Section I – GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The PMA8000D represents another evolutionary step in cockpit audio control and intercommunications
utility. Using our patented IntelliVox® design, front panel utility jack, and pilot programmable configura-
tions, this marks the next level of audio control. The unit is designed for outstanding ergonomics and visual-
ly defined mode annunciation and selection. The PMA8000D is specifically designed to be used in a dual
audio panel environment; where the pilot and copilot positions have independent control over the radio au-
dio control. The PMA8000D units communicate information between the units to make the operation logi-
cal and utilitarian, and avoid operations that are inconsistent with radio and cockpit communication practic-
es.
Before installing and/or using this product, please read this manual completely. This will ensure that you
will take full advantage of all the advanced features in the PMA8000D.

1.3 EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
The PMA8000D is a state-of-the-art audio isolation amplifier and audio selector that contains an automatic
voice activated (VOX) intercom system and integral marker beacon receiver. It can switch three transceiv-
ers (COM 1, COM 2, COM 3) and six receivers (NAV 1, NAV 2, ADF, AUX (DME), and MKR.
The PMA8000D was designed specifically for installations requiring Dual Audio Panels, because the pri-
mary audio panel sends status information to the secondary audio panel to prevent undesirable operation
modes such as simultaneous transmission on the same radio by both crew members, and primary control
over the intercom modes.
A full duplex cellular telephone interface allows the PMA8000D to act as an audio connection between
aircraft headphone and microphones and specific aircraft approved (FAA/FCC) cellular telephone equip-
ment, through the front mounted jack, or with the Bluetooth® interface.
