This may sound stupid, but do you have the Beachtek set to stereo or mono?
Also if you are happy with the Beachtek then great. I also use FX1's with XLR boxes, but gave up on the Beactek boxes, as I found a better alternative.
If you think that you can do better with your audio, then take a look at the Juicedlink XLR adapters. They are soooooo much quieter than the Beachtek boxes. Mainly this is due to the built in (ultra low noise) active pre amps, which keeps the noise floor down quiet.
Every XLR box Beachtek sells except for their most expensive model don't have active pre amps, so there is quite a difference in how the audio sounds. The Beachteks are much noisier. I know I used to use them. there is a lso a real good comparrison online on the Juicedlink site. It also doesn't hurt that the Juicedlinkboxes are much cheaper than the Beachteks.
Sorry to get off track, but I thoght that you might like the info for future reference.
