Q: 2. Will this allow me to connect a dynamic mic with an xlr connection to either a dji mic or rode wireless go 2? If not is there a connector that will do this for me? thanks!

A: Although this is not officially confirmed to work, it should technically be possible. Depending on the microphone, you may find the audio level to be lower than usual especially with dynamic microphones like the Shure SM58.

Q: 3. will this let me connect stereo mini headphones to optical audio output. If not, which device will let me do that?

A: The Sescom SES-DAC1 Audio Converter has TOSLink Optical S/PDIF input and RCA coaxial S/PDIF input with analog stereo RCA output. As is, you can't connect headphones, but it should work if you use a dual RCA male to 3.5mm TRS female Y-adapter like the Hosa Technology Stereo Mini (3.5mm) Female to 2 RCA Male Y-Cable (B&H # HOYCSMF2RM).

Q: 7. Can I use this to monitor live audio from the Azden SMX-30 Stereo/Mono?

Q: 8. Sescom has a h6 cable for the zoom but it looks short would it be possible to use this instead with the same quality audio?

A: This cable does not have an attenuation pad in it, so you would not get the same quality audio. You can use a standard 3.5mm to 3.5mm extension cable with the H6 cable if you need extra length.

Q: 9. what power does the dtap port have? can I connect 12v accessories there while using 26v batteries for example for a alexa35?

A: The D-Tap power on the IndiPRO Tools Dual Battery Adapter Plate with 4-Pin XLR Output & Locking Clamp (V-Mount) is produced by the batteries not the plate. The power question will need to be directed at the battery's manufacturer.

Q: 10. Does this cable preserves the balanced signals from an XLR mic into the 3.5" TSR connection in a DSLR? I need a cable that provides better RFI protection.

A: The 3.5mm TRS input on a DSLR camera (or recorder) is unbalanced, so the Sescom SES-CAMCORD-MIC DSLR Adapter Cable is sending a balanced signal into an unbalanced input. The cable is designed to be high quality, but the manufacturer has not provided specifications regarding the type of shielding that is used or the details for signal to noise ratio. It should do a good job of sending a clean signal into the camera and avoiding RFI.
