Professional Field Recording Power Cable

The Remote Audio HIQHIRV2 is an 18-inch DC power cable built for professional field recording and production environments. It connects a Hi-Q portable battery to compatible audio recorders using a 4-pin Hirose connector on one end and a Hi-Q battery cup on the other. This accessory targets audio engineers and video professionals who require reliable, uninterrupted power during sessions.

Secure Connection for Continuous Operation

The cable uses an industry-standard 4-pin Hirose DC power connector known for durability and a secure locking connection that resists accidental disconnection. The Hi-Q battery cup at the opposite end ensures an efficient link to the power source. Together, these terminations maintain a stable power supply to the recorder throughout a project without signal interruption.

Integrates with Common Recorder Models

This cable links Hi-Q batteries to units such as the Sonosax SX-R4+, Sound Devices 668, MixPre-10T, Zoom F4, and F8. The 18-inch length allows flexible placement of the battery pack relative to the recorder in a bag or on a cart. It is not suited for devices lacking a 4-pin Hirose DC input or for powering equipment requiring a different connector standard.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the 18" cable between my recorder and a Hi-Q battery?

Plug the 4-pin Hirose connector into the recorder's DC input and snap the Hi-Q battery cup onto a compatible Hi-Q portable battery; the keyed Hirose plug prevents reverse insertion, which is the step most often missed.

What part of this cable is most likely to need replacement after heavy field use?

The Hirose connector's locking collar and the battery-cup spring contacts wear first; inspect both for looseness or corrosion after every few shoots and replace the cable if the lock no longer clicks home.

At what current draw does voltage drop across the 18" length become noticeable on a Sound Devices 668?

With typical recorder loads under 10 W the drop stays negligible; sustained draws above that level will show measurable sag at the Hirose end first.
