AKG PAEM - Phantom Adapter - 3 Pin XLR

AKG PAEM - 3-pin XLR phantom adapter for DAM+ and HM1000 M modules (switchable high-pass filter)

The AKG PAE M is a reference-quality phantom power adapter with a gold-plated 3-pin male XLR connector, designed to integrate AKG’s DAM+ modular microphone system into fixed and mobile installations. Its wide 9–52 V phantom power range makes it compatible with most mixers and preamps, while the switchable high-pass filter (≈ 150 Hz) helps reduce structure-borne noise, music stand slamming, and proximity noise. It incorporates the DAM+ series system connector with gold-plated contacts for securely attaching goosenecks (GN15 M, GN30 M, GN50 M) and the HM1000 M pendant module , offering a robust and quick-mount solution for podiums, lecture halls, theaters, and houses of worship . The electronics include RFi Shield for high immunity to interference and maintains an audio bandwidth of 20 Hz–20 kHz with impedance < 600 Ω , ensuring a clean and professional signal flow.

Main features

• Flexible power supply: Operates on 9–52 V phantom power (≈ 3.5 mA ), compatible with most XLR inputs on mixers and interfaces.
• Switchable high-pass filter: cutoff at ≈ 150 Hz to mitigate handling and structure-borne noise.
• DAM+ system connector: secure coupling with GN15 M / GN30 M / GN50 M and HM1000 M ; gold-plated contacts.
• RF Protection: RFi Shield technology for high immunity to radio frequency interference.
• Transparent Audio: 20 Hz–20 kHz bandwidth, 3-pin XLR balanced output (< 600 Ω ), recommended load > 2 kΩ .
• Compact construction: cylindrical body of Ø 19.1 mm × 65.5 mm and 43 g , suitable for tabletop, music stand or mounting on a stand.

Product benefits

• Instant integration: Converts DAM+ and HM1000 M modules into standard balanced XLR outputs ready for any professional system.
• Less noise on the podium: The 150 Hz HPF filter reduces furniture vibrations and footsteps without affecting intelligibility.
• Long-term reliability: Gold-plated contacts and RFi Shield reduce false contacts and hum in harsh environments.
• Wide compatibility: Works with common phantom power found in studios, auditoriums, and conference rooms.

Use cases

• Conferences and corporate: DAM+ lectern microphones with direct XLR connection to the conference table.
• Temples and education: clean installation of pulpits and podiums, with structural noise control.
• Theater and events: HM1000 M phantom-powered pendant modules, ready for ceiling-mounted voice pickup.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What modules is it compatible with? DAM+ goosenecks (GN15 M, GN30 M, GN50 M) and the HM1000 M pendant; powers DAM+/DAM capsules (e.g., CK41/CK43/CK49).
• Do I need an external power supply? No. It is powered from the mixer/interface's 9–52 V phantom power XLR input.
• Can the filter be disabled? Yes, the high-pass filter at ~150 Hz is switchable .
