Title: DPA 4061 questions
Post by: it-goes-to-eleven on June 06, 2005, 10:55:24 AM

I snagged a pair of DPA 4061's on ebay last week. They should be here in a few days.  I scanned the archives pretty heavily for info on adapting these mics but didn't come up with much specific info.

I'd like to test the mics before I cut the LEMO connectors off. Any advice? I'm wondering if I can grab the pins with female pin connectors (like from an RS-232) and rig something temporary up to plug into a sound pro batbox.

From what I gather, the sound pro bbox is a good solution.  I'm leaning towards getting a new one with the bass rolloff and level adjustment (which is what I currently use with SP-CMC-8's).  Any strong feelings on not getting those two options or going a different bbox route?

I am Not a miniplug fan.  Any suggestions for alternatives would be appreciated.  Things I have considered:

Single 5 pin mini-XLR
Miniplug on short pigtail (could be taped in place).
Using LEMO sockets


Thanks!

I use the DPA battery box (w/XLR out's) and had it modded to take the 3pin Lemo which are the same ones that are on your mics.
I had it modded right here in Toronto from a place that sells DPA products.
If you have a DPA batt box and are interested let me know and I'll give you their contact info.   :)
