Abstract
A key telephone system comprising a terminal device and a main apparatus which exchanges speech signals with the terminal device, the terminal device having a loudspeaking circuit for providing a predetermined amount of loss to either one of first speech signals selected to be transmitted to the main apparatus and second speech signals received from the main apparatus to prevent howling in a loudspeaking conversation mode, said system comprising: a first communication unit provided in the terminal device, for sending the first speech signals to the main apparatus through a first channel and receiving the second speech signals from the main apparatus through a second channel separated from the first channel; second communication unit provided in the main apparatus and connected to the first communication unit, for receiving the first speech signals from the first communication unit through the first channel and sending the second speech signals to the first communication unit through the second channel; in the first and second communication unit side tones between the first and second speech signals not being generated, whereby the predetermined amount of the loss caused by the loudspeaking circuit can be set to less than a loss which may be required for howling prevention if the side tones are generated.
