Perfect Level

I needed to step line level out of a mixer into a mic input because of consumer gear in the setup. After researching db difference between line and mic standards and looking at switchable and static attenuators I ended up picking this one for the name brand and 50db. The step down was spot on, I had all my levels at unity and appropriate gain.

It works

It's a plug and play device we use to record in-air cockpit conversation for videos. All I know is that it works with everything from tiny voice recorders to more expensive cameras. Without it you'll get blasting, unintelligible cockpit conversations. It works.

What is the appropriate connector to go from this to the 3.5mm mic input of my Cannon vixia g50?
Asked by: David
To connect the output from the Shure A15LA Line Adapter to the mic input on a Canon Vixia HF G50 Camcorder, you will need a cable with XLR 3-pin female and 3.5mm TRS male connectors like the Kopul XRSM 3-Pin XLR Female to 3.5mm RA Stereo Mini-Plug Cable - 1.5' (B&H # KOXRSM015B) or any similar cable with these connectors in the length you prefer.
