That-2 Telephone Handset Audio Tap

Connect THAT-2 between your telephone and handset for quick access to audio in and out of the telephone. The THAT-2 is used by radio stations to record and play sound bites, and by TV and film sound crews to get IFB dialog over phone lines.

Record (Line Output)

There are two output jacks on THAT-2. Both the white RCA phono jack on the front, and the male XLR jack carry the same signal. These mic level output jacks provide a mix of both sides of the conversation. In other words, whatever you send down the phone line will come back on these jacks mixed with the audio from the other side of the call. This mix ratio is not adjustable, it is a function of the telephone, not our product. As it turns out, this is a suitable mix ratio for most applications.

Play (Line Input)

There are two input jacks on THAT-2. You can use either the red RCA phono jack on the front or the female XLR jack on the back. These are line level inputs for signals that you want to send down the phone line. These jacks can be connected to an audio output such as the headphone output jack on a tape recorder, the line output of a PC audio card, or the line output from a CD player or audio mixer.
