I you use an recording device without plug in power always the Adapter A 3 is needed. You will find this information in the description of your recorder.
On all recorders providing plug in power the OKM microphones can be used without A 3 adapter (Solo -Version): Due of higher power supply and others the Adapter is recommende for some applications (look into the cheme above).
