AUDIO PANELS IN THE 21ST CENTURY
Continued from page 57

The audio panels start with the GMA 240, the company's
simplest, lightest, least-expensive solution panel at under a
pound. The GMA 240 includes a dedicated full-duplex telephone interface, a four-position intercom, multiple isolation
modes, connections for two comms, two nav and two auxiliary connections, and two stereo music inputs that feed all
four intercom posts. It offers no marker-beacon receiver or
recorder function, however, something many pilots of simple
aircraft simply won't miss.
The GMA 350, 350H and remotely mounted GMA 35 offer
more features - marker-beacon receivers, for example - and
three additional intercom connections (with a total of seven
possible), as well as other options.
In between, the GMA 340 delivers a six-place intercom, a
keyed phone interface, and features like a split-comm setting
so both pilots can talk and listen on separate radios. For more
information on Garmin's audio panels, visit www.garmin.com.
Jupiter Avionics
An AEA member company since 2011, the Jupiter Avionics
JA95-001 audio controller is a compact, lightweight unit that
incorporates the latest technology. It is compatible with the
current industry standard interconnect and will support seven
users, including the pilot, co-pilot and up to five passengers.
This Canada-based company has put together a team of internationally respected avionics professionals, each with more
than 25 years of experience in the design, development and
manufacture of airborne audio communication equipment.

Northern Airborne Technology,
dba Cobham Avionics
This Cobham division features such a vast array of audioaccessory solutions that we suggest perusing the company's
information to learn about the audio-mixing amplifiers,
audio-control panels and the various features available in the
company's wide-ranging model line.
Note that some of the products offered by NAT include
specialty items for military and armed-forces use, in addition
to packages suitable for business aircraft. It's an extensive,
impressive collection. For more information, visit www.
northernairborne.com/sup-product-brochures.htm.
PS Engineering
Still an innovation leader and focused on making the
highest-quality audio-control systems, this still-youthful
company offers choices that span the budget and function

spectrum. For example, the PAC15EX unveiled this past July
at AirVenture installs remotely in experimental aircraft using
EFIS equipment from Grand Rapids Technologies, with the
GRT system programmed to control the functions of the
PAC15EX through the EFIS controls.
Similarly, the PAR200 audio-panel/comm controller offers
all of PS Engineering's best features in a unit that provides
the frequency-selection functions for a remotely mounted
Trig VHF communications transceiver.
The company still offers the PAR100EX for the experimental market, along with its PMA4000, a tiny dual-threat
package combining a four-place intercom and switching
between two communications transceivers and two navigation receivers - but with big-bog features like the company's
patented IntelliVox circuitry and an audio amplifier to power
a remote speaker.
All this and it fits in a 2.25-inch hole - technical standard
order and all.
The company's line includes the PMA6000B, PMA7000B
and PMA8000-series models with a variety of price points to
go with the features list - from dual-input audio control, to
Bluetooth, even a dual intercom-control model.
The Bluetooth-enabled PMA8000BT stands among the
best in the field with split intercom, multiple music inputs,
Bluetooth capabilities and dual-frequency monitoring and
more.
The PMA8000-series, like the 6000-, 7000- and 8000-series
audio panels, are all TSO'd.
For experimental aircraft and installations where TSO is not
an issue, PS Engineering offers the feature-rich PMA5000EX
in a standard form factor and the PAR100EX, a standard-size
audio panel with Bluetooth - and a control section for tuning
a remotely mounted VHF transceiver. For more information,
visit www.ps-engineering.com/intercoms.shtml.
Technisonic Industries
Technisonic's line of TSO'd high-performance audio management systems offer state-of-the-art, highly configurable
airborne audio solutions for a variety of aircraft. An AEA
member company since 1992, Technisonic is now wellestablished as a world leader in the development of aviationrelated communications products. For a complete description
of its various products, visit www.til.ca.
So there you have it. If a suitable solution still eludes your
customers, you might want to take them to lunch at Alice's
Restaurant while they decide.
It's indeed a crazy array of options and features, and no
two customers are likely to present the same exact needs and
equipment collections. q
