How To Set Up Live Phone Calls On Your Radio Station 

I don't know why youtube suggested the best videos last. Thank you for the amazing demonstration.

didn't read much of the comments so forgive me if someone already pointed this out... Guys, pro audio and video, a BEST PRACTICE is to use BALANCED cables always..RCA is not professional level audio because they are UNBALANCED cables. Use TRS (tip, ring, sleeve) 1/4" cables and 1/8" cables. RCA is consumer level audio/video. You will get a lot better audio quality by staying away from RCA cables.

I just tried it out on my Allen & Heath ZED60 mixer.... listened through headphones. it works! Thanks!

Thank you for this tutorial, you made this very easy and simple. Most people complicated this thing more than what it had to be. Thank you for simplicity within 4 in ahalf minutes. I have the same mixer and cords and will try this

mix minus is important, set that to max negative on the line in from the phone so they don't hear themselves, normally the red toggle. Great basic vid, cheers.

Please do a little research on OMTP vs. CTIA and then a new video on the subject. This should fix the issue for those who say they still have to speak into their phone mic for the caller to hear them. Thanks for this video. It is very informative.

I'm pretty sure you should hook up the output from the mixer in the AUX SEND, otherwise, the caller will hear himself when the call takes place. If you hook it up as you suggest (in the output or control room), the listener will hear himself back.

Very good video about explaining inputs and outputs. Thanks.

On this Xynex 802 you need to plug the return line from mixer to the pnone into the fx send, then you can turn down the fx knob on channel of the line coming into the mixer from the phone so they don't hear their own voice when caller is talking. Just make sure fx knob is turned up on channels you want caller to hear. Reply

Doesnt that create a audio/feedback loop, what prevents the callers audio from feeding back (him/her hearing a continuous echo)?

How about Mix minus? I think the caller on phone may hear his/her voice back if we don't cut the Aux send.

great video. just a quick question, if I was to connect my phone to my mixer and I was in the middle of a call, would all the buzzing and noises that comes with texts and notifications play through the mixer for everyone else to hear. which I would imagine would be so irritating. thanks chunky

hey! nice demo, brotha! does this method work with an audio interface like Behringer HD204?

Works great! watched the video and PRESTO!!! no echo's just clean sound (must say, it helped that I have the same mixer as you have...(novice sound person I am...)

Thank you my friend - tried it and it works without having to use a mix minus.

Thank you. If I am. If I am in a conference call with my phone, can I take the sound from the mixer to send it to the others in the conference call too with this set up? Also can you send me the links where I can find these cables, their names too. Thanks and God bless you

Thanks! Simple and to the point.

hi thank you very much for your helpful video just i have a question i have mixer profx 12 and i connected my phone to mixer as you told me and everything working very good but problem is every time some one calling me he or she can not hear my background music when i put for under their voice so can you tel me what should i do exactly. thanks

I'm trying this setup and I'm running into a problem that I'm hoping you can help me with. I'm doing a live stream on YT using this setup. I can hear myself and the caller fine through my headphones. The callers signal is lighting up my board signal lights but I cannot hear the caller on the stream. I literally have the exact same cable setup that you have in your video. I have the splitter coming out of my iPhone any going into REC OUT. The other 1/8 jack on the splitter is coming out of the phone and into channel 2 and 3 in my board. I'm coming through fine on the stream (my mic) but the caller isn't. I am coming out of the main on my board (only one channel L or R) and going into a Blue Icicle via a mic cable then USB into my MAC. Any ideas? Thanks!

+Streamingfreetv what is the Adapter's name near to the phone plz?

I am so excited about this! I am interested in doing Live Call ins during my Periscope Broadcasts.... This should work fine I think .... If I use my IPAD instead of my IPHONE for Periscope, I would use my iPhone for the phone calls coming in.... correct??? .... last question.... would I just be giving out my Personal Home Phone number for people to call in on??? And I would only be able to receive one call at a time without a way for people to be on hold .... is that correct??? I CANNOT WAIT TO HEAR BACK FROM YOU SO I CAN GET STARTED!!!! Blessings, cindy

Where can I get the cords? Thanks

This is awesome. Thank you so much

What about mix minus?

How do I do it from focusrite Scarlett through the gargeband live on TikTok in iPhone? I can not hear their voice but they can hear me. please help me out thanks

Hi! thank you for this. simple + easy enough. is this a setup i can use for video calls/conferencing using RU-vid Live? perhaps with a two-computer setup?

also, props to everyone pointing out how to make this better. As for the publisher of the video, this is not to talk down to you, this is the audio community looking out for you and others trying to find credible information. I hope we can all learn from this.

How do you make sure that the mixer audio doesn’t send it back to the phone through the output like a circuit? You don’t want them to hear themselves.

thanks i actually didnt know that works am sure am gonna need more this videos

Really nice video! Feels like its too easy! =D Just wondering, if I have a mic on channel 1 for example, thats the audio that goes into the mic on the phone, right? I have the USB version of the Q802 that you show in this video, will the caller hear anything that is going on, on the computer as well or is it only my mic that they will hear on the 2-track output?

