JK Audio THAT-2 Telephone Handset Audio Tap

With XLR and RCA line jacks and a switch for carbon, dynamic, or electret handset mics, the JK Audio THAT-2 taps a telephone call between the phone and its handset.

Radio stations use it to record and play sound bites, and TV and film sound crews use it to get IFB dialog over phone lines.

Unplug the handset’s coiled cord from the phone base, plug it into the THAT-2, and connect the THAT-2 back to the phone with the supplied cable. The outputs carry a mix of both sides of the conversation plus the keypad tones. Input and output level controls set the level of each. A gray pushbutton chooses what goes into the call: out for talking on the handset, in for sending audio from the line input.

The handset switch matches the type of mic in the handset, so the THAT-2 can send audio into many analog and digital PBX phones and ISDN telephones. It does not work with cordless or cell phones, or with phones that have the keypad in the handset. The design is passive, so it needs no batteries or AC power.
