Introducing the Inline Patch™
This unique hybrid works with your telephone to give you more control over
interview recording and playback.
The Inline Patch connects between the base of an analog or cordless telephone
and the wall jack. You can continue to talk on the phone and get access to audio
on both sides of the call. The unit’s two back-to-back hybrids give you complete
control of audio from both sides of the call. Audio input jacks let you mix sound
bytes or music into your conversation. One stereo output jack provides your voice
on one channel and the phone line audio on the other channel. A second output
jack contains a mix of both voices. Front panel control for each output offers all
the control you will need. The Inline Patch does not disrupt your Caller ID or ring
signals.
For telecom demo or teleconference presentations, you can use a cordless
telephone. Walk around the room and talk over the phone while everyone listens
in. Let the audience try your IVR application. The <Off Hook/Normal> switch lets
you seize a phone line without using a telephone. This switch can be remote-
controlled with a simple contact closure.
The Inline Patch is also perfect for television or cable talk show use, when you
may need access to audio from a working telephone on camera.
