Recording a phone
You can connect a phone to Vocaster Two
record a conversation, or to record music
from the phone.
The rear panel has a phone connector,
marked . This is a 3.5 mm TRRS jack
socket, use a 3.5mm TRRS jack cable
to connect to the phone’s headphone
socket, which is normally a 3.5 mm TRRS
socket.
A 3.5mm TRS cable will work, but you
may not get two-way communication with
your phone guest.
If the phone does not have a 3.5 mm
headphone port, you can use a 3.5 mm
TRRS headphone adaptor.
The connector also feeds Vocaster
Two’s output back to the phone so the
person on the phone call can hear the
whole podcast mix, but without their own
voice. This type of mix is known as ‘mix-
minus’: it ensures the caller will not hear
their voice delayed or with echoes.
The signal level to the phone depends on
the setting of the input channel sliders in
Vocaster Hub
’s mixer. The signal fed to
the phone is a mono version of the stereo
mix, because the phone’s input is a mono
microphone.
