Telephone Audio + Power Interface
Users Guide
JK Audio, Inc.

Features
TAP-1 lets you attach an analog telephone to your consumer or
laboratory grade audio equipment or PC sound card using
standard RCA audio input and output jacks. There are three
jacks on the front of TAP-1. The RJ-11 "phone" jack is the
electrical equivilent to the wall jack that you would typically plug
your telephone into. Technically speaking, TAP-1 provides up to
70 milliamps of -48 volts DC to power your telephone and then
separates the telephone audio signal into transmit and receive
voice paths. This is similar in function to the line card on a
telephone company central office switching system. The RCA
jacksprovidehighqualitytransmitandreceivevoicepathstoyour

The rear panel of the TAP-1 has three adjustments which are
accessible with a small, flat blade screwdriver. The input level

and into the phone. The output level adjusts the volume from the
phone to your audio equipment. The null adjustment is used to

Applications
Two TAP-1s can be used in applications such as:
+hardwired,telephonebasedintercom,
+ getting real "telephone bandwidth" recordings from TV
studiotelephones.
TV Studio Example
Applications
A single TAP-1 can also be used for internet telephone use to
give you the feel of a real telephone while talking over the net.
If you use a cordless telephone you can walk around your
office home without being tied to your computer.

Hybrid Null Adjust (optional)
The null adjustment allows you to manually optimize the
relationship between the hybrid in your telephone and the hybrid
in the TAP-1. In most applications, this can be left at the factory
setting, or set once and then left alone. If however you are
concernedwithtransmit /receive isolationthenyou shouldfollow
thisprocedure:
1) With a telephone connected and in the off-hook position,
playasinewave,noisesource,orothersuitablesignalinto
theTAP-1lineinputjack. Besuretocoverthemicrophone
of the handset to prevent the acoustical signal from
travelingfromthereceivertothemicrophone.
2) Observe the signal on the output jack of the TAP-1 using a
meter,oscilloscope,oramplifierandspeaker.
3) Adjust the null control to find the minimum (the point
where the signal bottoms out, or is reduced to near zero).
The null adjust is a ten-turn control. Keep turning in one
direction or another to find the null or until you hear or feel a
click. The click means you are at the end of travel and
you must reverse directions.
