Flying Never Sounded So Good

®

Our sole mission is to invent better ways for pilots to communicate. It’s no wonder why PS Engineering has brought more audio control innovations to GA than any other company...period.

In 1985, two electrical engineers, one a Pilot the other a circuit designer, found themselves wondering when the revolution would come to the field of audio control. At the time, aircraft intercoms and audio panels had seen virtually no improvement in over a decade. With new digital circuitry and technologies, they believed it was time for the revolution to begin.

Cessna 421

Because of our many years of experience in designing and manufacturing audio control systems, many other avionics manufacturers have relied on

PS Engineering to design and build their audio panels to complete their avionics suite. Considering the entire fleet of private aircraft (GA, LSA, Experimental) it’s wouldn’t be surprising to think that more than half of those airplanes have one type or another of a PS Engineering manufactured product.

If these two guys hadn’t founded PS Engineering, the community

of pilots would probably still be waiting for the revolution to begin.

PS Engineering has been the source for virtually every major cockpit audio innovation in the field of audio panels: n

First to provide BlueTooth ® integration n

First to implement the USAF patented technology Patent no.

7,391,877 n

First to provide true hands-free VOX system, the IntelliVox ®

Patent no. 6,493,450 n

First to provide individually adjustable VOX circuitry n First to use digital signal processing to record aircraft radio for playback in the cockpit, known as the IRS n

First to provide an integrated aural warning system into an audio panel n

First to provide Swap capability, Patent no. 5,903,227; 6,160,496 n

First to fully integrate music with Soft Mute technology, allowing flexible music control. Patent no. 4,941,187 n

First to introduce an FAA approved stereo audio panel with intercom and marker beacons, all in the same unit n First to introduce AMP ™ , (Active Microphone Processor) a system that removes noise from the microphone.

Why so many audio panels?

The reason we designed all these audio panels wasn’t to confuse our customers; but rather to provide solutions to match our customers’ needs. We recognized early on that one size does not fit all.

Certified

PAR200A – World’s first audio selector panel that functions as a hi-fi stereo intercom with Bluetooth ® and controls a remote mounted Com radio.

PMA450 – A slide-in replacement for the GARMIN* GMA340 and the PMA8000 series, this Digital Audio Selector Panel provides IntelliAudio ® Dimensional Sound, 6-place

IntelliVox ® and hi-fi stereo with Bluetooth ® interface.

PMA4000 – A small form-factor was the design goal for this little jewel. Capable of being panel mounted like an intercom or in a 2¼” round instrument hole, the PMA4000 also provides a four-place mono intercom with IntelliVox ® and speaker amplifier.

PMA6000B – Low cost solution. This is the only audio panel we know that includes an intercom and a marker beacon receiver selling for less than $1095.

PMA7000 Series – Pin-compatible to the KMA24, these audio panels incorporate

IntelliVox ® and enhanced capabilities such as full duplex wireless telephone, and audiophile stereo music inputs. Three systems to choose from.

PMA8000 Series – Designed as plug-and-play with the GARMIN* GMA340, this audio panel includes a complete feature set with digital recorder, front panel configuration control, and monitor mode.

PAC24 – This specialty audio panel is suitable for special mission use, such as police/ rescue/fire patrol, and includes provisions for observer position. Single and dual systems available.

Experimental

PDA360EX – The fundamental advantage of the PDA360EX over conventional audio panels for the homebuilt aircraft is that is uses the same technology as its big brother, the PMA450.

PMA5000EX – This “Experimental Only” audio panel has the capabilities homebuilders demand as well as some new innovations.

Price/Performance was the goal and this panel delivers in both sectors. The PMA5000EX will find itself operating comfortably from

Light Sport Aircraft to RVs.

ProSupport

™

PS Engineering’s revolutionary IntelliVox ® intercom squelch protocol harnesses the computational power of microprocessors, and eliminates complicated squelch adjustments. In addition, by using independent, automatic microphone squelch circuits, extraneous cabin noise is minimized.

IntelliVox ® means that the system will always be optimized, tailoring itself for different microphones, as well as variations in voice and sound levels in the cockpit. With IntelliVox ® you’ll have seamless and clear communications.

