Azden FMX-DSLR Portable Audio Mixer for Digital-SLR Camera
Azden's FMX-DSLR Portable Audio Mixer for Digital-SLR Camera is a two-channel mixer designed specifically for use with a DSLR camera.

The mixer has automatic gain control, a return feature and can be mounted directly to the camera or to a tripod for placement flexibility.
- Two-Channel Mixer
- This stereo mixer is designed specifically for those who want to use pro-quality microphones with a digital-SLR camera. The XLR inputs are compatible with a wide range of audio recording devices like shotguns, wireless mics and more
- Automatic Gain Control
- The mixer has an automatic gain control circuit, so when it's turned on it creates a constant signal to go to the camera. This is always engaged to reduce noise in the signal
- Return Feature
- This lets you take the signal from the headphone out on your camera and send it into the mixer so you can listen to the camera's sound as opposed to the mixer sound. That way you can hear what's on the tape as opposed to what's coming out of the mixer
- Mounting
- The mixer has a mount that allows you to mount it directly to the bottom of your camera. It also has a tripod mount on the bottom for flexibility in placement

Comments about Azden FMX-DSLR Portable Audio Mixer for Digital-SLR Camera:
Using this with my Sony A77, and the audio is nice and clean. It's great to get rid of the Auto Gain, and this mixer splits the channel coming in rather than afterward, allowing separation of the auto gain signal from the audio track. I haven't had a problem with it encroaching yet, but it's a nice option. The L R options are a little odd, but I appreciate how many different ways this little box can work. One big problem is that due to the size of the box, and its proportions, using it with larger lenses makes it awkward to setup. I think I need a spacer to make room for the lenses I use. It's also built more sturdy than the Comparable beachtek I looked at, but I cannot compare their sound quality as I haven't used the beachtek. This one can handle up to 3 inputs as well, 2 XLR and 1 1/8" stereo jack.
