2x DPA 4060 3Pin Lemo --> 3.5mm Stereo Jack?? How to do?
ricola:
I just got 2 DPA 4060 very cheap but unfortunately with a 3pin Lemo connector (Probably for the Sennheiser wireless system).
I don’t know if there any adapter available to connect it with a 3.5mm stereo mini jack.
I will use this DPA’s together with a SP-Preamp (sound professionals with 1/8” stereo mic input and 9vdc plugin power) and Sony M10.
I just saw a adapter at the german Thomann store but for my taste very expensive. Also I don’t know if that will work?

Is it possible to cut the Lemo connectors and soldering it into a 3.5mm stereo connector like this??

If so, anyone know how to do that soldering? I’m just a newbie for this...
Thanks for your help and suggestions!!
mr qpl:
I had this done at a local music store to my 4061's (2 lemos to a single 1/8"), only cost $15. I wouldn't buy an adaptor unless you are planning on using the lemos at some time (preaching at church? ???)
acidjack:
I would have someone who knows what they are doing do it -- Ted Gakidis or darktrain here can probably do it.
I would keep the original connectors -- they're more stable and the resale value of the mics will be better if the original connectors (I assume you have microdots, not lemos) are included.
For that matter, I'd consider getting a different preamp that worked with those connectors.
ricola:
I think microdots would no problem...but this version have the 3pin Lemo connector, like this. You can get this for 1oo€ immidiately....I think this is a quite cheap option??
Maybe thats the reason you will get this DPA Mics so cheap, because nobody use this Lemo version (unless you have to work with a wireless system).

However I think with a 1/8" connector you can use this Mic in the same way for stealth recording.....
To buy or use an adapter was just an idea, but I prefer a "hard change", because I don't need that Lemo connector.
If I understand correct, the music store cuts the lemo and solder the 2 cables into a 1/8"? Thats exactly what I need!
So maybe it is the best way to go in the next Electronic/Music store?!

If they had the microdots I'd be in favor of keeping the connectors as they are decent and worth keeping and spending some $$ on an adapter which is what I did. In this case, I agree probably worth getting them reterminated to 1/8" as a pair to a single plug. Will work very well for stealth stereo recording in that mode.
