The coupler just isolates and connects the music on hold playback device you buy. This can be just about anything from a CD player to a sattelite dish feed. If you don't have one already, you'll need to buy one.
Of course you must remember to pay your license fees to ASCAP and BMI if you use any published music. Music on hold is considered a "public broadcast" for license purposes.
However, my new favorite device for music on hold is this:
Under $200 US and it has no moving parts to clean or wear out. Hold 9 hours of music files (with the optional memory card) and retains everything in the event of a power outage.
If you obtain some unlicensed music files, no royalty or license fees are necessary. There are several good sources of those. Mine was the CD's from Ahern Communications .
Carpe dialem! (Seize the line!)

I have a Muzak system already purchased. But, what I am asking is that I have a twisted pair just hanging. Do i need to crimp it and if so where does it plug into? As far as wiring, does anyone know how to connect what to what? Thanks for your responses...
