Re: Connector, cables, attenuation

I used to do this, it worked well. Do you need to pass the plug-in-
power? if not simply stand off the recorder PIP with a couple of 10uF
caps positive to the  recorder, and use something like a 4.7k resistor
from the Lto the R with a 470R to ground.

The lowered channel can get noisy if you use much higher resistors.

If you do need to pass the PiP you have to mess with capacitors in one
leg, and you low-frequency response is usually worse on the attenuated
side. Not always a bad thing as wind buffeting was one of the things
that sent my recording over the top, but can be difficult to patch in
seamlessly