Using patented technology licensed from the Air

Force Research Laboratory at Wright Patterson

AFB, IntelliAudio ® places multiple audio sources in positions within stereo headsets. These dimensional sound locations allow the Pilot to more easily focus on a particular radio conversation of interest.

All of our audio panels include PS Engineering’s

ProSupport Warranty. Depending upon the audio panel installed, the unit will come with either a 1, 2, or 3 year guarantee that if the unit was installed by an authorized PS Engineering

Dealer or a custom wire harness was purchased from PS Engineering, a warranty exchange unit will be shipped the same day of the issuance of an RMA.

The PAR200A is an FAA Approved system that combines an audio control panel,

4-place stereo IntelliVox ® intercom with Bluetooth ® , and a remote mounted,

760-channel VHF aviation communications transceiver.

This system saves cockpit space, weight, and money over stand-alone independent systems while providing the most sought after functionality.

The PAR200A is attractive for the aircraft that is used primarily for VFR missions or as an audio panel/back-up com to more advanced systems. The elimination of one panel mounted radio saves valuable panel space.

Seamless integration between the audio panel and the radio was the goal for the best user experience possible, while keeping the system costs to a minimum.

The right half of the PAR200A is dedicated to the communication radio, with an easy to read LCD display that shows the frequencies, which are controlled through a concentric knob. This radio has active and standby frequencies, and a standby frequency monitor mode that permits listening to both active and standby frequencies.

The Pilot can store up to 5 frequencies in non-volatile memory so he can easily tune to his frequently used channels. The radio also has autosquelch, so you will always have optimal radio sensitivity.

The left half controls the audio panel for radio selection, intercom and music volume, intercom modes, and multiple music mute mode control. The PAR200A has two independent music inputs. Independent power supplies assure operation in failsafe on the audio panel; the VHF radio can still be used.

The PAR200A can be configured as stand alone, as COM 1, or as COM 2. This provides flexibility to allow the aircraft owner to decide if a second radio will be used and in what position. The PAR200A includes a cockpit speaker amplifier for additional flexibility.

An integrated Bluetooth ® system allows the PAR200A to interface with cellular telephones, giving the aircraft occupants ready access to their telephones. In addition, the Bluetooth ® will stream music from compatible devices like iPads, and smart phones.

The PMA450 begins our journey into the digital-audio domain. Our company is known as the source of the vast majority of innovations in audio control systems for General Aviation and the PMA450 opens up completely new dimensions for audio panels with valuable features and an intuitive interface.

Although the PMA450 has a superset of the capabilities of the PMA8000BT,

Pilot’s access to new advanced features is significantly more intuitive. Pilots who currently are flying with the PMA8000BT will have all of the advantages of their current system along with all of the new capabilities of the PMA450.

IntelliAudio ® is a patented technology that we have licensed from the United

States Air Force. Originally designed for fighter pilots who are inundated with multiple types of audio signals, the PMA450 now brings this technology to

GA Pilots.

For instance, when wearing stereo headsets, Com 1 will appear to come from the Pilot’s 10 o’clock position while Com 2 will appear to come from the

2 o’clock position. Because the method used to create this audio environment not only makes it possible for the Pilot to hear both radios at the same time, it allows the brain to more easily discern one com from the other. With

IntelliAudio ® ’s digital audio processing, the radio and intercom audio is incredibly clean, clear and crisp.

Our highly acclaimed patented automatic VOX (IntelliVox ® ) is also an integral part of the intercom system of the PMA450, completely eliminating manual intercom squelch adjustments.

Through the use of 3 soft-keys and a graphic display, the Pilot visualizes the set up of the audio panel. This makes making changes to the audio configuration simple. This approach means a Pilot guide is almost unnecessary.

In addition to Nav 1 and 2 switched inputs, there are three Pilot definable switched inputs that can be named to reflect actual equipment in the aircraft.

Finally, there is no requirement for an avionics shop to connect a computer for initialization of the audio panel. All audio panel adjustments can be done using front panel controls, eliminating the need to connect to an external computer.

The PMA7000B audio panel lends itself nicely for upgrading an existing Bendix/

King KMA24. While not a plug and play with this KMA24, the PMA7000 series uses the KMA24 connector exactly as it is. This means that none of the wires to the radios are changed. Because the KMA24 does not have a built-in intercom, a second connector is necessary to access the capabilities of intercom, music inputs, and even a telephone interface.

