Stuff a mike inside your headset.

Help!

I tried recording the Nav/Com audio to my Sony camcorder in a c172. The
gain
is so high it just sounds like saturated noise. I basically wired from the
co-pilot's headset jack a cable to the sony 'mic in' jack. Has anyone here
successfully recorded a flight with clean audio, and if so, how ?

Thanks,

You might consider padding the connection with a 300 ohm resistor (Radio
Shack used to sell a padded inline mini jack cable), or simply turn down
the intercom volume and adjust your headset to full volume. I use a
portable MP3 recorder and no padding was required...

The cable above will require an adapter for plugging into a headphone
jack, if you don't have a Record Out one...

Intercom volume has no bearing on the radio volume. They should be
wired up to be separate. The basic rule of thumb is to have the headset
volume turned up all the way, then adjust the radio volume knob and the
intercom volume to suit.
