Xlr Snake Cable

How can I make a point-to-point phone system through XLR?

Q: How can I make a point to point phone communications system that runs through XLR cable? I have access to power outlets on both ends, and I have XLR to plug into the system. I need the phones to ring quietly (or silently), so a ringer light would be ideal. I also have to make it work on a budget or under $50. With the XLR, I can wire it to use all 3 conductors, but I would prefer to only use two, since the third is a coaxial around the outside of the other two. The phones will be approximately 130 feet away from each other, but the XLR snake that I am using is silver. Does anyone know how I can build (or buy) a system to fit my needs?

A: the easiest way to make a point to point intercom is to wire the phones in series. Make a loop. In the old days, a 1.5v battery with screw terminal would be used. 3 or 4 batteriies in series.

You need a battery, 6 volt is fine, 12v is fine too. A couple amps will last a while. Two phones will draw about 40ma.

Wire the phones so that Tip is connected to Ring from T1 to T2 and then Ring on T1 goes to the positive side of the battery and the negative goes to Tip on T2.

The XLR is 3 wire. The phone will take two wires. This leave one wire to control the phones. A “button and buzzer” will make a nice signalling system. You can use the run without the battery and a piezo buzzer, a push switch to the powered side, would cause the phone to get the other ends attention.
