Telco-Interviews?
Telco-Interviews?
I was offered to interview a Band by telephone. It struck me, that in "these days" using the phone has become somewhat odd, so I never thought about this to become an issue, but now it is. I did a bit of net research, and got stuck.
My question is:
How do you solve the technical problem of recording an interview that you do by phone? Are you using special telephones? (If yes: which?) Are there other "easy and cheap" solutions? Any technical advice? Any "gapping holes" on the way the unaware is prone to fall into?

woha... That reads rather complicated... ...and expensive.

I use special cable for mobile phones (in my case Nokia) made from headset cable. I connect one side to mobile phone and the other end (with 2 audio outputs and 1 audio input) into mixing desk.

An alternative would be to use 'Skype' and directly record your session (e.g. via an appropriate Skype add-on).

Some info can be found e.g. here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephone_hybrid
or
http://www.audiotheater.com/phone/phone.html
So there are basically 3 typical solutions:
a) a special telephone hybrid converter/adapter is used, which offers a RJ-Western (RJ-11) jack on one end and an audio jack output on the other end (which can then be connected to your soundcard/mixer).
b) the telephone switchboard/system already offers a hybrid output (audio output).
c) the broadcast mixer consoles already offers a dedicated 'telephone hybrid' connector resp. a dedicated 'telephone hybrid' mixer channel.

Andfres, this is a good price. Did you maybe find some adapter for connecting mobile phones (in my case Nokia)?

Re: Telco-Interviews?
mobilefone is always the trouble with the signal disturbing. If you meen normal Cable Free Telefones - than there is from the same firm a different connector for that. think it was named lrx 37 or something like that.
For Cellfone/mobile in German Handy - I havend seen any connector jet

Re: Telco-Interviews?
The LRX looks quite interesting but it seems to be rather hard to get these days (no longer produced, I guess). Are there alternative products to this device? I know there are some howtos and stuff aimed to those willing solder one themselves but honestly I really don't feel like prying something together that in worst case fries me, my system and my phoneline
