This latest development from Active Media, out of Victoria, British Columbia, is one of those “why didn’t I think of that” inventions.

It is simply a tiny, battery powered amp that plugs into the headphone jack on just about ANY cell phone and allows a standard IFB earpiece to be used to listen to off-air programing. It even comes with a mic to allow you to “talk back” to the producers.

There is a very slight delay due to the digital compression of the cell phone, but with today’s digital microwave and sat shots, mix minus is already required.
