The Intercom That Set The Standard Sigtronics pioneered the voice activated intercom market in 1974 and continues to deliver value and performance today in the 4 or 6 place FAA TSO approved SPA-400 / 600 intercom series. With fail safe features that allow pilots to always hear the radio even if the intercom is off, and radio priority that assures ATC only hears the crew member transmitting, the SPA intercom series is the standard by which all others are judged.

Probably one of the best intercoms available. We installed one in an aircraft that was riddled with radio transmission complaints, and it fixed all issues between all headset varieties as well as transmission problems. Very good intercom

My original unit was fried by an electrical problem. Direct swap out fixed the issue. This unit works great, especially for the price.

Captain’s side kept cutting out last year and this year the co-pilot’s side kept cutting out. With the new Sigtronics intercom controller the issue was significantly reduced but on occasion the co-pilot’s side still cuts out. However there was significant improvement
