Abstract: Hybrid circuit for transition between two-wire and four-wire lines includes first and second operational amplifiers each having an inverted and non-inverted input and output, a voltage divider connected to each of the inverted inputs, a bidirectional terminal connecting the two-wire side to the non-inverted input of the first amplifier and a transmit terminal connecting the four-wire side to the non-inverted input of the second amplifier, to feed audio voltage to the non-inverted inputs, the voltage dividers having equal resistances, a receive terminal for connecting the four-wire side to the output of the first amplifier, matching impedances connected to the non-inverted input of the second amplifier and the output of the first amplifier, the matching impedances and an impedance balancing the impedance of the two-wire side compared to input impedances to the hybrid circuit being such that, for an incoming transmission, half of the output voltage of the second amplifier is at the non-inverted input of the fir
