 PM501 ICS   


No Options:

FEATURES:

  • Individual output amplifiers for pilot, copilot, and passengers 1 and 2, giving enough audio punch to allow communications in very noisy environments.
  • Voice Operated Relay (VOX) circuitry prevents mic audio from getting through the intercom until someone speaks or triggers the VOX open switch.
  • Automatic fail-safe interconnect to the aircraft radio wires the pilot's headset to the aircraft radio in the event of disrupted power or related failure.
  • Input jack giving pilots and passengers the option to listen to music during flight. During intercom activity, a mute feature will allow communications without distraction. Note that radio reception will NOT mute the music.
  • Pilot isolate mode allows the pilot to communicate without interruption during critical phases of the flight while passengers talk and listen to music.
  • Separate pilot and copilot transmit capabilities ensures that only the person pressing the PTT will be heard over the radio.

 PM1000II ICS


Options:
  • PM1000II. Standard Version - Pilot Isolate Only Only
  • PM1000II-CR. Crew Version - Pilot and Crew Isolation

FEATURES:

  • Pilot isolate, crew isolate, and dual entertainment sources allow full flexibility, even giving pilots the option to feed music to the passengers and allow them to chat among themselves without disturbing the front seats.
  • Soft Mute circuitry manages the music volume levels against radio reception and transmission.
  • Automatic fail-safe interconnect to the aircraft radio wires the pilot's headset to the aircraft radio in the event of disrupted power or related failure.
  • Separate pilot and copilot transmit capabilities ensures that only the person pressing the PTT will be heard over the radio. A red transmit light is illuminated when a PTT is pressed -- this also serves as a "stuck-mic" indicator.
  • Independent intercom volume settings do not affect radio equipment volume levels, allowing better control over communications.
  • An optional digital recorder can provide up to one minute of storage of radio receptions. A continuous loop recorder, it does not record "dead air time", giving the pilots an option to store up to 16 messages at any one time.

 

 PM3000 ICS   


Options:
  • PM3000-4. 4 passengers
  • PM3000-6. 6 Passengers

FEATURES:

  • Three modes at a flip of the switch: Pilot isolate (ISO), crew isolate (front seats separate from back), and all, so that the entire aircraft may communicate together.
  • Dual stereo entertainment inputs allow incredible flexibility, even giving pilots the option to feed music to the passengers and allow them to chat among themselves without disturbing the front seats.
  • A single squelch control knob for multiple squelch circuits provides simplified operation as well as making the intercom one of the quietest to use, even in the noisiest of airplanes.
  • Soft Mute circuitry manages the music volume levels against radio reception and transmission. Once you stop talking, Soft Mute gradually returns the music to its original volume.
  • Automatic fail-safe interconnect to the aircraft radio wires the pilot's headset to the aircraft radio in the event of disrupted power or related failure.
  • Separate pilot and copilot transmit capabilities ensures that only the person pressing the PTT will be heard over the radio. A red transmit light is illuminated when a PTT is pressed -- this also serves as a "stuck-mic" indicator.
  • The intercom volume does not effect the aircraft radio volume, and the pilot has the ability to control the audio level of the intercom independently from the audio level of the aircraft radio.
  • An optional digital recorder can provide up to one minute of storage of radio receptions. A continuous loop recorder, it does not record "dead air time", giving the pilots an option to store up to 16 messages at any one time.

 PMA4000 Audio / ICS 


Options:
  • PMA4000. Instrument Hole Mount (2.25" Standard)
  • PMA4000. Panel Mount

FEATURES:

  • A multi-position mode switch allows the pilot to select either Pilot Isolate or All intercom modes.
  • The ISO mode isolates the pilot from the intercom, and connects directly with the aircraft radios. The copilot and passengers are free to have conversation and enjoy the entertainment without radio interruption. The pilot is not distracted by passenger intercom use and has control over the radio communications.
  • The "ALL" mode places everybody on a party line. Each person hears all intercom conversation and aircraft radio reception. Everyone hears the entertainment source as well.
  • An optional digital recorder can provide up to one minute of storage of radio receptions. A continuous loop recorder, it does not record "dead air time", giving the pilots an option to store up to 16 messages at any one time.
  • The "Off" mode is part of the automatic fail-safe interconnect to the aircraft systems. If power to the intercom is disrupted, the pilot's headset is automatically connected to the aircraft radio. This permits continuous radio communications.

