Overview Introducing THAT-2 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.

Setup Getting Connected THAT-2 connects between the handset and the base of your telephone. Follow these simple steps: 1. Unplug the modular handset cord from your telephone base. 2. Using the black handset jumper cord that we have provided, connect the Telephone jack of THAT-2 to the handset jack on your telephone base. 3. Plug your handset cord, and handset, into the Handset jack on THAT-2. 4. Connect your audio equipment to the line input and output jacks on THAT-2.
Operation Handset Type Switch The three position switch on the front of THAT-2 selects the type of microphone that is in the handset of your telephone. When you push the Line In button in, THAT-2 replaces the handset microphone signal with a circuit that must match the characteristics of the handset microphone.
Operation Handset/ Line In Button The Handset / Line In button selects which signal will be sent down the phone line; the handset microphone, or the line input jack. Position: Out Use the handset to speak and listen as you normally would. The sound that you hear on the handset is always available on the From Phone output jack. Position: In The handset mic is disconnected and the line input is connected to send audio signals down the line.
FAQs How do I use a microphone with the THAT-2? THAT-2 needs a Line level signal to send audio down the phone line. You will either have to use a microphone pre-amplifier or a mic mixer. When I try to send audio down the line it won’t work. Firstly, you must send a line level signal into the Line Input jack on THAT-2. Secondly, make sure the gray button is in the In position. This disables the handset mic and enables the audio input. Thirdly, check the Handset Type ABC switch.
FAQs What is the gray pushbutton on THAT-2 used for? The button is used to select which audio signal will be sent into the telephone. Out: In: Handset Audio Line Input Keep in mind that you cannot send audio into the Line Input XLR/RCA jack and talk on the handset at the same time. However, any audio sent into the phone can be heard on the handset and is available on the XLR/RCA From Phone output jack at all times. I have everything connected correctly.
