What adapter to get this TA4F to MXLR?

What adapter to get this TA4F to MXLR?
Asked by: Brian
This mic is specifically wired for wireless transmitter that uses a TA4 connection, and provides plug- in power at about 5 volts. In order to connect it to a XLR, you would also need an adapter that can convert plug in power to accept 48-volt phantom power from an XLR source. Voice Technologies VT1126 48V Phantom Power Adapter for Wireless Lavalier Microphones (TA4 to XLR), BH #VOVT0137 would be an appropriate adapter for this purpose.

Hi, DPA only sells a Microdot to XLR adapter. ...

Hi, DPA only sells a Microdot to XLR adapter. What adapter would be compatible with this TA4F connector? I read on the DAD6001-BC XLR adapter Review page that the adapter is designed to work with the DPA Micro dot only, so I'm assuming the reverse would be true regarding the TA4F. thank you.
