Kephren,

Yes, you can hook a microphone directly up to the broadcast host and it will send that audio down the line to them.

If you would like to set up a free 15 minute equipment consultation, please click this link to see my available schedule and to book a time for us to talk further.

Note: the program will make you choose at least a 30 minute block of time. Just go ahead and choose a 30 minute spot that works for you.

Hello cliff,

We would like to use this kind of system for our conferencing room.
We would like to be able to send participant’s voice from our room through the phone line. We’re planning to have microphone connected to a mixer, and then routing their voice through the phone line.
In the meantime, we would like to hear the caller’s voice in our room (with speakers) like if he was on the phone speaker.
Could this JK audio do the trick ? Everyone seems to get sound from the caller but there are not more information about sending audio over the phone.

Thanks !

Brad,

I chose the Broadcast Host based upon price. I purchased this gear when I was still podcasting as a hobby and had very little money set aside in the budget for audio gear.

Today, I do sell the Telos One as well. However, to this day, when I talk to my clients about the features and the price, everyone has chosen to go with the JK Audio equipment.

Cliff,
Why did you decide on the JK Audio Broadcast Host and not the Telos One? The Telos One is about US$100 – US$150 more but it has the digital processing that the Broadcast Host doesn’t. I’d love to hear your thoughts.

I want to build a simple recording studio in my home for non-profit based talk show I will be hosting. I have ordered large diaphram condensor microphones (2), Pro Tools M-Powered software and M-Audio Track Pro Audio Interface. An important part of the show will be pre-arranged phone interviews. I was looking to purchase the JK Audio Broadcast Host for this purchase, unless you can recommend an alternate (cost effective) application. A diagram to connect these applications would be appreciated. Thank you.

Inline patch is great for sending audio out to the phone but it does not do the “digital hybrid” separation of your audio from that of the caller. So when you bring the caller into the mixer, you’re also going to get a portion of your own voice back in on that line.

Cliff, I can’t thank you enough for posting this information. I wonder if my situation still applies to this diagram – I have the Inline Patch from JK Audio and a Eurorack UB802 mixer. I use Sony Sound Forge software to record audio. I host an internet radio show and we’d like to use the inline patch to record phone interviews as well as allow artists to appear on the show “live”. Can I use the same setup you’ve shown for the Inline Patch?

Thank you!!

I have an audio setup that includes a MacBook Pro, Mackie Onyx 1220 w/firewire, mics, etc. all recording through GarageBand. So far everything is good. My question comes with Skype calls coming in and recording. I have been successful with the actual recordings, but my guests can not hear any additional audio, bumpers, intros, music, etc. They can here my conversation with them, but nothing else. Any suggestions on how to fix this. My mic is on Channel 1, secondary host in studio on Channel 2, audio and skype from laptop on Channel 11&12. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the info you have out here.

Great stuff! I have a background in radio. We are planning to set up an onlinetalk show webcast station. The InKeeper looks to be just what we need to make our setup work. We will order the unit through your link.

Thanks for the great info.

If you want to use a cell phone and record the conversation, I’d suggest using a free audio conference bridge. Something like TalkShoe.

Basically, you dial into the number. You have the other person dial into the number, you press the commands to start recording and their software records the audio of the call.

Don’t want to make your interviewee call in? If you have three way calling, you can call the conference bridge, have it start recording. Put that call on hold, dial the person you’ll be talking to and then conference those calls using three way calling.

Hope this helps!

Any suggestions for using a cell phone to record as opposed to a landline? I want to record calls either from the cell phone … is that possible? Thanks.

Cliff, thanks for taking the time to share and completely diagram this for dummies like me. I need to study it more, but I think, thanks to YOU, I have the technology to pull this off. Thanks! Lisa
