Need some advice, please.

I have a an old-style phone patch couplers I'd to use so clients can
hear outgoing audio rom my Pro Tools DAW. DSL comes into the same
location where I want to put the coupler, and there is a phone there as
well.

Will there be any problem connecting the coupler to the DSL connection?
I'm not quite sure how to do this.

Thanks!

You'll want to use a filter, the type that you're supposed to put ahead
of a plain old telephone
that you connect to a DSL circuit. Other than that, I see no problem as
long as you watch the level
that you're feeding to the phone patch. Depending on its age and
intention, it may not be accustomed
to the +20 dBu or so that your D/A converter can put out on peaks so be
sure you have a way to
control the level between the DAW and the phone patch.

There shouldn't be, just use a DSL filter like you do with the telephones.
You may hear more noise than usual on the return signal from the hybrid
but if you aren't using it for anything important that'll be fine.

Thanks Mike, and also Scott! I'll give it a go.
