I ordered from someone else and guess what? Yep, wrong item and they were upset. I have never had a problem with B&H and all my photography and audio needs come only from B%H. Thank you

Handy accessory for the Zoom H4N

By Sean
Rated 4 out of 5

I still have the Zoom H4N audio recorder, which has been around a lot longer than the newer H6, but has long been a popular audio tool for DSLR filmmakers. The one downside was always there is only one headphone output and no way of feeding reference audio directly to a camera. This solves that problem by allowing you to feed a mic-level signal to your camera while also simultaneously monitoring on headphones. I do with the cable was a bit longer, because I like to clamp my audio recorder to a tripod leg. Another good use scenario is if you have a sound recordist booming a mic on set, they can use this cable to monitor the signal and plug the mic output into a wireless beltpack transmitter to send a reference audio signal back to the camera.

This attenuator cable is -25 dB. Other cables are -35dB. What cable is more suitable for Tascam DR40, DR40X ?
Asked by: Michael
If using this to connect a DR40 into a camera, the -25db cable would be fine to ensure a strong enough level into the preamp of the camera while not overloading it.

question

Does this work with a Panasonic GH3?
Asked by: Efrem
So long as the camera has a 3.5 mm input this will do its job. From memory some of the earlier gh line have 2.5 mm but that may be the gh2. either way you can pick up a 2.5 to 3.5 mm for a few dollars here or anywhere that sells audio cables. this cable simply reduces the line out from a recorder and turns it to a mic level. It works well and allows much better control and quality in your camera, i use it almost daily doing real estate videos.

question

Will this work to connect my Canon t4i to my Zoom H1? Need to be sure.
Asked by: Anonymous
I use it to record audio from a zoom h4 straight into the memory card of a Canon 70D. The audio quality is better than what I get from the camera but not as good as the one I get from the zoom h4.

question

I would like to connect the audio output of the headphone jack of my JVC HM750 video camera into my GoPro camera. Is this the proper Headphone Tap Cable to do so or would you recommend another type of Headphone Tap Cable sold by B&H?
Asked by: Bill G.
Hi, I believe that this would work to pass a mic-level signal to your GoPro. I have never used it for that purpose, but I think it would work.
