Can I run an audio cable from a headphone jack on an audio source (say a camera, or a wireless microphone receiver) into the 3.5mm jack on this Comtek transmitter and have that transmit to the receiver for someone to monitor the audio that is coming out of the source's headphone jack?
Asked by: MSE
Yes, you can take audio from a variety of sources, such as the headphone output of a camera and connect it into the transmitter's 3.5mm line input. This will allow that audio to be heard wirelessly by the person with the receiver.
