169762 2003-08-23 03:05:00 I've got a headset (earphones and mic) that came with my Dynlaing 56k modem. It's got to wires with plugs that went into the back of the modem. What I'm wondering is if this can be converted to go into a Telecom phone to replace the handpiece?

Thx

169763 2003-08-23 03:37:00 Has the telecom phone got a headset socket?
Is the headset fitted with a dynamic or an electret mic?
Does the phone use a dynamic or an electret mic?
How long is that piece of string?

The earpiece/handset circuitry would probably accommodate the earpiece OK, but dynamic and electret microphones are not so compatable.

Only you know what you have got, we cannot see it...

Most phones don't :-)

I'm sure it's not there just to bump the price up. :D The telephone microphone is probably still designed to run on a 48V system ... telephone design is conservative. Any computer microphone will use 5V for electret supply. Graham L (2)
