PAC-24
Audio Control For Helicopters and Special Mission
Aircraft
High Performance Audio Control and ICS Panel
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.
