosing consumer equipment for most of our production workflow, including using small Canon Vixia HD cameras over more expensive professional models.Of course good video requires good audio, and while the Vixia has a microphone port they don't work out of the box with high quality microphones. We initially purchased expensive Sennheiser wireless kits to make the connection, but those ended up costing more than the camera did! Enter the Beachtek box.This little device, paired up with a Shure SM58LC Cardioid Dynamic Microphone, delivers exceptional audio for less than $300. The sound is clean, crisp, and best of all very easy for our field reporters to adjust using the Beachtek's dials. This little box is sturdy and survives all of the abuse they are subjected to being dragged from...

Very nice audio addition to your video equipment.
The BeachTek DXA-2T. I just received this wonderful little package today. So far in my initial testing, I really like this little guy. It has 2 balanced XLR connectors, which means, with an XLR connector and a good mic cable, you might go as much as 1,000 ft between the microphone and the camera (though I suppose your camera wouldn't shoot that far) It has very nice Neutrik connectors which are the best in the world. I tested it with a Shure SM57 and thought the audio was very nice. It has a switch so that you can get a single microphone to come into your camera as both left and right channel. It's balanced very well, and my Canon GL-2 had no problem standing on a table with the DXA-2T under it. Overall, my initial impression is that this is a VERY nice piece of gear. There is no phantom power, so you would need another add on piece if you wanted to use a condenser microphone.

Excellent Sound Solution for Interviews, Sturdy Construction
I use this adapter with a Panasonic HDC-TM700K for interviews and have been extremely pleased with its performance. One input is for the stick mic handled by the interviewer and the second input is for a lavalier mic on the subject. This adapter gives me fantastic flexibility for a wide range of voices. For interview situations, it's perfect for my needs.
