Company: JK Audio, Inc.
Product: Innkeeper PBX

This $495 device converts your multi-line PBX-type phone system into an affordable talk show console.

The digital hybrid connects audio to your PBX through the telephone handset cord. DSP monitors signals to maintain separation. Connections are provided for a mic, headphones, mixer, sound card, and telephone handset.

Stations enjoy a fully functioning digital hybrid connected to their PBX/electronic office phone and get great sounding phone quality for talk shows, recording interviews for news/PA and conference rooms. They don’t need a separate KSU or other specialized device to do good radio phones. “They hardly need an engineer” wrote one judge. “It’s basically plug-and-play by inserting the unit in series with the PBX phone handset.” Ships in June.
