Y-cable with (2x)3-pin LEMO to a 3,5mm jack

(1/1)

one8ung:
Want to buy a new pair of DPA 4061 Miniature Omnidirectional Microphones with 3-pin LEMO connectors.

Is there a way to build a Y-cable with (2x)3-pin LEMO to a 3,5mm jack to power them with a CA-UBB and record with my Tascam DR-2d?

Or do you recommend to go for a DPA d:vice?

I like to go for the first option because I'm also running IEM on the Tascam.

one8ung:
Reading now that the DPA d:vice have MicroDot connectors

SMsound:
Not a direct answer to your question, but FWIW, for my  >:D rig I run my pair of 4060's via the DPA 6001BC (or DPA 4099 if you like the low-cut) into a Zoom F3. Once I cut off the metal from the Zoom, it will be a pretty tiny solution that is 32-bit and gets the full potential of the DPA 6060's due to the proper voltage supply. Of course, you could still go smaller and more  >:D with a d:vice or a PiP supply recorder.

The D:Vice apparently won't work with new iphones that have USB-C.

FWIW, I don't love their microdots -- seem to me at least to be more fragile than alternatives. I'm always worried the thread will strip.

It's possible but the easiest way to accomplish what you want is to cut the connectors off and re-wire them to a 3.5mm mini plug.

Trew Audio and B and H Photo sell Lemo to mini plug adapters so you may be able to accomplish what you are after with off the shelf components if you don't want to chop the mic cables but it is expensive and may be difficult to get the pinouts aligned without having something custom made.

Please note when you are searching for things that the connector (output) is called the plug and the receptacle for that connector (input) is called the jack. It's a common mix up with the terminology.

I have re-wired the set to a 3,5mm jack I got now and try to avoid it with my new set.
