I am trying to record pilot/pax audio while videoing flights. It is my understanding that you need to use an attenuating audio chord if you take the audio off of the pax headset jack.
I have an adapter I got from Marv Golden that allows me to plug into the pax headset jack and then into my video camera. It also has a y adapter to allow the pax to plug his/her headset in. The plug that goes into the camera is stereo. When I use this setup, I get slightly distorted audio, thus the need for the attenuating chord.
So off to Radio Shack I go and I can only find a mono attenuating chord. My plan is to use a stereo/mono connector to connect the stereo plug from the Marv Golden rig into the mono attenuating chord. Then use a mono to stereo adapter to plug into the camera.
Tests with the above have proven unsuccessful. No audio at all. On testing the attenuating chord, I am getting continunity between the center post and side connector. Is this right for an attenuating chord?? Seems wrong to me.
Any help from the audiophyles out there would be appreciated.
