The DPA MicroDot to XLR Adapter connects a DPA miniature microphone with a MicroDot connector to a standard 3-pin XLR input, and the DPA MicroDot to XLR Adapter supplies the microphone with phantom power while it does so. It carries a belt clip for the wearer, and it lets a lavalier or headset microphone that normally lives on a wireless bodypack plug straight into a mixer, recorder or camera with a wired XLR input.
Why Choose DPA MicroDot to XLR Adapter?
Miniature microphones are usually tied to one wireless system, and that limits where they can be used. This adapter breaks that tie: with 48 V phantom power from the XLR input, it powers the microphone and passes its signal to any professional mixer or recorder, and it drives cable runs of up to 300 metres, so the microphone can be used wired at a lectern, on a boom or on a studio floor. The belt clip keeps the adapter on the wearer rather than dangling from the cable, which matters on long shoots and live events.
Key Features
MicroDot to 3-pin XLR: Adapts DPA miniature microphones with MicroDot connectors to standard XLR inputs.
Phantom powered: Runs on 48 V phantom power, and works from 12 V upwards.
Belt clip included: Clips to the wearer so the adapter stays put during use.
Long cable drive: Drives cable runs of up to 300 metres from the microphone.
Wired freedom: Frees a lavalier or headset microphone from its wireless bodypack for wired use.
Professional signal path: Passes the microphone signal to mixers, recorders and cameras with XLR inputs.
Best Suited For
The DPA MicroDot to XLR Adapter suits sound recordists, broadcast engineers, theatre technicians and houses of worship who already own DPA miniature microphones and want to use them wired. It is an adapter, not a microphone: it needs a DPA MicroDot microphone on one side and a phantom-powered XLR input on the other.
Setup and Connection Guide
Plug the microphone’s MicroDot connector into the adapter and clip the adapter to the wearer’s belt or pocket. Connect a standard XLR cable from the adapter to a mixer, recorder or camera input, and switch on 48 V phantom power on that input. Check that the input supplies at least 12 V, set the gain for the microphone, and test the full cable run before the session, since very long runs can pick up interference if routed near mains cables.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which DPA microphones does it fit?
Any DPA miniature microphone terminated with a MicroDot connector, including the 4060 and 6060 lavalier families. Microphones with other terminations need a different adapter.
Does it need a battery?
No. It is powered by phantom power from the XLR input, at 48 V nominally and working from 12 V.
Is this the DAD6001-BC?
The DAD6001-BC is the standard retail version of the MicroDot to 3-pin XLR adapter with belt clip. The sheet row gives no DAD code, so the box code should be checked before dispatch.
