JK Audio THAT-2 Telephone Handset Audio Tap
Key Features
  • Record and Play Phone Calls
  • XLR and RCA I/O
  • Works with Multiple Receiver Types
  • No Power Required
The JK Audio THAT-2 is a telephone audio interface that connects between the telephone receiver and base. THAT-2 is designed to capture audio to record and play sound bytes or to send IFB dialog over phone lines. The compact telephone tap features balanced and unbalanced XLR and RCA I/O connectors.

The audio connections are used for sending line level signal down phone lines or capturing a mix of send and receive audio. A 3-position switch enables THAT-2 to be used with either a carbon, dynamic or electret style receiver (receivers with keypads are not compatible). Level adjust dials provide control over send and receive levels. THAT-2 is a compact, passive device that requires no external power source.

I am experience a clicking noise when I feed an audio signal through the THAT2 unit. Any recommendations on how to resolve that noise? or suggestion on different equipment.
Asked by: Tom
Clicking is often from telephone line. Try using the line input, as a test to see if its clean, then you know its the phone line.

question

I am trying this device with an Olympus digital recorder, connected via RCA cable. How do I reduce static noise? It seems that the noise level is amplified when connected. Not sure if the issue is THAT-2 or my battery-powered digital recorder...

question

What is the best method to record digital audio (MP3) from telephone interviews using this device? Should it be connected directly to a PC or a digital recording device, like an Olympus recorder? If to PC, is there a specific software to use to record the audio input? If digital recorder is the better option, is there a recommended recorder to use? Finally, what kind of cable should be used to connect the THAT-2 device to the digital audio recording device (PC or digital recorder). Thanks!

Hi Not sure if I can offer much help. I upgraded to the Inline Patch Audio Interface years ago. Regardless, I have always used XLR connectors that downsize (not sure if this is the correct term) to 3.5 mm male and connect to an audio recorder (Olympus LS-10). For some reason, I always have experienced interference. Thus, I have an IL-19 hum fighter between the device and the XLR connection. Recording to a computer has given me issues. Perhaps it is my set up.

question

Does this work with VOIP? Or only POTS lines?
Asked by: Anonymous
I've actually used this with an NEC DT700 which is a VOiP phone with a standard style handset. It worked pretty well. I would imagine that it works with any phone that has a standard RJ-11 handset connector.
