Broadcast Host™ Analog Desktop Digital Hybrid

1. Will the digital hybrid provide phantom power for a

condenser mic?

No, this device will not provide phantom power. If you connect a microphone

directly to the Broadcast Host, you should use a dynamic mic.

2. What happens if someone takes a second phone o󰀨-hook

when the Broadcast Host is on a call?

Broadcast Host will treat the other local voice the same as the caller. It will

attempt to keep transmit audio from returning back with the caller’s audio, but

this becomes more di󰀩cult with this scenario. The local voice will certainly

sound much louder than the distant caller’s voice.

3. Why is there a Send 2 mini-jack on the back of my

Broadcast Host?

This is a second line level input to the Broadcast Host. Here you can connect

another device, such as a CD player, the Line Out from your computer

or even the output of your personal audio player, to add audio to the

conversation. This enables you to play background music or other sound

bites during your discussion. Do not connect a microphone to this jack. This

is a mono input. If you connect a stereo output here, such as a computer line

out, you will only receive Left channel audio.

4. How do I record onto my computer and edit the les?

You will need to purchase or download any audio editing software of your

choice. You may also need to edit the audio conguration les on your

computer or in your software to allow recording in stereo. Broadcast Host just

enables you to access the audio from your phone line.

5. Why does my laptop only record half of the conversation? I

am using the Stereo output on the Broadcast Host and I have

a stereo cable.

Most laptop computers only have a mic input, which is mono. You will need to

either get a sound card with a stereo line level input for your laptop or use a

USB or FireWire interface product.

6. Why does my laptop / tablet not receive audio from the

Broadcast Host for recording?

Many newer laptops / tablets only have a TRRS headset jack. If you want

to record 2 track stereo audio, you will need to either get a sound card

with a stereo line level input for your laptop or use a USB or FireWire

interface product.
