Stereo Intercom Recommendations?

Hi Jesse, thanks for the kind words. I would like to point out that the PM3000A has a unswitched-unmuted input. This is the same kind of input that the Dynon intercom has. While an intercom does not perform audio panel functions, if you wish to perform the same kind of external switching that is required to make the Dynon intercom work for switching radio audio, it can be accomplished equally as well.

Remember, the Dynon does not have a Pilot Isolate switch, a function that I think any pilot who is flying with a non-pilot, might consider to be almost a requirement. (Think Young Eagle Flights).

I removed a Sigtronics 200S for the PM3000 and never looked back. Their intercoms are very robust, easy to install and having TWO unswitched audio inputs can be very handy. Also, the squelch knob actually works like you would expect!

Over the years I've installed a dozen or so of several brands. I agree with several earlier posters. The best are PS intercoms along with their derivative audio panels.

I recently installed two Dynons. They have the nice feature of two com audio inputs along with three aux inputs (Skyview, muted and non muted). Makes it real easy to wire a very functional audio panel setup with only two or three inexpensive DP switches.

Thanks Steve for correcting me!

There are two unswitched-unmuted inputs. Something to keep in mind is that unswitched-unmuted input 1 continues to be heard by the pilot while in Fail-safe mode so the pilot will continue to hear Com 1 and what ever audio source that is connected to unswitched-unmuted input 1 in failsafe.

The 2 unswitched-unmuted input, Pilot Isolate and the legendary "Set It and Forget It" VOX should give pilots a couple of reasons to look deeper into the PM3000A capability.

Thanks again Steve, I think I'm getting rusty!

Been flying with the Dynon for 7 months and its been great!