Scene: I’m a DJ and have an internet radio show Equipment: I run virtual DJ with a broadcast feature through my pioneer DDJ SR2! I also have a Mackie mixer 802VLZ4 QUESTION: can you set up a DJ controller and give us me an example of that with this video?

Two questions:1. Can you take multiple calls at one time like a Conference call deal?2.Can you see your calls come in on your computer screen?

can please list all the cables and where we can buy those?

very Simple expedition. Thanks, Dear. be blessed in Christ Jesus

Where do you connect the microphone or headset to speak or hear from? I didn't see them connected

With this method, how do you battle mix/minus?

How can I combine this setup with my USB microphone?

Very explicit. Thanks!!!

What are the names of those 2 cords you have

Hello Sir Question is this kind of mixer can be use also for SMULE?? The PL Sound Mixing console with Bluetooth? Pls I need to know coz I want to buy for Smule.. Thanks.

Fantastic, thanks for posting!

Upload a video with mg12xu...how we connect phone calls in live streaming

thanks a lot man,now I know what to do.

I have the same mixer but won't work, my radio station software that Im using is Sam Broadcaster Pro, I want to be able to take live calls. I have the USB model

It would help so much if you linked your product here. Skipped to the next video and used another place because Im looking for instant access. So just wanted to give feedback

What mixture are you using

I see he has replied to this vid 7 months..smh does ANYONE KNOW WHY THE VOLUME ON MY PHONE TURNS DOWN WHEN I DO THIS IN CONFIG? Everything is working except that. I am constantly turning back up like it's a limiter in the phone. When I adjust the mixer to make the caller louder they get an echo.

Please what are name of does cables, wanna go get them plz

Seems as tho the caller would hear themselves when they talk. If the Phone Mic Out is connected to the Mixers Input Channel, and the the Mixers Output is connected to the phone input channel, just seems as though the caller would hear feedback of themselves. Or maybe I'm thinking too much into this.

Thanks, very useful video. Could you please also show how could we record the conversation when we are live on phone call.?

Good job brother

My callers are having lots of echo and their speech comes through skipping and garbled on the output of my live shows with this setup. Using Mixxx connecting to airtime server at 64 and 128 kbps. Ogg vorbis, mp3 format. No matter what the settings are I get the same problem. Putting it through a Behringer Q502 USB board.

are one of the cords mono? or both stereo?

i have a question ,,,what radio broadcast software can i use for radio?

Hello I’m trying to figure out how to hear them when they call because the person recording the podcast is controlling the audio when Im doing the podcast how will I hear them personally when they Speak

Good video - thank you!

still a great config...but I have an issue. After a while I hear clicks, tik, tik, tik, tik, and then the recording continues, it is ruining the recording. Because I cant hear the interviewee during the clicks. How can than be solved? It seems like the sound/behaviour when a cellphone is close to a fm radio,. the phone contacts the grid? Is'there a solution for this issue?

With this set-up, would the host need to use headphones? If so, could you demo a set-up where the host does not need to use headphones? Thanks

Good stuff Wade.

This was very useful thanks for this vido

How come there's no email address to reach you on your Online pro site? I've called your line, yet no one picks up, whats up with all that?

thx. cool stuff. would u b using a mic or just phone mic 4 ur voice in this set up? yo.

Hi sir this trick is work's for music video recording ?

thanks bro kept it simple

it screams amateur when you put very load music under a tutorial video. Let there be no music or make it very low so we can concentrate on the message..

If I'm streaming through Google Hangouts, and I do this, will the call be heard on the stream? i'm starting a live stream and want people to call in and be part of the show but don't know how to get the calls on the stream.

Thanks so much sir for this video

I cannot for the life of me find the y splitter for the iphone. Can you leave a link?

what are all the cables cords you need called?

can this connect with zoom calls?

tried it with a Yamaha AG06 mixer...didn't work, dont know what I'm doing wrong. or maybe its the mixer.

how can i setup the studio monitors to go off when mic is on???

Super info

This will make the person on phone listen to his or her voice going back

i see there is a lot of negative comments how this is wrong and that's wrong wire should go here go there. instead of giving gripes why not make a video your selves showing the so-called correct ways. i have been going through loads of videos to try and sus this out but every one waffle and makes it confusing. whether this video is right or wrong its been the simplest show video up to now. if all the other post took note of the simplicity of this video us novices would have a better experience and learn easier. so don't gripe produce a simple video?????????

will it work on a 502 behringer?

How can I set it up so I don't have to give my personal phone number so I can have callers calling in?

where did u get that mixer!

WHAT THINGS DO I NEED TO BUILD FM RADIO (SET)

Nice video just lower the back music

Can the caller hear them self

Dope, thanks

Great!!!

No feedback?

good job

but then... the caller will hear themselves on a delay... i thought by using the aux sends or fx sends would do the trick and not send their own channel to them.

Is it possible to take WhatsApp call with this too?

*# 1*

Did not work :(

Sorry, the music is too loud and distracts me.

not necessary at all...get a XLR to 3.5mm cord and plug it in your mixer. done and over with.

This sucks!

Good info. With you video, I was able to understand how to take calls. So simple, unlike others that I googled. Thanks
