DPA Adapter: MicroLock to 3-pin XLR - DAD9001

The DAD9001 is designed specifically for DPA miniature microphones that utilize the MicroLock connector system.

No, the DAD9001 draws its power from the P48 phantom power supplied by your mixer, audio interface, or microphone preamplifier via the 3-pin XLR connection.

It features updated circuitry designed to offer better protection against radio frequency interference, particularly from modern LED lighting and other high-frequency electronic devices that can impact audio quality.

The adapter itself connects via XLR to wired systems. However, its 'interchangeable adapter concept' means you can disconnect the DAD9001 from a wired setup and connect it to a compatible wireless system's transmitter (if it uses the MicroLock connector), allowing you to use the same DPA microphone with different wireless transmitters.

The belt clip allows for easy and secure attachment of the adapter to clothing or equipment, keeping it in place and reducing strain on the microphone cable during use.

The DAD9001 supports CORE+ performance when used with compatible DPA microphones. CORE+ refers to the microphone's internal technology, which the adapter helps to leverage effectively.

Verify that P48 phantom power is enabled on your mixer or interface. Check that all cable connections are secure at both the microphone, adapter, and mixer. Ensure the microphone is properly connected to the adapter's MicroLock input.

Ensure the adapter is properly grounded. Try a different XLR cable. If using in an environment with strong RF sources, ensure all connections are tight and consider relocating the microphone or adapter if possible. The DAD9001 has enhanced RF resistance, but extreme sources may still pose a challenge.

Inspect the MicroLock and XLR connectors for any dirt or damage. Test with a different XLR cable. If the issue persists, the microphone or the adapter may require service.
