But what do you use "voice" for with your system? Do use it too replace using a remote? If so, how well does it work?
Excuse me for asking, But wouldn't hardwired microphones work better? Just route them into a cheap mixer with a gate/limiter. I know the baby monitors are a wireless alternative, but i wouldn't mind patching some walls for a more reliable system.
.................. I am planning on putting a passive direct box between the line out and mic "in" of the intercom to pad the line level down a bit. Any thoughts or suggestions?
Dave --- that's the intercom I was using, in my setup, and telling you about last year. It works great.
Are you using it as speakers....as well as the microphone?
.......... Anyway, hope that answers your question.
Well it looks like Santa is sending me an early gift! My wife informed me that she has purchased these intercoms for me:

Of course I helped picked them out and they are VOX! and also pretty inexpensive. My plan when I get these( and I am chomping at the bit for them ;) ) is to mod one of them as a sort of "command" station for BVC. I figured out that by using jacks and soldering them into the speaker and mic that I could possibly create a line in and line out without losing the functionality of the intercom. Hopefully this works. On paper it looks good! I will takes pics and try to write an instructable on how to do this once Santa(UPS) delivers them!
Hello,
New to this BVC stuff I download the trial version and it works!! Just like that what a great job. I have a question concerning these microphone devices. Does BVC have the capability of listening to two peoples voices. It seems I only saw it wanted one user. SHMBO will not let me spend money if she couldn't get the benifit also. :-\
s0urc3f0ur -- Perhaps I missed it. Did you ever complete this project?
I went ahead with your great idea and it works great. There is a problem with either my setup or BVC, however. I have line in checked. As soon as it recognizes my attention phrase, the recording control switches from line in to microphone. (BVC no longer hears my commands since it switches to mic.)

Any help would be appreciated.
Just tried a different sound card and it did the same thing. This is all through the control panel, btw.
Thanks. That did the trick.
