Audio Panels

Welcome to the Audio Panel Guidebook
OUR OPINIONS ON AUDIO PANEL AVIONICS

Brought to you by
APG - Eastern Avionics International

For most pilots audio panels are a real mystery, but there are a few rules that universally apply:
  1. All radios of all brands have the same low level outputs and will work with all audio panels.
  2. Some older Narco and most Cessna audio panels do not have an internal speaker amplifier -- this limits their use in new installations.
  3. Adding missing switches or marker beacon lights to any Cessna audio panel is a bad idea. The job of rewiring these units can be costly and confusing.
  4. Don't worry about mixing manufacturers like a PS Engineering audio panel with a Bendix/King radio. All audio panels look pretty much the same and wire up to just about any radio, so get the one that meets your requirements and budget.
  5. Virtually all old Marker Beacon Receivers like the Narco MBT-12 series are no longer reliable and should be replaced with newer generation units rather than being repaired.

APG-Eastern Avionics has an extensive array of audio systems and marker beacon receivers suited to every requirement. Only a few are highlighted on this page. We custom design full audio control systems for corporate aircraft of all types and can also meet the special needs of law enforcement and fire services.

Much of your radio and navigation equipment is wired through your audio panel, so it really makes sense to get a good, solid unit. You may with to consider our Kwikmount options which will simplify your wiring and could definitely improve your avionics performance.

Garmin GMA-340 Audio Panel with Intercom
$1,989.00
010-00152-11

The Garmin GMA-340 audio panel features built in marker beacon receivers and a fully isolated 2 to 6 place intercom system with stereo capability. Discreet audio amplifiers for pilot, copilot, and passengers provide excellent reliability and special cabin noise de-emphasis circuitry keeps the intercom from tripping when engine power levels change. LED-illuminated push button controls allow audio selection of both Nav and Comm audio. Large buttons activate the Comm microphone and audios for up to three Comm transceivers to simplify cockpit workload. A Split Comm feature allows the pilot to transmit/receive on Comm 1 and the co-pilot to transmit/receive on Comm 2. MASQ™ processing reduces ambient noise from the avionics inputs. Comm transmit indication is also provided. Speaker selection is available to monitor the aircraft radios or to make PA announcements. There are two unswitched inputs for telephone ringers, altitude alert warnings, or other warning tones. In addition, this model includes a six-place VOX intercom with three selectable modes of isolation, dual stereo music inputs, and independent pilot, co-pilot, and passenger volume control. Each microphone input has a dedicated VOX circuit to ensure that only the active microphone is heard when squelch is broken. Special cabin noise de-emphasis circuitry enhances cockpit communications. Also standard is the three-light Marker Beacon Receiver/Indicator with high/low sensitivity selection and SmartMute™ marker audio muting. Surface mount technology provides shallow depth and light weight, which simplifies installation in the tightest aircraft spaces and saves precious panel space. Operation is available in 14 or 28 volts without voltage converters or dropping resistors. Installation is simplified with the built-in intercom and marker beacon, and they also feature photo cell dimming of annunciators, pilot fail-safe mode connection to Comm 1, and FAA TSO approval.

Garmin GMA-347 Audio Panel with Intercom
$2,695.00
010-00275-01

The GMA 347 audio panel builds upon the successful attributes of the GMA 340 while adding benefits such as automatic squelch, digital clearance recorder, and a full-duplex telephone interface. The GMA 347's automatic squelch option makes the entire audio experience quieter and clearer. Since there are some occasions when pilots wouldn’t want an automatic squelch—such as high-noise environments—the GMA 347 also retains the manual squelch adjustment feature. Garmin has also added three more unmuted, unswitched inputs with individual volume control. The GMA 347’s automatic digital clearance recorder helps pilots manage the demands of a busy cockpit. The unit continuously captures the last two and one half minutes of audio switched through the panel. If a pilot misses a frequency change or clearance, he or she can replay the necessary information by simply pressing the “play” button. In addition, the GMA 347 has a full-duplex telephone interface with intercom isolation and disable capability. This feature allows private telephone calls by the pilot or copilot, or multi-party calls with crew and/or passengers. Pilots will also appreciate the integration of the G1000’s “configuration module” into the GMA 347. If the audio panel is ever removed, all of the pilot’s preferred settings are automatically loaded into the unit.

The GMA-347 price shown is the base price for Installation and IFR Certification at our Punta Gorda facilities.

TSO compliance: TSO-C50c TSO-C35d using DO-160C, DO-170, DO-143, and DO-1788 Weight: 1.71 lbs.

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 PMA7000CD retains the dual independent music sources. These can be paralleled to the PCD7100-R if desired. The telecommunications distribution in the PMA7000CD has also been improved by adding a full-duplex interface to aviation-standard impedance. This allows distribution of AirCell and Globalstar and Iridium 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 PMA7000CD now has four un-switched and un-muted inputs.

PS Engineering PMA-8000B Audio Panel System w/IntelliVOX
$1,995.00 $1,695.00 On Sale!

