Recording video is only half of the equation. Audio is just as important, and that’s why we’re diving into essential audio gear with this list. You’ll find both budget audio equipment and neat solutions that won’t break the budget, but will enhance the in-camera audio.
This list is mostly about improving your camera’s built-in audio capabilities, but also essential yet affordable external equipment for capturing good sound on set. Shotgun mics, lavalier mics, on-camera mic preamps, you name it.
Everything in here should really be the bare minimum of audio gear you have for your kit. Decent audio is so important that it just doesn’t make sense to rely only on built-in solutions.

The DXA-MICRO-PRO from Beachtek is an active 2-channel audio adapter. It is designed to connect one XLR mic with 48V phantom power and two 3.5mm microphones to a DSLR or camcorder with a 3.5mm mic input.
Both 3.5mm inputs feature plug-in power. This allows you to record the audio directly to the camera in sync with the picture for videographers, sound designers, and more. With dual gain-adjustment settings, the adapter provides a stronger audio level to the camera and bypasses the noisy camera preamplifiers. Built-in good/over level indicators allow you to verify the signal levels at a glance and the trim controls let you adjust the output signal for optimum recording.
A headphone jack monitors your audio from the adapter during recording or camera playback. Finally, the DXA-MICRO-PRO will conveniently mount under the camera for a secure attachment to a tripod base or will mount on the hot shoe above the camera. It is powered by a single 9V battery.
