This test shows the juicedLink frequency response 13dB better than Beachtek DXA-2S from 20Hz-20KHz. 

 

The 15dB range tested for the Beachtek DXA-2S does not even meet it’s own specifications that accompanied the unit, of +/-3dB for this bandwidth.

 

 

 

Did you realize that in terms of frequency response, there’s about a 13dB difference between this brand new Beachtek DXA-2S Dual XLR Audio Adapter, and the juicedLink CX family of Camcorder Adapter/Preamps?  Let me show you these tests …

 

We’re going to use the HP8903A Audio Analyzer.  The first thing that it does is it has a generator that provides a signal to your device under test.  Then, it has a receiver that will analyze the output of the device under test.  Today, we’re going to measure frequency response.

 

FREQEUNCY RESPONSE MEASUREMENT OF THE BEACHTEK DXA-2S DUAL XLR AUDIO ADAPTER:  The measurement shows a 15dB range from 20Hz to 20KHz (both pots turned up all of the way, mic position, mono position).  Looking at the documentation that accompanied the Beachtek DXA-2S Dual XLR Audio Adapter, it specifies it’s frequency response as +/-3dB from 20Hz-20KHz.  So, this is NOT EVEN CLOSE to meeting Beachtek’s own specifications.

 

FREQEUNCY RESPONSE MEASUREMENT OF A JUICEDLINK CX FAMILY CAMCORDER ADAPTER/PREAMPS:  The measurement shows a 1.94dB range from 20Hz to 20KHz.

 

 

So, the Beachtek DXA-2S tested a 15dB range over 20Hz-20KHz, when their own specification is only +/-3dB.  This is 13dB worse than what was measured for the juicedLink frequency response.
