Sescom LN2MIC-ZOOMH4N 3.5mm Line to Mic 25dB Att. 9 Inch DSLR Cable for Zoom H4N and Zoom H1 Sescom 3.5mm Line to Mic with 25dB Attenuation 9 Inch DSLR Cable for Zoom H4N and Zoom H1 New specialty cable products that solve interface problems with todays Canon, Nikon, Pentax and Panasonic DSLR setups. Many professional DSLR cameras have unbalanced stereo mic level audio inputs on a mini TRS 3.5mm jack. Manufacturers do this to save valuable space in the camera interface. With the age of professional pocket recorders that can produce very high quality sound, such as the the Sony PCMD50 or a Samson Zoom H4N, came devices that output different line level audio signals. To avoid using klunky XLR type attenuators that can produce heavy strain on the cameras mic input connector, these little cables will provide the proper mic levels and preserve the delicate connector contacts inside your expensive camera. This cable features a -25dB L Pad attenuator on both audio channels to reduce the Prosumer Line Level output (-10dBV) to the cameras mic input sweet spot level. The cable is designed with the proper impedances to assure maximum voltage transfer and low noise operation. The cable shield is isolated on the camera end to prevent shield noise from directly coupling into the camera connector ground. The cable allows users to go directly from the audio recorder into the camera, creating a compact and elegant interface solution. All resistors values are 1% metal film to assure similar voltage attenuation between the stereo inputs. Cable ends are labeled for proper connection. Specifications Audio Input Level: -10dBV (0.25pp - 0.47pp) Prosumer Line Level Input Impedance: 1.5K ohms Audio Output Level: Approx. 14mV Output Impedance: 92 ohms Compatibile with the following DSLR cameras: Canon: EOS 5D Mark II, EOS 7D, EOS 550D Rebel T2i, EOS 60D, EOS 600D Rebel T3i Nikon: D7000, D300S
