Telephone Microfilters

You may also opt to purchase telephone microfilters. Telephone voice transmissions take place in the lower
frequency range, 0 - 4KHz, while ADSL transmissions take place in the higher bandwidth range, above
4KHz. ZyXEL provides a microfilter that acts as a low-pass filter for your telephone to ensure that ADSL
transmissions do not interfere with your telephone voice transmissions.
