Hi all!
So, at my school we have a clearcom wired system. It is very nice, but we would like to have some wireless capability. We have a load of wired beltpacks for which we do not have headsets. So, here is what I am thinking. Take a cordless phone. Take the audio output/input connections on the phones basestation, and wire them to the headset input/output of one of these disused beltpacks. Then, simply press the answer button on the cordless phone, and hay presto, you are in business. I could then get headsets for the cordless phones, to make them a bit more theater friendly.
I am not sure about what kind of voltages I would be looking at here, but I suspect that is may be necessary to employ a transformer (if there are impedance matching issues) or a voltage divider (if there are over voltage issues). This idea is in the very early stages, so I have not fully researched the voltage/impedance matching stuff, but I am just interested in what you guys think of this as an idea?
