The PMA8000 is an audio selector panel for two VHF coms (including our split mode), a dedicated cellular telephone interface, a 6-place IntelliVox® stereo intercom with dual independent music inputs, and an internal marker beacon receiver with 3-light indicator.
This new audio panel is the direct result of customer demand. Pilots want the performance and benefits afforded by the very popular PMA7000-series, but the time and expense for an upgrade can be daunting. So PS Engineering, Inc. designed the PMA8000 to be a true plug-and-play replacement for the GARMIN GMA340.
Having a cosmetic look that blends-in with a GARMIN stack, the integrated bezel and tactile push-button control will place it right at home with these very popular communications and navigation systems. The patented IntelliVox® automatic intercom squelch system eliminates all of the traditional knobs or push buttons. Using digital processing, the system determines if the microphone is picking up voice, or aircraft noise. It opens instantly when voice is detected. This makes conversations seamless, even in a noisy aircraft.
Through the use of a front panel control, the pilot can select the popular Karaoke mode, allowing the music to play continuously without constant interruptions, allowing the pilot to place the music in the background while having the radios in the foreground.
The full duplex TEL mode in the PMA8000 allows the pilot to access a hands free cellular telephone, where appropriate, through the audio panel and headset. Various front panel intercom configurations allow anyone in the aircraft to be placed on the cell phone, while the crew also remains connected to the communications radios.
