DPA Microphones has unveiled MicroLock, its new compact microphone connector, which builds on the strengths of the renowned MicroDot connector currently deployed with the brand’s microphones. MicroLock features a newly developed locking mechanism and compact design compatible with a variety of wireless systems.
“Innovation and advancements in materials and miniaturization, coupled with valuable market feedback, have enabled us to develop MicroLock,” said Helga Volha Somava, Product Management Director, DPA Microphones. “This new connector embodies DPA’s commitment to superior performance, providing an uncompromising solution for those who demand the best from their audio technology. Additionally, the brand’s flexible, broad adapter portfolio represents a secure investment, making it easier to switch to a new wireless system without having to replace microphones.”
Key features of MicroLock include:
- Enhanced Locking Mechanism: Offers a quick, easy, and secure connection with added protection against accidental disconnection.
- Robust Construction: Features a solid metal body and upgraded materials for a longer lifespan and increased durability.
- Improved Electrical Design: Provides enhanced stability and reliability of the signal.
- Backwards Compatibility: Fully compatible with existing MicroDot solutions, ensuring seamless integration.
DPA says AV rental companies will appreciate the immediate advantages of MicroLock, as it allows them to rent out the same microphone fleet across the various wireless systems they have in stock. MicroLock will initially be introduced with DPA’s omnidirectional miniature microphones and passive adapters, followed by the cardioid variants. The company will also update its active connectors, cables, and associated options.
