I had an idea recently. It sounds cool, but I need you guys' advice as to whether or not it is feasible, plus I have a couple of questions.
In one sentence, I want to find a way to hook up one of our headsets from the theatre to my cell phone so that the mic and earphone works and everything. Now for the specifics: Our headsets at school are of either this variety: Telex Intercom Headsets PH-88: Single-Sided Headset with Flexible Dynamic Boom Mic & A4F Connector
or this variety: Telex Intercom Headsets PH-88R: Single-Sided Headset with Flexible Dynamic Boom Mic & A4M Connector
First off, can anyone tell me the difference between A4F and A4M connectors?
EDIT: I looked it up, and I'm pretty sure that the only difference is that the A4F has female connectors, and that the A4M has male on the headset. In this case, our school has the A4F ones (the first link).
Now that that problem's out of the way, can anyone provide the wiring diagram for a female A4F? i.e. If I'm holding it in my hand and looking at it, which one is the headphone, ground, mic, etc.?
The jack on my cell phone (LG Dare, btw) is capable of stereo audio and microphone at the same time. It is a female standard 3.5mm jack, so I would need a male connector. I know the wiring for 3 pole 3.5 mms (tip is left earphone, middle is right, top is ground), but I am unfamiliar with the 4 pole ones. I found this link: Zen Vision :M Video Cable & Other 4-Pole 3.5mm Pinouts
which kind of helps, but I need the pinouts for microphones, not video cable. Basically, I'm trying to trick the phone into thinking that one of these is plugged in:
Phone headset
and to do that, I need to find the pinout for that type of device. Although I believe that one of the "pins" will be left blank, because our headsets are mono, not stereo.
Well, that's my story. Does it seem workable? Ask if anything's unclear.
Thanks in advance for answering my questions
