Can I hook my ordinary tape recorder to these Telephone Controllers?
Your tape recorder has to be equipped with a REMOTE jack in order to operate properly with these Controllers. The REMOTE input is necessary to the Controller in order to manage the activation of the winding mechanism. Therefore your tape recorder must not only have an audio input but also a REMOTE jack. You may use a voice-activated tape recorder if you please, which does not carry the REMOTE jack. However, you will not be able to activate or deactivate the recording at will while your conversation on the phone is ongoing.
