JK Audio HOST Broadcast Host Desktop Digital Hybrid

Professional Desktop Phone Interface for Broadcast Use

The JK Audio Broadcast Host is a digital hybrid desktop unit designed for broadcasters, podcasters, and content creators who require reliable telephone audio integration. This compact desktop interface connects to standard analog phone lines and provides a clean, isolated audio signal for professional interviews, call-ins, or IFB (Interruptible Foldback) communication. It allows you to send audio to the caller and receive audio from the phone line with broadcast-quality clarity, making it an essential tool for any live or recorded production environment.

Achieve Clear Separation Between Host and Caller Audio

At the heart of the Broadcast Host is a 16-bit digital signal processor (DSP) that continuously analyzes audio on both ends of the call to minimize crosstalk and echo. Its advanced algorithm ensures your microphone signal and the caller’s voice remain isolated, reducing feedback and bleed common in analog setups. Whether you're conducting remote interviews or feeding return audio to a talent or guest, the separation performance makes your production cleaner and more professional.

Convenient Auto-Answer for Remote Operation

The Broadcast Host includes a smart Auto-Answer function, which answers the call on the first ring and drops it automatically once the caller hangs up. This is ideal for unattended studio environments, remote IFB links, or when you need hands-free operation. Auto-Answer keeps your workflow smooth and consistent, without requiring additional switchers or staff to manage calls manually.

Simple Integration With Pro Audio Systems

Connectivity is straightforward, with an XLR input for microphones or line-level signals, an XLR caller output for isolated phone audio, and a stereo mini-jack that sends a mix of both sides of the call. These connection options make the Broadcast Host compatible with mixers, recorders, or computer-based DAWs. A front-panel headphone jack gives you direct monitoring of the mix, making it easy to adjust levels and confirm signal integrity before going live.

Designed for Podcasters, Broadcasters, and Field Reporters

Built to suit both studio and mobile broadcast applications, this unit is compact, sturdy, and highly functional. Whether you're in a control room, a mobile news van, or a home podcast studio, the Broadcast Host ensures you maintain control over call audio and deliver the clearest sound possible to your listeners or viewers. It’s purpose-built for journalists, radio hosts, producers, and media teams looking for plug-and-play phone audio solutions.
