Overview

PMA6000B Audio Panel w/4-place mono intercom available with or without marker beacon receiver.

The PMA6000B holds both FAA TSO as well as EASA ETSO and was designed to be made easier to install because of a single 44-pin Sub-d connector.

PS Engineering has revolutionized audio control in general aviation airplanes. At that time, the original PMA6000 took the audio panel from a collection of switches added as an afterthought, to a multi-talented inter-system focal point for cockpit audio.

Radio selection, cockpit communications and even music were seamlessly combined in the modern audio control panel. The PMA6000-series set a benchmark for all GA audio panels that followed.

The next generation PMA6000B has been given the benefit of PS Engineering's 15 years of audio panel control design and manufacturing experiences. It offers a low cost alternative to the more capable audio panel product line that the industry has become to expect from such a focused driven company.

The PMA6000B combines an audio selector panel with a top-quality manually adjusted VOX intercom and a slew of features to enhance versatility and utility.

    Audio panel is really easy to install. Comes with mounting hardware so you dont need to buy new monadnock clip nuts. I did find that the tray was slightly bent so I had to adjust it by hand to reshape the rear retention holes for the back plate.

    I had a new 6000B w/marker beacon receiver installed in my P172D last May--couldn't justify the additional features of the more sophisticated PSE models. What a superb upgrade (previous was a used KA24 King)! The intercom function is much better than my old separate intercom--breaks the squelch easier, without the squelch breaking because of engine noise, making communication with passengers much easier. Being able to shut off the passengers is great, while they can still talk to one another. I had a pair of music jacks installed, one for the front seat and one for the back seat--this allows the back seaters to have their own music, if they wish. I plug in a portable XM radio, so that makes long solo cross countries much more pleasant, and with the automatic mute function, the music instantly shuts off so as not to block ATC calls.
