Topic: adapter for 48V w/ DPA 4060

[Sean Gallemore]

"An XLR adaptor is also available that allows you to hardwire the mic and power it from standard 48V phantom power."

found this on a dealer's site, so anyone have idea what adapter they are talking about.  I can't seem to find the right one.  A part number from a DPA catalog would be ideal.  Thanx

[Sean Gallemore]

here's what I got so far

microdot connector at bottom left

microdot to xlr adapter for P48

so I'm assuming this will work, that is if I'm able to solder that microdot connector onto the 4060 cable.

I also found this while rummaging in the basement, but I have no clue how to make it.

the part number fo this adaptor is DAD6001

so all of these adapters regulate power down to 7V.  what about the battery boxes?  Yeah they take a 9V battery but they can be dropped to 7V as well, no?  Could I use my Sound Pro battery box for this?  Just asking....

the HEB box (made by coresound for the DPA406xs) in fact uses 9V and just a resistor + a capacitor for each channel (without dropping to 7V).

Getting the sound pro battery box to work with the DPAs could be as easy as replacing the resistors with 10K ohm values (that's what HEB boxes use) and the capacitors will also probably need to be replaced with other values as well if you want to use the rolloff.

it's times like these I wish I was an EE major

come on guys we gotta get this figured out I have 2 sets of 4061 sitting in front of me with these damm wirless connectors I want to wack them off so bad! I cant look at them any longer! So this damm Core sound box is the best we can do for these things? I dont belive that will out perform my 853's with 48v or am I wrong?

depends.  Those adapters we have to use wwith the 853s cut down the power, too, but I dunno how much.  I'm thinking about just throwing on a 1/8" and picking up a mps-60X0

[Steelcorner27]

ya got a link on that mps

Anyone know if the core sound HEB batt box uses a 4 pin mini xlr like there standard box?

remember, the mps uses microdot connectors for the mics, not 1/8" or anything else

ya i think im done with all this research its giving me a headache im gust going to go with the microdot conn. (DUA6000) And one of these 3 boxes: mma6000,mps 6010,or mps630...who do you have to screw over at dpa to get them to send you some prices on this stuff? I want to be over and done with this project!

[Steelcorner27]

anyone know what the Euro conversion rate is?

Google.

don't give up so fast - soon one of us will figure out a good way to make our own power supplies for $20 a pop.
