If you want a BeachTek DXA-5D…
Just received this email from our BeachTek rep friend:
I found a Dealer that has stock of 6 DXA-5D adapters with phantom power. You can contact Nick at Roberts Distributing at 800-726-5544. They are selling them for $333.33 each.
The newer cheaper model (DXA-5Da) does not have phantom power so this might be a good opportunity for you to grab on if you need it and save over the new DXA-SLR model we talked about earlier….
