For optimum microphone performance, PS Engineering recommends installation of a Microphone Muff
Kit from Oregon Aero (1-800-888-6910). This will not only optimize VOX performance, but will improve
the overall clarity of all your communications.

3.6.2 Intercom Volume Control
The volume control knob adjusts the loudness of the intercom for the pilot and copilot only. It has no effect
on selected radio levels, music input levels or passengers' volume level.
Adjust the radios and intercom volume for a comfortable listening level for the pilot. Most general aviation
headsets today have built-in volume controls; therefore, passenger volume can be adjusted at the headset. If
desired, passenger volume level can be adjusted by a screwdriver adjustment at the top of the tray (see fig-
ure 2-1).
3.6.2.1 Mono headsets in Stereo Installation
All passenger headsets are connected in parallel. Therefore, if a monaural headset is plugged in to a
PMA7000CD Stereo installation, one channel will be shorted. Although no damage to the unit will occur,
all passengers will lose one channel, unless they switch to the “MONO” mode on the headset. PS
Engineering modifies headsets to add stereo capability, using high-fidelity speakers. Contact factory for
details.
3.6.3 Intercom Modes
The lower switch on the left side is a 3-position mode switch that allows the pilot to tailor the intercom
function to best meet the current cockpit situation. The description of the intercom mode function is valid
only when the unit is not in the "Split" mode. Then, the pilot and copilot intercom is controlled with the
ICS button.
I SO : (Up Position): The pilot is isolated from the intercom and is connected only to the aircraft radio sys-
tem. He will hear the aircraft radio reception (and sidetone during radio transmissions). Copilot will hear
passengers’ intercom and Entertainment 1, while passengers will hear copilot intercom and Entertainment
2. Neither will hear aircraft radio receptions or pilot transmissions.
A LL : (Middle Position): All parties will hear the aircraft radio and intercom. Crew will hear Entertainment
1, passengers will hear Entertainment 2. During any radio or intercom communications, the music volume
automatically decreases. The music volume increases gradually back to the original level after communica-
tions have been completed.
