The D-Tap to 4-Pin Hirose Cable enables powering the Sound Devices products from a D-Tap connector commonly found on professional-style batteries or on Gold mount and V-mount battery plates. This features an D-Tap plug on one end and a 4-pin Hirose male plug on the other. This coiled factor of the cable provides the flexibility to run the cable from one end of your rig to the other, while also letting you keep a neat connection if your power source is close to the camera.
