Radio Shack calls it a signal reducer. It's a 40dB attenuator, used for
connecting line-level sources to mike input. Part # 274-300. Price 2.79.

BTW, most tape recorders, when in record mode, will output to the
speaker/headphone jack anything that comes in through the mike. So you
can use your tape recorder as a microphone. I use my micro-cassette
recorder this way. I put it in record mode, press pause (not necessary,
but it keeps the tape from moving), connect the headphone jack to the
aforementioned attenuator and plug the attenuator into the SoundBlaster
mike input. Works great. Volume is a little low, but very clean. Better,
in fact, than the 600 ohm condenser mike I bought for the same purpose.
