Mid Continent Controls offers a simple, cost effective means of keeping your passengers and cabin occupants informed with our Public Address Audio Amplifier. Extremely easy to install and operate, our amp features one "mono" PA input and one "mono" output with a fixed gain. The audio input is equipped with an audio isolation transformer and features a power output rating of 5W RMS into 4ohms. Connections and interface with the aircraft are made via a simple 9-pin DSUB mounted on the amplifier.
Our Public Address Audio Amplifier has also received Technical Standard Order (TSO) authorization from the FAA. TSO is a performance standard issued by the Administration for specified materials, parts, processes, and appliances used on civil aircraft. Our amplifier has met the requirements for TSO C50c regarding "Audio Selector Panels and Amplifiers."
