PS Engineering Audio Panel w/ 6 Place Built-in Stereo Intercom, Marker, and CD/MP3 Player

The PMA7000-CD combines a version of the PMA7000MS and PCD7100 to create an extremely versatile audio panel with a remote-mounted compact disc player. The single-disk player is controlled by the PMA7000MS-CD, eliminating the pushbuttons on the CD player itself. This reduces panel space requirements by 25%, not to mention costs. To make room for the CD controls, the rotary switch was eliminated in favor of a push button transceiver  selector. It also sports the controls for the compact disk player. The archaic DME and ADF buttons were also dropped (although the audio inputs are still functional).

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 PMA7000-CD retains the dual independent music sources. These can be paralleled to the PCD7100-R if desired.

The telecommunications distribution in the PMA7000-CD has also been improved by adding a full-duplex interface to aviation-standard impedance. This allows distribution of AirCell and GARMIN's Pilot Navtalk 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 PMA7000-CD now has four un-switched and un-muted inputs. This adds flexibility when installed with today's advanced warning systems, like Skywatch or TAWS.
