DPA Microphones unveils MicroLock, its new compact microphone connector, which builds on the strengths of the MicroDot connector currently deployed with the brand’s microphones. MicroLock has a newly developed locking mechanism and compact design compatible with a variety of wireless systems. The new microphone connector is designed for flexibility, reliability and durability. MicroLock will be showcased at The 2025 NAMM Show (Booth 18206) and ISE 2025 (Stand 7P600).
“Innovation and advancements in materials and miniaturization, coupled with valuable market feedback, have enabled us to develop MicroLock,” says 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.”
MicroLock features a new locking mechanism, designed for a quick and secure connection as an extra layer of protection against accidental disconnection during use.
It also is designed for a longer lifespan due to the upgraded materials and construction. The connector has a more robust, solid metal body, while the improved electrical is designed for enhanced stability and reliability of the signal.
“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,” the announcement concludes.
DPA will introduce the MicroLock connector first with its omnidirectional miniature microphones and passive adapters, followed by the cardioid variants. The company will also update its active connectors, cables and associated options.
MicroLock is fully backwards compatible with existing MicroDot solutions.