This Flagship Model features control for two VHF coms (including split mode), a TEL interface, 6-pl. IntelliVox® stereo intercom with dual music inputs, 3LMB, and all the features of the PMA-7000 and PMA-6000 panels described below. The PMA8000 is direct replacement for the GARMIN GMA340; (SR is pin compatible) making for an easy upgrade. Dual music inputs lets your passengers enjoy a DVD, while the crew listens to music, while maintaining full intercom contact. The duplex TEL mode interfaces easily to any aircraft phone so anyone in the aircraft can talk on the flightphone, while the crew uses the VHF radios. You can also enjoy music continuously by placing music in the background and radios in the foreground. The latest version of the PMA8000 now uses an audio utility interface on the FRONT of the unit and Smart Function Keys that allow you to customize your audio panel. The front-mounted, 2.5mm multipurpose jack allows you to easily connect a cell phone, portable music device, or feed voice announcements directly into your audio panel. New front-panel configuration controls are now available, making the PMA8000 the most flexible audio panel in the world. When used as an entertainment input, the music is directed to the crew, and PS Engineering's patented SoftMute™ functions normally, or, PS's "Karaoke Mode"™ can be activated by pressing the "Mute" button, eliminating interruptions to the music from intercom traffic. However, if music is present at the rear connector, the PMA8000 recognizes the front jack as the advisory messages. These alert messages are not muted, and presented to the crew headphones only. The default mode for the new input jack is as an unswitched audio input, suitable for terrain or other advisory systems. Using the new "Smart Function Keys" (SFK), this mode can be switched to a music input with a simple key sequence. PS Engineering's VTS (Virtual Tech Support) is simply voice prompting with each special function selection assures that the pilot knows exactly what the new audio panel configuration is in plain English. Several other audio panel configurations are available using SFK. The music source from the front or rear can be directed to all persons on the intercom, or the second music can be activated in crew, or, the dual inputs can be independent. This not only allows users of earlier versions such as the PMA6000M-S or GMA340 to keep the same type of music switching, but also allows the occupants to customize their music environment "on the fly." Yet another function is that the front utility jack, or rear-input music can be directed to all intercom positions regardless of the intercom mode. No audio panel from any manufacturer offers this kind of flexibility. The PMA8000 utility jack also is a convenient way to connect your cellular telephone. The 2.5 mm jack is the same size as on most cellular phones, making the connection easy. When connected to a telephone and the pilot pushes the "TEL" button on the PMA8000 anyone who is on the intercom is on the phone, taking advantage of all of the ISO, ALL and Crew Isolation intercom modes. Best of all, the pilot can receive and transmit on the VHF COM with ATC as well, for seamless integration in the cockpit. (Cellular telephone use in flight is not permitted, but is a great way to contact air-traffic control or a weather briefer while on the ground.) PS Engineering's Internal Recording System (IRS) is now included as standard equipment. Originally a $130 option, it is now part of the audio package, allowing pilots to play back messages, eliminating the need for the pilot to ask "say again," or assure themselves that the last radio call was for them. A long press of the selected COM audio switch will play back the last recorded message. Up to 16 messages can be recorded and played back in sequence.

PS Engineering PMA-9000EX Audio Panel, Intercom, MP3 Player, Bluetooth, Marker Beacon Receiver
PS Engineering PMA-9000EX Audio Panel, Intercom, MP3 Player, Bluetooth, Marker Beacon ReceiverGet all of the capabilities of the PMA8000 and have your music too! Integrated SIRIUS Satellite Radio included. EXCLUSIVELY FOR THE HOMEBUILDER With more and more integration happening in the cockpit, and with the more relaxed rules that govern the Experimental Aircraft marketplace, the folks at PS Engineering, Inc. wanted to offer capability that meets the needs of the homebuilder. Because strict adherence to TSO limitations was not required, management changed the way this product development project was going to run. They decided to let the engineers run loose with their imagination. The results? Unparalleled Innovation, Utility, and Functionality. The backlit Liquid Crystal Graphics Display provides an easy way to manage the audio system. At a glance see what radios are selected, titles of songs, and message alerts. A host of audio panel configurations can be changed with a twist of the Rotary Data Knob. Our trademark front panel utility jack acts as an iPod input, telephone input, or USB port for the onboard MP3 player. This USB port allows the crew and passengers to download music from a memory stick, providing hours of continuous music listening. The Bluetooth® interface eliminates the wire clutter that used to be necessary to connect telephones. This wireless interface gets the pilot as close to hands free flying as possible! The unprecedented number of audio panel configurations allows the pilots to make the system work just the way they want. There are 5 different ways that any two of the three music inputs can be distributed. And making that configuration change is as easy as turning the Data Knob and select which distribution setup best meets the needs of the occupants. And of course, non of the capabilities of the venerable PMA8000B has been lost on the PMA9000EX. It too is plug and play with the GARMIN GMA340. BluetoothÒ Wireless Connection Allows Bluetooth capable telephones to wirelessly connect their phone to their audio panel system Ø Built-In MP3 Player 512 Megabyte memory provides about 8 hours of continuous music listening Ø Graphics Display Just A Glance (JAG) tells the pilot how the audio panel is configured or what song is being played. JAG provides a great human interface to easily select configurations of the audio panel to best meet the pilot's needs. Ø Front panel jack for USB, Phone & iPod An easy way to get your iPod, hardwired telephone, or a Memory Stick connected as means for uploading music.
