We use a wired 1 channel telex intercom. My students would like to try and use earbuds with a mic (like what comes with cell phones) in place of the they ear muff sets. The earbuds test out to have 4 wires, 1-right, 1-left, 1-mic and a common ground. The pinout for the 4=pin XLR on the headset have pin 1 and pin 2 for the mic, and pin 3 and pin 4 for the speaker. No Common ground.
. I suggested using Pin 1 on the XLR as the mic wire, Use Both right and Left wires on Pin 4 of the XLR then use the common ground on Pin 2 and pin 3.
The questions is this. Do you think this will damage the station box? I am thinking it am cause a Hum but not do any really damage.
Does anyone know a better way to do this? Myself, I think even if it works they will not be able to hear very well back stage over the other sounds. But I want them to learn on their own what works and what does not. I just want to be ready if the smoke is about to happy.
Thanks in advance....
