Will the 3.5V Plug in Power on the inputs damage a wireless receivers output if connected to one these inputs?
Asked by: Paul
No. Wireless receivers can be connected to any of the 3.5mm mic inputs on the Beachtek DXA-MICRO-PRO PLUS Active Audio Adapter without any issues. Plug-in power for these inputs is only generated when there is a condenser microphone connected that requires voltage. No voltage will be sent to a microphone or device that does not require voltage..

Are the pre-amps improved over the Micro Pro? Otherwise looks like the same except for the powering options.
Asked by: Matt
I did not own the previous model, but would guess the pre-amps are the same. If it helps, once charged, it does have a long battery life. And the package contains an extra rechargeable battery.

Can I record through the stereo channel with a Rode Mini shotgun and use a wireless setup on the L or R channel and still record two separate audio channels?
