[DECtalk] Best way to record sound from a DECtalk Express

[Aksel Leo Christoffersen]

Hi,

What is the difference between line-in, and mic-in?
Also, I live in Denmark, so I'm not sure I can buy from those sites. It
doesn't mater for me wether it is sterio or mono. I can always convert it to
mono, if it's sterio.

Make sure you are using a LINE-IN and not a MIC-IN on the recording 
device. The DECTalk output level is far to high for a MIC-IN input and 
the result will be noisy and distorted.

If all you have is a MIC-IN, radio shack makes an "attenuating dubbing 
cord" which will work (but is only mono, doesn't really matter because 
the DECTalk output is really mono - it is wired so that it will work OK 
with a mono or stereo plug) .. I think it is part number 42-2152 .. 
amazon has sellers that carry it.
