Recording a Phone Conversation in the Boiler Room
These instructions assume you are using the EuroDesk MX3282A Mixing board.
WIRING THINGS UP
First make sure all the wiring is correct. It should look like the diagram below: [picture]
- The phone cord should be plugged in to a phone line in the wall
- The other end of the phone cord should be plugged into the phone jack on the phone itself (underneath the phone there is a little picture of a box with a phone jack).
- The handset line (under the phone) should be connected to the THAT-2 box's Telephone jack. If you wish you can plug the phone's handset to the Handset jack on the THAT-2.
- The To phone 1/4" port on the THAT-2 should be connected to the Phones 2 port on the Eurodesk board (in the Phones/Monitor Outs section on the top right of the board).
- The From phone 1/4" port on the THAT-2 should be connected to Channel 19 on the EuroDesk board
- On the THAT-2 box, make sure the Handset type switch is set to B, and Line In is enabled (push the button in)
- Make sure you have a microphone and a headphone (so you can listen to the person on the other end of the phone).
- Mic(s) should be in Channel 1 or 2 on the Eurodesk board.
- The headphone should be in the Phones 1 channel (top right, in the Phones/Monitor Outs section).
The steps above (part 4. and 9.) have both the headphone and the output to the phone controlled by the Phones/Monitor levels. If you want to control them separately, you can move the To phone cord in step 4 to one of the Aux. Sends channels. Basically:
- (instead of step 4.) The To phone 1/4" port on the THAT-2 should be connected to Aux. Sends channel 7 on the Eurodesk board.
- Make sure that all the Mic channels you are using (usually Channel 1 and 2) is being sent to channels 7&8. Make sure the button labeled 7-8 right next to the channel slider (bottom of the board) is depressed.
- Turn up the dial labeled 8 on the Mic channels.
- Turn up the dial labeled 8 on the Aux. Sends bank.
SETTING THE LEVELS
The volume to the person on the other end of the phone is controlled by the Phones level (or the Aux. Sends 8 level, if you chose this option above). Setting it to maximum will provide a good level to your guest.
Setting the output recording levels is based on the Aux 1 dial, and the Aux. Sends 1 dial. Make sure NOT to turn these up too high, since this can cause the signal to overload.
