Connect a miniature microphone
The Superlux PS418S connects a compatible miniature condenser microphone to a mixer, audio interface or other equipment with an XLR microphone input. It provides the microphone capsule with suitable operating conditions using power from the receiving equipment. Place it between the miniature microphone lead and the standard microphone cable.
TA3M input and XLR output
The input is a three-pin TA3M connector, also described as male mini-XLR. It accepts the matching TA3F connector from a compatible microphone. A full-size three-pin male XLR provides the output connection. Check the microphone’s electrical requirements and wiring as well as its connector shape before selecting an adapter.
Phantom-powered operation
The PS418S requires an external phantom supply and can operate from a standard 48 V source on a mixer or audio interface. Power reaches the adapter through its XLR connection. Turn phantom power off and mute the channel before changing connections, then set the recording level on the receiving equipment.
Construction and compatibility
A cylindrical metal housing makes the adapter straightforward to place in a wired microphone setup. Superlux specifies it for compatible versions of miniature microphone families including PRA383, E308, PRA30 and WU518. The exact connector and wiring determine suitability. This is a separate adapter; choose the microphone, connecting cable and phantom-powered equipment for the intended setup.
