Add PBX system telephone line connectivity to your Podcast Solutions Starter, Veteran or Professional package with this bundle from BSW, and add callers to your Podcast. You get the JK Audio Innkeeper PBX digital hybrid along with 1/4" to XLR Male and 1/4" to XLR Female cables to interface with your mixer.

The Innkeeper PBX digital hybrid easily converts your multi-line PBX type telephone system into a professional audio interface with excellent separation of caller audio, connecting between your telephone handset and the phone base.

This digital hybrid connects audio signals to your PBX type telephone system through the telephone handset cord. The Digital Signal Processor (DSP) continuously monitors both transmit and receive audio signals to deliver excellent separation. This proprietary, dual-convergence echo canceller algorithm can achieve excellent separation without any setup, and without sending a noise burst down the line.

The Innkeeper PBX provides connections for a microphone, headphones, mixer, sound card, and telephone handset. The stereo output jack on the back of the unit provides your voice on one channel and only the caller's voice on the other channel. The balanced XLR output jack contains only the caller's voice. The Handset and Broadcast buttons select between talking on the handset, or sending and receiving through the audio connections.

Interviews: Use Innkeeper PBX in your newsroom to record high quality interviews. Connect a mic and headphones to your PBX telephone while maintaining excellent separation between your voice and the caller.