With our legendary 6-place IntelliVox ® auto squelch, adjusting the trip level of the individual microphones is a thing of the past. IntelliVox ® is designed to keep all microphones off until it recognizes a voice. When is does hear a voice, it instantaneously opens up that mic channel, allowing the intercom channel to be heard. No more clipping or missed syllables, it just works flawlessly.

The PMA7000 series has 3-Com capability. If desired, the Com 3 can be wired as a full duplex telephone interface. With the ability to call ATC while on the ground using the headset, the clarity of these calls are much improved, making the phone a virtual 3rd radio.

Stereo music is the hallmark of the PMA7000 series. With audiophile quality, the Pilot, crew, and passengers can listen to music using our Softmute ™ .

When the radio becomes active, the music will mute, allowing unfettered access to the radio communications. There is the ability to place the music into

“Karaoke”mode through the use of the ICS button.

The capability of connection to Bluetooth ® enabled devices is now available with the PMA7000BT audio panel. Make phone calls or stream hi-fi stereo music into the audio system wirelessly. All PMA7000 series audio panels, including the original PMA7000MS can be upgraded with the PMA7000BT Plug

‘N Play audio panel.

PMA8000B

PMA8000BT

The PMA8000 Series Audio Selector Panel offers the widest range of capabilities based upon one standard configuration. It is the platform for all other models and has the greatest price/performance value when considering an upgrade to your audio panel.

All models of the PMA8000 are Plug ‘N Play with the GARMIN

GMA340*. This makes upgrading to the more capable PMA8000

Series audio panels simple because it is as easy as sliding out the

GMA340 and sliding back in the PMA8000.

The PMA8000BT adds Bluetooth ® connectivity. This allows

Bluetooth ® enabled devices to be wirelessly connected to the audio panel, eliminating the wire clutter usually associated with iPods, telephones, or other devices that are “plugged into” the audio panel.

Both telephone and music streaming are supported, and up to

8 different paired devices can be stored.

The PMA8000B and the PMA8000BT are available in Vertical

Mount.

PAC24

PMA8000C

The PMA8000C provides for an additional communications transceiver. While most aircraft have two Com radios, there are cases where a third transceiver is required. The PMA8000C not only allows the connection of three radios, it also provides 3 unique split transmit modes.

Pilot Com 1 - Copilot Com 2



This is particularly helpful when there are special missions required. As an example, Com 3 could be a HF or UHF radio. Unlike the GMA340 where only Pilot

Com 1 - Copilot Com 2 is offered, the PMA8000C adds this additional flexibility.

The PMA8000E is a system that consists of two interconnected audio panels. This provides the Pilot and Copilot their own audio selector panel. With the intelligent digital interface control, the Pilot has command of the entire audio panel system yet can easily offload some of the radio work to the Copilot.

Intercom configurations allow the Pilot undisturbed radio communications while permitting the Copilot and passengers to communicate.

“Strange States” are a thing of the past thanks to the PMA8000E’s built-in intelligence. This system prevents the Copilot from over-riding the Pilot’s audio panel configurations, or interrupting the Pilot’s radio communications. Because of this intelligent approach, the Pilot and Copilot will treat their respective audio panels as their very own, never second guessing what configuration the other person has his audio panel in.

PMA8000E-Pilot

Each audio panel is Bluetooth ® enabled. They can be used privately be the Pilot or Copilot or shared with each other. The Copilot’s Bluetooth interface can also be shared with the passengers.

Through the use of expansion units, it is possible to have up to 12 passengers connected to the system.

The PAC24 was designed as a versatile audio system that meets the needs of airborne law enforcement, EMS, forestry, and special mission aircraft.

Best yet, the recently updated PAC24 is designed to be easily retrofit into the same installation as a King KMA24H (-71). This makes adding modern, flexible, audio control and a high performance intercom easy and cost effective into aircraft with aging audio panels.

The PAC24 contains PS Engineering’s legendary IntelliVox ® intercom and the headphone amplifier is the most powerful and cleanest in its class, delivering 120mW of punch to overcome the loudest cockpit environments.

