I am wanting to connect a tape recorder that has only MIC input to a device that has AUX or earphone or speaker level outputs. What I need is some level of attenuation. I have not worked with these before so I don't know what the typical levels and impedances are. Does anyone know this and/or have good working circuits for apply the proper attenuation? Are there any other things that need to be done besides just attenuation? The recorder I have is a Sony TCM-38V. The instructions recommend using special connector cords for recording from various sources. For dubbing between 2 cassette units they recommend model RK-G64. The same is also recommended for recording from a radio or TV equipped with an earphone jack. The RK-G69 is recommended for recoding from a radio or TV equipped with a recording jack. I suspect what I need to do is reproduce these cords unless some wonderful dealer happens to stock these possibly rare items. (Maybe RS? Nah!)

(Maybe RS? Nah!) Well, maybe RS is the place. A few years ago they did have a cable made especially for that purpose. It had built in attenuation so that you could take a high level signal and feed it into a mike input. -- Bill Vermillion - UUCP: uunet!tarpit!bilver!bill : bill@bilver.UUCP

I have not looked for such a connector recently, but a few years ago Radio Shack sold such a connector. They came in packages of two, and accepted an RCA jack, and the out was a MIC jack (1/8", I think). I cannot remember off hand, but I believe the attenuation level was about 22 dB. C. A.
