Overview
YPA MicroLock adapters are our latest generation of ultra-reliable, compact connectors designed to match and replace legacy DPA MicroDot adapters such as DAD9001 and others. With robust locking mechanisms, precise pin configurations, and professional-grade materials, the MicroLock series ensures high-fidelity audio transmission for today's demanding wireless systems.
The adapter is functional at 12V, but requires 48V for the connected mic to reach full specifications. The active-signal balanced wiring allows for longer cable runs with less noise—that is better than 60 dB in the 50 Hz to 15 kHz range.
