Output jack and headphone jack interchangeable?
Some wireless lapel receivers, especially those for DSLRs, have an output jack and a headphone jack. Are they interchangeable? Were they just split from the same source? Thanks!

The HP output has a HP amplifier with a variable gain control in the circuit to drive the HP’s to full level, the output jack does not as it’s most likely going into another stage of line amplification.

Thanks Eric! Is this related to why the output jack on my receiver is weaker than the HP jack? I was tempted to just use the HP jack to connect to my mixer because it’s louder but I’m not sure if it’s good practice.

Yes that’s the reason. While the HP output will work for a line output you have to be careful of accidently changing it’s output level with the HP volume control. I would adjust (gain stage) the line out to the next input by adjusting it’s input level.
