Connect Your Phone To Your Mixing Board!, By george, I think I've got it! Options

[Kurt_eh]

After doing some experimenting the other night, I was actually able to call out (and receive) over my land-line and cell phone!

I was listening via my monitor headphones, and talking through my mic, all through my mixing board.

The trick is, you'll need a phone with a 2.5mm stereo jack for connecting a headset.

It turns out that, on the stereo jack, the left channel is the mic, and the right channel is the speaker.

So, all you need is a 2.5 to 3.5 mm adapter (stereo), and then a 3.5 mm to stereo L&R either 1/4" or RCA coupler! (Or mix and match). The key is to make sure you pan each channel 100% Left and Right, respectively.

You'll only hear your guest in one year, but it beats trying to record with skype!

Here's a couple of pictures I shot of the setup, and the individual components.







I hope it's helpful.
