Re: [misterhouse-users] Whole House Audio Paging

Tim,
If you already have a system in place, the ducking module should work quite
well.  It goes between your pream and the input to your amplifier and has a
second input for the feed from MH sound card.  (If your system uses an
integrated receiver, use the tape monitor.)

The specs look good, so there "should" be no loss in sound quality.  I can't
tell if it is a stereo device.  You may need two.

My MH has some annoying background sound all the time.  If yours does too,
you may have to set the ducking threshold quite high to get rid of it, or it
might break through, which will be very annoying.  Can't be sure whether the
device has the threshold range to avoid it.  A relay between the sound card
and the ducking module would solve the problem.
