DPA will charge about $75 per mic to change the lemo connectors to microdot connectors, and then you could use the adapters - part number DAD6001.

mma6000 is about $450, and has only microdot inputs.



edit - no, lemo connectors are not the same as microdots.  Microdot connectors look similar to a tiny coax cable connector (like the one that screws onto your television or cable box).
