MIL-spec cable as shown. Connect the shields at the audio panel end only, and tie to the audio low inputs
as shown.
NOTE
The intercom harness can be custom made by PS Engineering, Inc. Simply call the factory or www.ps-
engineering.com to obtain a wire harness work sheet. The harness will be made to your specifications and
fully functionally tested. Harness can be ordered with jack, or without the intercom jacks installed, for easi-
er wire routing through the aircraft.
2.6.1 Entertainment Inputs
The PMA8000G has two INDEPENDENT music inputs, input number 1 is J2 pins 23 (left channel) and 24
(right channel), with respect to pin 25, and Entertainment number 2 is connected to 26 (left channel), 27
(right channel), with respect to 28.
PMA8000G has wireless connectivity to stream music from a paired Bluetooth device. This stream is dis-
tributed as Music 1. Refer to §3.11.3 for more information.
NOTE
Use the low level output of any additional entertainment device to connect to the au-
dio panel. Maximum signal level is 3 VAC p-p. DO NOT use a speaker-level output,
this will cause internal damage in the audio panel.
2.6.2 Music Distribution (DISTR)
Music distribution will be controlled by the MUSIC button. A long press (>1 second) will cycle through
the positions below with a voice letting you know what mode the PMA8000G is in.
1. Music #1 All Headsets – everyone hears music #1/Bluetooth
2. Music #1 Pilot- Pilot will hear Music#1 or Bluetooth. Copilot and passengers hear music #2
3. Standard Music Distribution- Pilot & Copilot hear Music#1 or Bluetooth. Passengers will hear
music#2
2.6.3 Entertainment muting
The PMA8000G incorporates a three-mode "Soft Mute™" system. This will mute the
entertainment devices during ICS and/or radio conversation. See Section 3.8 for more
information.
Press the MUTE switch to activate the three Karaoke modes (disabling crew
SoftMute™). Turning down the entertainment volume allows the pilot to place the enter-
tainment into the background while having the radios in the foreground and eliminates
the constant interruption of the music while still keeping the radios a priority.
CAUTION
Local oscillators and internal signals from entertainment equipment can cause undesired interference with
other aircraft systems. Before takeoff, operate the entertainment devices to determine if there is any adverse
effect within the aircraft systems. If any unusual operation is noted in flight, immediately switch off the
entertainment devices.
All additional entertainment devices must be switched off for both takeoff and landing.
2.6.3.1 Pilot Music on/off and in ISO intercom Mode
The (MUSIC) button will allow music to be added or removed from the pilot’s headset quickly, with a
short press, in any intercom mode.
When the PMA8000G is switched to ISO intercom mode, music is automatically removed from the pilot
audio. However, if desired, music can be added by pushing the MUSIC button.
Once the music is activated while in the ISO mode then it will stay that way until the pilot manually re-
moves it or cycles power to the audio panel.