 PMA7000B Audio / Marker / ICS



Options:
  • PMA7000B. Standard Version
  • PMA7000CD. Includes remote CD (Controlled from audio panel)

The PMA7000MS-CD combines a version of the PMA7000MS and PCD7100 to create an extremely versatile audio panel with a remote-mounted compact disc player. The single-disk player is controlled by the PMA7000MS-CD, eliminating the pushbuttons on the CD player itself. This reduces panel space requirements by 25%, not to mention costs. To make room for the CD controls, the rotary switch was eliminated in favor of a push button transceiver selector. It also sports the controls for the compact disk player. The DME and ADF buttons were also dropped (although the audio inputs are still functional).
The split mode, pioneered by PS Engineering, is still available, but now uses an intuitive push button selection. To make operation simpler, Com 1 priority is provided to the pilot, in split mode, with copilot selection of Com 2 or 3.
The audio panel has concentric volume controls, one for intercom and one music volume. The PMA7000MS-CD retains the dual independent music sources. These can be paralleled to the PCD7100-R if desired.
The telecommunications distribution in the PMA7000MS-CD has also been improved by adding a full-duplex interface to aviation-standard impedance. This allows distribution of AirCell and GARMIN's Pilot Navtalk conversations, providing private telephone calls by the pilot or copilot, or party line calls with the passengers and/or crew, using Com 3. The unit can easily be configured as either a Com 3 aviation or Com 3 AirCell interface at installation.
The PMA7000MS-CD now has four un-switched and un-muted inputs. This adds flexibility when installed with today's advanced warning systems, like Skywatch or TAWS.

 PMA8000B Audio / Marker / ICS. (GMA340 Plug in replacement)



No Options:


PS Engineering has again demonstrated its forward thinking, adding value and utility to the lauded PMA8000B audio panel by installing a utility interface on the FRONT of the unit and by adding Smart Function Keys (SFK), allowing pilots to customize their audio panel.
The front-mounted, 2.5mm multipurpose jack will give pilots unprecedented access to their audio panel by allowing connection of a cell phone, portable music devices, or audio announcements directly into the audio panel. Not only have PS Engineering's designers added the jack to the panel, but new audio panel configuration controls are now available from the front panel, making the PMA8000B the most flexible audio panel in the world.
These new capabilities are a direct result of recent advances in avionics for situational awareness as well as new pilot requirements. For an example, when flying with the new GARMIN GPS396, the front panel utility jack is perfect and convenient way to hook up its audio output.

The PMA8000B Features:
  • Built in cellphone audio switching (pilot, crew and all passengers)
  • Built in front panel aux jack (music, cellphone or advisory)
  • GMA340 plug in replacement
  • Pilot programmable functions
  • Internal digital recording and playback system (up to 16 radio calls)

 PAC24 Audio / Marker / ICS. (KMA24H-70/71 Replacement)  


No Options:

The long-established leader in general aviation audio control has added to their extensive list of products with the introduction of the PAC24. This audio control panel was designed from the outset as an upgrade/replacement for the popular KMA24 –71, a product manufactured by King Radio. The KMA24-71 was used extensively in dual audio panel installations for high-performance and rotary-wing aircraft. 
The PAC24 can easily replace these units, while adding utility and performance. The many of enhancements include; a powerful headset audio amplifier, and high-performance IntelliVox® intercom, dual audio capability in a single box, full duplex mode for wireless operations, and expansion capability with stereo IFE input. 
Pilots want clear crew intercommunications and simple operation. That is what IntelliVox® is all about! We have had great success with the IntelliVox® in the loudest environments, from open door helicopters to WWII bombers. The IntelliVox® loves noise! The IntelliVox® makes conversation seamless for crew and passengers, and can responds to dynamic flight conditions.
Like the KMA24-71, the PAC24 can accommodate 5 transceivers. A monaural system, the PAC24 can include a music input. SoftMute™ silences music during radio traffic, but allows music other times.
Besides the powerful intercommunication functions, the PAC24 incorporates a split mode that will allow a single audio panel to separate two pilots on different transceivers. The pilot can transmit and receive in com 1, while the copilot position will have access to four other radios. In a dual configuration, the PAC24 uses a digital interface that permits unprecedented control of the radio and intercom configuration. When combined with IntelliPax™ expansion system, the dual PAC24 can be a 14-place system. 
The audio amplifier is capable of providing 120 milliwatts (mW) into general aviation headphones. According to PS Engineering's founder and president, “We asked helicopter pilots what they needed. They said they wanted more audio punch to get through the cockpit noise. Since they will wear earplugs under their helmets, they need a clean audio signal with lots of energy. 

