Using the DPA adapters and extension cables
The DPA 4098H microphone is terminated with a MicroDot connector. Connect
the microphone output to adapter or extension cable by moving the protection cap,
then secure the MicroDot and reposition the protection cap:
When used in conjunction with our range of more than 35 adapters, the Micro-
Dot connector provides the ability to connect to virtually all available pro wireless
systems.
Various wireless systems require the use of electronics inside the adapter to opti-
mize the signal level, the DC offset, and powering of the built-in microphone pre-
amplifier. Using the adapters from DPA ensures the correct electronic circuit with
the listed types of wireless systems (please visit www.dpamicrophones.com/adapters).
Do not attempt to employ non-standard adapters or connectors as you might dam-
age the microphone.
A connector-tightening tool is supplied with each microphone and adapter and
should be employed whenever the MicroDot connector needs to be tightened.
Utilize the tightening tool before each use to ensure the connection is secure and
that the cable cannot rotate by the cable relief.
The included XLR adapter, DAD6001, allows the 4098H to work as a regular 48V
phantom powered microphone. For stand mounting, attach the microphone to the
DAD6001 and use the UA0639 Microphone Clip. For hanging, the DAD6001 adds
weight and helps stabilize the microphone.
The microphone can also be hung with a miniature extension cable (not included)
for minimal visual appearance.
