Overview

Introducing QuickTap IFB
Connect the QuickTap IFB between your telephone and handset for quick access to audio from any telephone system.
Both audio output jacks contain a nice mix of the audio coming from the phone line and the handset audio going into the phone. Any conversation over the handset is sent over both audio output jacks. Or you can leave the handset disconnected and just hear audio from the far end of the call.
The QuickTap IFB does not work with cellular telephones or any telephone with a keypad in the handset.

FAQs

What kind of earpiece should I use with the QuickTap IFB?****

– Any standard earpiece should work fine as long as it has an impedance greater than 600 ohms.

I want to send the QuickTap IFB’s XLR output to an auxiliary input of my mixer but I’m not getting any audio. What’s wrong?****

– The QuickTap IFB is a passive device that outputs a mic level signal. You’ll need to send the output to a mic input on your mixer.

How do I adjust the level of the XLR output on my QuickTap IFB?****

– The attenuator on the QuickTap IFB only adjusts the 1/8″ earpiece jack. The male XLR provides a fixed level 600 ohm output.

I’d like to use a pair of headphones with my QuickTap IFB. Is this possible?****

– The QuickTap IFB is a passive device and will not power a pair of headphones. You’ll need to use a JK Audio RemoteAmp with it. The RemoteAmp will take the balanced output from the QuickTap IFB, amplify it and send it to a 1/4″ headphone jack and a 3.5 mm output jack.
