Title: DPA 4061 3-pin to R09 mini-jack?
Post by: moonpeeler on September 21, 2013, 01:55:54 PM
Hello,

I recently purchased 2 DPA 4061, the plugs are 3-pin as far as I can see, and I want to plug them to my Edirol R09 mini-jack.
I asked the vendor, he told me to buy 3-pin lemo adapter. I searched the web but still doesn't know for sure what's the solution.
What box can convert 2 '3-pin' to one mini-jack? I saw on this group CA-9200 or 9100 could do that, am I right?
MMA6000 too but it's a bit expensive. Are there other choices?
Anybody on this group could help me?

Thanks
Francois

The adapter isn't worth the money if this looks like what you'd need:

They list for about $90 US each.

Can you post a picture of the cable ends? One of the MPS60XX series power supplies might work, but 3-pin is a bit too vague of a description.

I couldn't find the MPS on the DPA site, it appears that it's under a bit of a makeover.

BTW, welcome to taperssection!

Thank you Genghis for your reply and welcome. Yes the adapter isn't worth it. Attached 2 photos of the cable end.

DPA's 4061 are actually 2 wire mics and are "easily" rewired to a single mini plug. I have rewired many a pair, if you are interested drop me a PM.

It looks like someone rewired his to a 3-pin Lemo connector, maybe for use with the Sennheiser wireless packs?

Can you make a poer supply so that he doesn't have to rely upon plug-in power? Those mics with a power supply are pretty much bullet proof.
