THAT-2™
Telephone Handset Audio Tap
Tap your phone with XLR Jacks.
Connect the
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 lm sound crews to get IFB and dialog
over phone lines.
The THAT-2 is the big brother of our model THAT-1,
which is very popular with news reporters for its small yet
rugged design. Over the years we’ve heard from many
of our customers that they liked the THAT-1 but would
prefer professional XLR jacks and compatibility with more
telephone systems. Here is our answer... The THAT-2, a
passive handset interface with professional and consumer
jacks, separate input and output volume control, a
selector switch for the different types of telephone
systems, and still no batteries or AC needed!
Record and Play Audio Clips. Simply unplug the
handset coily cord from the base of your telephone and
plug it directly into the THAT-2. Then, using the supplied
cable, connect the THAT-2 back to the telephone.
Now connect your audio equipment to the RCA or XLR
jacks. The gray pushbutton selects which audio will be
sent into the telephone (OUT = talking on the handset,
IN = sending audio in through the RCA or XLR jacks). The
output jacks contain a nice mix of audio from both sides
of the conversation as well as the tones being pressed on
the telephone keypad.
Phone Compatibility. The THAT-2 has a three-
position switch which accommodates electret, dynamic,
and carbon telephone handset microphone types. The
THAT-2 will emulate the type of microphone that is
in the handset and allow you send audio into many
different types of analog and digital PBX sets, as well
as ISDN telephones. The THAT-2 does not work with
cellular telephones or any telephone with a keypad in the
handset.
