Question:
What kind of telephones do radio stations use?
what kind of phone can hook up to an audio mixer(console)?
Answers:
The way radio stations get their phone calls on the air, or through a mixer is by using a product called a "Phone Hybrid"
A Phone Hybrid is simply a device that feeds the balanced phone line into the on-air board.
A "Telos" unit is the most common hybrid used in radio stations today. They can have multiple lines giving the host the chance to "conference" callers, or the ability to take individual callers in rapid succession.
I hopes this helps you out a little bit. If you have any other questions on how things operate at a radio station, feel free to shoot me an email.