The PAC24 has all the features you expect from PS Engineering, like swap ™ , split mode, duplex mode, and 3-year warranty. Designed from the beginning as a dual-capable system, the PAC24 offers outstanding flexibility for crew member and passenger communications. The dual configuration, the Pilot’s audio panel has command of the ships’ intercom if necessary, while the Copilot side is able to handle any necessary audio chores.

In cases where the crew wants extra control, the PAC24 can be switched to PTT-ICS mode. This prevents the intercom from activating until a dedicated push to talk switch is activated.

COM 5 has special properties in the PAC24. It can be configured as either a conventional Com 5 transceiver, or as a full duplex telephone.

An “Observer” version of the PAC24 is also available. This unit allows radio transmission capabilities for a third person when configured as a special mission dual system.

For non-aviation HF and UHF radios, a tactical radio adapter is required.

PDA360EX

For Experimental Aircraft Only For Experimental Aircraft Only

PMA5000EX

With IntelliAudio ® being embraced by pilots who fly certified aircraft, we wanted to make it available to the Homebuilder. Taking some of the

PMA450’s technology while adding some unique capabilities, we put these functions into a package that best suits the Homebuilder.

Operation is based upon a 3-softkey/graphics display interface that virtually eliminates the need for a Pilot’s Guide. It can be configured so the Pilot has direct access allowing customization of the audio panel.

For instance, when wearing stereo headsets, Com 1 will appear to come from the Pilot’s 10 o’clock position while Com 2 will appear to come from the

2 o’clock position. Because the method used to create this audio environment not only makes it possible for the Pilot to hear both radios at the same time, it allows the brain to more easily discern one com from the other. With

IntelliAudio ® ’s digital audio processing, the radio and intercom audio is incredibly clean, clear and crisp.

The PDA360EX includes IntelliVox ® . It provides both pilots and passengers with automatic intercom squelch control. By consensus of the GA community,

IntelliVox ® “works like magic” and eliminates the need for any manual adjustments to the intercom squelch.

The PDA360EX provides connection to entertainment and telephone devices.

The display provides caller ID. There is front panel volume control of the telephone as well as an adjustment for telephone side tone.

The ability to select how the music is distributed, the volume of the two music sources, as well as individually controlled music muting modes, are examples of the amount of control the Pilot has over his environment.

In addition to Nav 1 and Nav 2 audio capabilities, there are additional inputs.

They can be labeled using a unique alphanumeric name. This allows the Pilot to label these switched inputs precisely.

With a built-in 10 Watt-USB charger, it is capable of charging electronic devices, such as tablets, PDAs, iPhones, and iPads. The charger monitors the output and will automatically disconnect a short.

The PDA360EX is Plug ‘N Play with the GARMIN ® * GMA240 ™ and the

PMA5000EX. Upgrade time is negligible, helping to reduce the cost of upgrading.

WARRANTY

Engineering Dealer. After the warranty expires, a fixed repair fee will cover any report. See Warranty information in the Installation Manual.

Taking the designs we have created for our certified systems, PS Engineering designed an audio panel with plenty of capability but at an incredibly low price.

This panel was designed specifically for experimental and LSA owners.

Without the traditional functions such as Marker Beacon Receiver, Speaker

Amplifier, as well as avoiding the costs of certification, the PMA5000EX provides an unprecedented level of price/performance for the homebuilt.

Sporting a four-place IntelliVox ® hi-fi stereo intercom, the world-renown automatic

VOX makes inter-cockpit communications completely seamless. With two types of music distribution, four kinds of music muting, and with Softmute ™ technology, the PMA5000EX provides the flexibility that homebuilders are seeking.

Some experimental aircraft have a significantly higher cabin cockpit din than others, the PMA5000EX IntelliVox ® has a configurable “Extreme Noise Capability

Mode” making it unlikely that the IntelliVox would trigger prematurely.

The dedicated front panel volume control of music input #1 makes changing the entertainment volume level as easy as pushing up or down on the dedicated music buttons.

The Pilot can select between two music distribution modes. Standard music distribution sends music 1 to the Crew and music 2 Passengers. Alternate which sends music 1 to all headsets in ALL mode and when in Crew mode, music 2 turns on for the passengers.

