Frequently asked questions
Which microphone types do these work with?
The MPA V L is designed for L-type AKG MicroMic microphones (wired). The MDA1 works with AKG MICROLITE microphones (wireless) and connects them to AKG bodypack transmitters. They serve completely different microphone systems.
Do I need both of these?
No. You need the MPA V L only if you use wired L-type MicroMic mics that require phantom power. You need the MDA1 only if you use wireless MICROLITE mics with a bodypack transmitter. They are not compatible with each other.
What is the bass roll-off switch on the MPA V L?
It is an integrated low-frequency filter that lets you reduce rumble and handling noise in real time without needing external gear. The MDA1 has no such feature because it is a passive connector only.
Can the MDA1 supply phantom power?
No. The MDA1 is a passive connector that transfers audio from a MICROLITE microphone to a wireless bodypack transmitter. It does not supply or process power. The MPA V L is the product that supplies phantom power.
