Features
To Phone Jack
This is a line level input for signals that you want to
send down the phone line. This jack can be
connected to an audio output such as the
headphone output jack on a tape recorder, the line
output of a PC audio card, or the line output from a
CDplayeroraudiomixer.
FromPhoneJack
This is a variable mic or line level output from the
telephone line. By adjusting the Volume control,
you can vary the level from microphone level to a
linelevelsignal.
This jack provides a mix of both sides of the
conversation. In other words, whatever you send
down the phone line will come back on this jack
mixed with the audio from the other side of the
call. This is not adjustable. We picked a suitable
mix ratio for most telephones.
The supplied adapter cable allows you to take the
left channel from a 1/8" mini stereo headphone or
mono microphone jack and attach it to the RCA
jacks on THAT-1.

If a conflict arises it will typically be on the line
input side. If you attempt to send voice band
signals down the line input jack and the distant
party complains that the level is too loud or
severely distorted (clipping), try to lower the
transmit signal on your audio equipment. If this
does not help, discontinue use immediately.
