<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small">Or, maybe just use a couple of cordless phones set to the same number, with the tele-q ringing the pair (but the booth ringer turned off). Obviously, not hooked up to the real telephone line, but they can talk to each other over their wireless connection. You can always glue a fake cord on the one on stage if you need it to look like a corded phone.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small">Dave Tosti-Lane</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Nov 18, 2014 at 9:10 AM, Dorian Kelly via Stagecraft <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:stagecraft@theatrical.net" target="_blank">stagecraft@theatrical.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">The onstage phone will be connected presumably by an RJ11 or 45 jack in full view of the audience. . All you have to do is run telephone cable from the secondary connectors inside of the jack socket behind the set into the booth to another RJ11 / 45. Into this you plug a double adaptor. Plug the ringer into one leg and the booth phone into the other. Both phones will ring unless the booth on is off the hook. Speech both ways. NO cutting or soldering required<br>
Hope that helps<br>

> If you only need to get audio from booth to earpiece, (not both ways), it should be possible to use the outer two wires of a four wire telephone cable to carry an audio output from the booth. The telecue only uses the middle two wires. They are very thin wires so you might be better served from a signal loss perspective by using regular cable for the audio until you get to someplace offstage, closer to the phone to splice in the audio line.<br>