The PAC24 features:
  • Powerful 120 mW headset amplifiers
  • IntelliVox® intercom for 2 to 5 places, expandable to 10
  • Slide in replacement for KMA24-71
  • Split modes
  • Patented Swap mode
  • 5 transceiver capable
  • Dual panel configurable
  • Music input with SoftMute™
  • Dual volume controls (pilot and Copilot/passengers)
  • Full duplex mode for AirCell® interface or other wireless
  • CVR output
  • Optional Digital Recorder System  

 PXE7300 AM/FM/CD/MP3 Entertainment Source 


No Options:

The PXE7300 marks a new level of price performance for Single/Twin Engine and Turbo Prop Aircraft in the In-Flight Entertainment market place. Combining three entertainment systems, (MP3, CD, AM/FM radio) the PXE7300 brings to the aircraft owner a system that not only is very reasonably priced, but has the functionality that makes sense in the cockpit.
This module and capability is offered as an upgrade to exiting PXE7300 installations at an optimal cost. Known as Option SR, the pilot can add the capability of coast to coast of clear radio reception without ever changing your dial!
Included with this system is an AM/FM aircraft antenna, that was designed to be mounted inside the aircraft. This eliminates the need for your installer to drill holes in your aircraft to mount an antenna, and significantly reducing the cost of the installation. (Note: it may be necessary for optimum reception to mount external antennas, however, based upon our experiences, these inside mounted antennas generally work very well)
Finally, we have developed a user interface that was designed by pilots, for pilots. This is not a modified automobile player, it never was one. Rather, it is a system that was designed from the ground up to be installed and used in the cockpit. And to top it off, it looks like it belongs in the aircraft too. Using the same mechanical features and faceplates as found on our audio panels, and other vendor radios, the PXE7300 looks at home in the aircraft panel as any other piece of avionics.

Here is what you get with the PXE7300:

  • FAA STC'd/PMA with over 600 airplanes approved for installation
  • Conventional CD (70 minutes)
  • MP3 Audio Files (up to 10 hrs) using standard CD or CD RW discs
  • MP3Pro Audio Files (Almost 20 hours, 288 titles)
  • FM Broadcast –AM Broadcast
  • Auxiliary (to interface external sources)

Now you can have complete entertainment at your finger tips. The PAV80 system incorporates AM / FM radio, CD / MP3 / MP3Pro for music, plus the added dimension of DVD video. The PAV80 system is a panel mounted player unit, which contains the DVD mechanism, as well as the AM/FM radio. A 5.5-inch Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) video terminal provides full color pictures. Up to four displays can be driven, using an optional video distribution amplifier. One of the most intriguing features of the PAV80 is its multi tasking capability. When coupled to an audio control system, such as the PMA7000B, the pilot and copilot can listen to the radio, while the DVD movie audio is provided to the passengers or visa versa. This feature gives the aircraft occupants unprecedented control over their audio entertainment.
Music in front, movies in back, and a full intercom conversation, with aircraft radio muting of the entertainment as desired (with compatible system). By taking full advantage of the independent inputs designed into our audio panels, we have tailored the IFE outputs the way today's aircraft are used in cross-country travel.The PAV80 was designed specifically as a general aviation entertainment system.
