Could you help me understand a little bit better what your end goal is? What is the specific need for being able to hear audio in the studio outside the headphones? Do you have additional people in the studio that need to hear the audio? Because that might be something that we can do by adding additional headphones. I believe the headphone rack can handle at least 5, maybe even 6 headphones at once.

The radio station, by design, is configured to minimize the amount of extra noise going on inside the studio to prevent the mics from picking up interference. Any noise that comes into the studio will be picked up by the mics in the room. So, if we find a way to route the telephone call audio through speakers inside the studio, there is a solid chance that this will create a feedback loop and cause a phase/echo. You probably would not hear it in the studio, but it would be present in the recording and in the stream. This is because the telephone call would be sent out to the stream/records, after which it would also travel out of the speakers and back in through the mic, and then back into the

The way the console is configured, there's no way to isolate the telephone call audio to an output by itself. There are only two "mixes" on the console and while those mixes can be sent out to any number of outputs, both of these mixes are required for full functionality, i.e., we can't set one aside to isolate the telephone call. The first mix (program 1) takes all the active signals and sends them out to the streaming software. The second mix (program 2) takes all the active signals and sends them out to the recording software. All that is to say, if we were able to find a way to route the telephone call audio through speakers inside the studio, you would also get everything going through the console including the mics, the DJ, and any auxiliary input (e.g., iPod). You would then get the same feedback/phase/echo on all active
