Our sole mission is to invent better ways for pilots to communicate. It’s no wonder
why PS Engineering has brought more audio control innovations to GA than any other
company...period.
In 1985, two electrical engineers, one a Pilot the other a circuit
designer, found themselves wondering when the revolution would
come to the field of audio control. At the time, aircraft intercoms
and audio panels had seen virtually no improvement in over a
decade. With new digital circuitry and technologies, they believed it
was time for the revolution to begin.
Because of our many years of experience in designing and manufacturing
audio control systems, many other avionics manufacturers have relied on
PS Engineering to design and build their audio panels to complete their avionics suite. Considering the
entire fleet of private aircraft (GA, LSA, Experimental) it’s wouldn’t be surprising to think that more than half
of those airplanes have one type or another of a PS Engineering manufactured product.
If these two guys hadn’t founded PS Engineering, the community
of pilots would probably still be waiting for the revolution to begin.
PS Engineering has been the source for virtually every major
cockpit audio innovation in the field of audio panels:
n
First to provide BlueTooth
®
integration
n
First to implement the USAF patented technology Patent no.
7,391,877
n
First to provide true hands-free VOX system, the IntelliVox
®
Patent no. 6,493,450
n
First to provide individually adjustable VOX circuitry
n
First to use digital signal processing to record aircraft radio for
playback in the cockpit, known as the IRS
n
First to provide an integrated aural warning system into an
audio panel
n
First to provide Swap capability, Patent no. 5,903,227; 6,160,496
n
First to fully integrate music with Soft Mute technology,
allowing flexible music control. Patent no. 4,941,187
n
First to introduce an FAA approved stereo audio panel with
intercom and marker beacons, all in the same unit
n
First to introduce AMP
™
, (Active Microphone Processor) a
system that removes noise from the microphone.
Using the latest technologies and the highest level of quality control, PS Engineering manufactures all of its products
in the United States, to the most exacting standards. MADE IN THE USA means something to us.
What sets PS Engineering apart from our competition is that we listen.
Good ideas and PS Engineering go hand in hand. We travel around the country, to air shows and avionics shops,
asking questions on how we can improve our systems. We aim to be the most approachable, most responsive avionics
manufacturer in the world.
When you see innovation in audio, chances are, it is from PS Engineering.
Flying Never Sounded So Good

King Air
IntelliVox
®
PS Engineering’s revolutionary IntelliVox
®
intercom
squelch protocol harnesses the computational
power of microprocessors, and eliminates
complicated squelch adjustments. In addition, by
using independent, automatic microphone squelch
circuits, extraneous cabin noise is minimized.
IntelliVox
®
means that the system will always be
optimized, tailoring itself for different microphones,
as well as variations in voice and sound levels in the
cockpit. With IntelliVox
®
you’ll have seamless and
clear communications.
IntelliAudio
®
Using patented technology licensed from the Air
Force Research Laboratory at Wright Patterson
AFB, IntelliAudio
®
places multiple audio sources
in positions within stereo headsets. These
dimensional sound locations allow the Pilot
to more easily focus on a particular radio
conversation of interest.
ProSupport
™
All of our audio panels include PS Engineering’s
ProSupport Warranty. Depending upon the
audio panel installed, the unit will come with
either a 1, 2, or 3 year guarantee that if the unit
was installed by an authorized PS Engineering
Dealer or a custom wire harness was purchased
from PS Engineering, a warranty exchange unit
will be shipped the same day of the issuance of
an RMA.
Why so many audio panels?
The reason we designed all these audio panels wasn’t to confuse our customers;
but rather to provide solutions to match our customers’ needs. We recognized
early on that one size does not fit all.
Certified
PAR200A – World’s first audio selector panel that functions as a hi-fi stereo intercom
with Bluetooth
®
and controls a remote mounted Com radio.
PMA450 – A slide-in replacement for the GARMIN* GMA340 and the PMA8000 series,
this Digital Audio Selector Panel provides IntelliAudio
®
Dimensional Sound, 6-place
IntelliVox
®
and hi-fi stereo with Bluetooth
®
interface.
PMA4000 – A small form-factor was the design goal for this little jewel. Capable of
being panel mounted like an intercom or in a 2¼” round instrument hole, the PMA4000
also provides a four-place mono intercom with IntelliVox
®
and speaker amplifier.
PMA6000B – Low cost solution. This is the only audio panel we know that includes an
intercom and a marker beacon receiver selling for less than $1095.
PMA7000 Series – Pin-compatible to the KMA24, these audio panels incorporate
IntelliVox
®
and enhanced capabilities such as full duplex wireless telephone, and
audiophile stereo music inputs. Three systems to choose from.
PMA8000 Series – Designed as plug-and-play with the GARMIN* GMA340, this audio
panel includes a complete feature set with digital recorder, front panel configuration
control, and monitor mode.
PAC24 – This specialty audio panel is suitable for special mission use, such as police/
rescue/fire patrol, and includes provisions for observer position. Single and dual systems
available.

Experimental
PDA360EX – The fundamental advantage of the PDA360EX over conventional audio panels for the homebuilt aircraft is that is uses
the same technology as its big brother, the PMA450.
PMA5000EX – This “Experimental Only” audio panel has the capabilities homebuilders demand as well as some new innovations.
Price/Performance was the goal and this panel delivers in both sectors. The PMA5000EX will find itself operating comfortably from
Light Sport Aircraft to RVs.
