Make your own attenuation cable!! EclipseWebJS,this is for U

[nagoya1975]

Hey Thank for your nice video.

Do you know how much db this is attenuation cable do?

[CassetteMaster]

@nagoya1975 I have no idea.

[nagoya1975]

@CassetteMaster

Ok I will buy the parts today and test tomorrow. I need one attenuation for -6dbv.

But if not work for me, no problem, I will post here how much db this attenuation do.

Thanky again.

Good video CassetteMaster, thanks for the information.

eclipsewebjs can burn in hell asap.

But nice and helpful vid.

[EclipseWebJS]

My attenuation cable is starting to get worn, because it's starting to disconnect, even though all the connections are all firmly secured in their jacks...

[CassetteMaster]

The wires inside the insulation are probably fraying inside. All the twists and turns near where it goes to the jacks likely make it happen.

[ForgetfulCollector]

I've got to make one of these!

[windoes98se]

cool idea (now i know how overdrive works), do you have any ideas on how to make a amplifier to bring mic volume to lie level(

[CassetteMaster]

Just a simple 1 or 2 transistor preamp will do it.

[CassetteMaster]

It makes the signal alot more weak so it doesn't overdrive the tape recorder's MIC input.

[DrCassette]

I just built an attenuation cable, and it came out great! Thank you for these intructions!

lol

[kingneb123]

You should place a logarithmic trimmer in their so you can set the proper level.

[SuperDanny64]

That...was random.

[clydesight]

I understand the need for the 1 Meg ohm resistor in series on the hot lead, but why the 10K ohm resistor across the leads? Doesn't that actually cause a type of short circuit? Thanks for the video!

[CassetteMaster]

I guess it's for impedance. I saw the circuit design in a tape recorder manual. But it works good!

[wooferfreak]

whats that speaker at 0;05 Looks like a toa

[wooferfreak]

LoL Or DNH

[spatsbear1]

I bought an attenuating cable earlier this year, though I have yet to try it out...

So far I only have one tape recorder without an aux/line in jack I can test it on. So I will be making a video of that :)

4:38 good song hall and oats out of touch, heard in the game grand theft auto vice city, and the atten. cable makes it sound better, maybe ill make one i dunno most of my music is cds and mp3s mostly mp3s

[LoparXL]

Wow, this was really helpful! Thanks. I tried doing this using an in-line headphone volume control cable while recording from MiniDisc onto my Sony TCM-400DV's mic input and it seemed to work OK, too. However, there was some distortion; perhaps it was due to not using an actual attenuator cable or it was the Automatic Gain Control on my tape recorder?

[jasonlava]

Can you go from a headphone output to line-in, say if I wanted to directly record off of a small record record player in the computer?

[CassetteMaster]

For that I don't think you need an attenuating cable, just direct.

[jasonlava]

Thanks

ricky what brand tape is that looks like the old certrons i used to use for screwing around with

[CassetteMaster]

It seems to be no-brand, "rainbow" tape. The quality is not the greatest with this tape, the highs are not the best with this tape as some better tapes are.

[Mastercorder]

fantastic many times I have thought of putting in a AUX jack in a tape recorder the idea of a cable is oh so great also I wounderd if resistors would work ? really helpful !

[1HiFi45]

I used an old vacuum tube radio's 70 volt line transformer to adapt a speaker out put to a mic input. It works but it cuts the treble response. Yours seems to keep the sound cleaner.

[CassetteMaster]

It doesn't matter the polarity of the resistors.

[CassetteMaster]

A cable for line level to mic level for a tape recorder. ClydeSight has a video up about attenuating cables, he bought one from RadioShack.

[CassetteMaster]

That should work.

[hasan963852]

im gonna do a hate mob on you.This video is Awesome! 5/5 and faved

[AllAmericanFiveRadio]

Very good idea and a good job too.

[AllanPoyhonen]

OMG its a big difference between the cables.

The Attenuation cable give much better sound.

[ddl312]

Super Cool dude, thanks a lot , this will help me a lot with my old tape recorders. Still trying to get vids up about them!