The PMA5000EX has a new innovation from PS Engineering. Aux 1 and Aux 2 switched inputs can be turned on and off like traditional switched inputs, or with an additional push of the button, the selected audio goes off-line for 60 seconds. This function is useful in cases where the audio is an alert that has been recognized, but becomes annoying. After 60 seconds, the audio is restored.

A new “Monitor” (Mon) mode has been added. When selected, the audio from the Com receiver that is not selected for transmit will automatically mute when the selected primary radio audio becomes active. In this way, the Pilot may listen to AWOS on Com 2, but prevents the AWOS audio from interfering with the primary Com audio which is typically ATC.

The PMA5000EX is a direct replacement for the GMA240.*

Intercoms

When selecting an intercom, remember the ol’ adage “you get what you pay for.” The intercom is an integral part of your communication package, and cutting cost simply doesn’t make sense. Consider that the installation costs are practically the same regardless of what intercom you select. While a stereo intercom may take just a bit longer than a mono intercom to install, most of the cost of your intercom system will be in installation labor.

FAA certification is also more of an issue than it has ever been before. Be sure to check the requirements of FAA approval for your particular installation.

PM500EX – Entry level intercom for low noise environments. Single volume and squelch system.

PM1200 – Specialty intercom intended for use in open cockpit aircraft and extremely loud aircraft. Incorporates “AMP” and “IntelliVox ® “ circuits.

PM500EX

The PM500EX is a 4-place, panel mount unit designed as a basic intercom. It is intended for low noise environments and non-certified aircraft. It has both ISO and ALL intercom modes.

The volume control adjusts intercom volume and acts as the power switch. The single VOX (squelch) control adjusts the trip level for all microphones. When anyone speaks, the mic circuit opens. After a short delay, the circuit closes again, allowing the headset noise cancellation to be effective.

An entertainment input provides the Pilot and passengers the option to listen to music during flight. When the intercom is active, the music will mute allowing uninterrupted communications. Note: music not muted during radio reception.

PM500EX is not FAA certified - use for non-certificated aircraft only.

The PM1200 is designed for the noisiest of aircraft, including open cockpit and warbird aircraft. The Active Microphone Processor (AMP) uses emphasis and de-emphasis to strip much of the background noise out of the intercom audio.

The PM1200 provides both our IntelliVox ® auto-squelch and Push-to-talk intercom (PTT-ICS) so that when the cockpit noise is too high for VOX operation, a press of the Copilot’s volume control places the PM1200 into PTT-ICS mode.

And for those pilots who like to wear ear plugs while wearing headsets, the

PM1200 has the ability, when connected to a 24 volt system, of providing up to

120mW! Now that’s a lot of audio punch!

The PM1000II is a 4-place panel mounted intercom with VOX. Individual volume and squelch controls for the crew reduces the number of microphones that are on at any one time, reducing the din of the cockpit.

The standard PM1000II (11922) provides Pilot Isolate and All modes. The PM1000II with Crew (11920) has the additional capability of separating the passengers from the crew.

This design makes it easy to balance intercom, radio and music volume levels. And with Soft Mute © , the Pilot will never miss a radio call because the monaural music is automatically muted.

The PM3000 has its roots in the first available stereo intercom, the PM2000.

With audiophile stereo music sound, this panel mount provides high-quality intercom and aircraft radio audio, while Soft Mute © provides the Pilot the ability to select having the muting function turned on or off. This eliminates the need for constant changes in the stereo music when the aircraft radio becomes active.

The VOX in the PM3000 earned the reputation “Set it-Forget it, it’s the most forgettable intercom you’ll ever use.” The single VOX control sets the trip level for the Pilot, Copilot, and passengers microphones, reducing the number of microphones that are on at any one time.

The PM3000A (11932) has 2-unswitched audio inputs while the PM3000

Our sole mission is to invent better ways for pilots to communicate. It’s no wonder why PS Engineering has brought more audio control innovations to GA than any other company...period.

If these two guys hadn’t founded PS Engineering, the community

of pilots would probably still be waiting for the revolution to begin.

What sets PS Engineering apart from our competition is that we listen.

When you see innovation in audio, chances are, it is from PS Engineering.
