Abstract

An interface circuit interfaces a four wire telephone circuit to a telephone headset. An adjustable receiver portion of the interface circuit receives a line input signal from the four wire circuit and produces a headset input signal limited to a predetermined signal level. An adjustable output portion of the interface circuit accepts a headset output signal and conditions it for use as a line output signal on the four wire circuit. A DC voltage is also supplied to a headset microphone through the output portion of the interface circuit.
