The Sescom Blackmagic Cinema Camera to Audio Field Recorder Cable with Headphone Tap enables you to record identical audio to both your Blackmagic Cinema Camera and your field audio recorder as well as monitor that signal via the 3.5mm headphone jack. The adapter is also compatible with the Blackmagic Production Camera 4K.

The Blackmagic Cinema Camera was not intended as an ideal platform for recording pristine audio. During production, you can monitor the audio output from your recorder using the integrated headphone jack without disturbing the scratch audio feed to your camera. Because the cable uses a 3.5mm plug for input, it can connect to almost any field audio recorder with a line or headphone output.

Q: 4. Hi, i've got a switronix pro x 70 14.8v 5.2Ah with the power base gp-dv-bmcc, but the power base died. Is this cable will allow me to connect the battery itself directly to the bmcc ? (No powerbase, or plate.. ) thanks !

Q: 6. Can I use this cable to connect my H4N Zoom directly into my Panasonic GH4 and have the audio sync with video? Also will the headphone connection monitor the audio of the zoom or the camera? Thanks!

A: That's pretty much what it is designed to do. It takes the headphone level output from the headphone jack of your H4N and splits it into two ends, one mic-level output (male 3.5mm) that you can plug into your camera and one headphone-level output (female 3.5mm) that you can plug in headphones to monitor. BTW, my next suggestion is not what you asked about or how the product was designed, but I prefer to have a separate sound operator who records the sound on my Zoom H4N and transmits the mic level signal over a wireless pack to my camera. In this scenario, my sound operator uses this cable to monitor on headphones from the Zoom H4N while also plugged into a lav mic transmitter.

Q: 7. This attenuator cable is -25 dB. Other cables are -35dB. What cable is more suitable for Tascam DR40, 40X ?

A: The LN2MIC-ZMGH-MON from Sescom is compatible with the GH3 and most other DSLR cameras that feature a 3.5mm mic input jack.

Q: 9. 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: 10. Will this work with Blackmagic Production 4k camera?

A: Yes, this cable is compatible with the Blackmagic Cinema Camera 4K.
