- I need to connect a dead (i.e., not connected to a line) telephone
- into an audio system (via a mixing console) for a play I'm doing sound
- design on. Unfortunately, I'm not as knowledgeable about telphony as
- I would like to be, although I've done some hacking on phones
- connected to a line before. I previously connected a live phone into
- an audio setup at home, but I'm not sure how to go about it without
- having the line attached. I read something once regarding small
- intercom systems using telephones which said something about putting
- 9VDC through one of the wires, but I don't even remember which wire it
- was supposed to be.
-
- What I need to know is:
-
- 1) What do I need to do to power the phone?
- 2) What effect will this have on the rest of the system?
-
- In case it's relevant, the idea is to use the telephone as both prop
- and mic on the stage, feeding the mic input into a mixer channel to be
- sent out to four to six house speakers, along (of course) with signals
- from other audio components. Would this require changes to the signal
- strength from the phone, or is it a standard mic level?
-
- Thanks for any help. Post or E-Mail replies; I'll post a summary if
- it's wanted.
