The Basics
Expandable, stereo and portable – AVCOMM’s new
AC-2EX may possibly be the only intercom you will ever
need! Measuring a mere 5.1" by 2.85", the AC-2EX is
designed to produce powerful communications you can
depend on. The compact design makes it easy to carry in
your flight bag, a feature pilots who rent aircraft will
especially appreciate. Need four positions? Simply add the
AC-2XM module to accommodate additional passengers.
Features and Benefits
Constructed of rugged ABS plastic, the AC-2EX is built to
withstand the extremes a typical portable intercom
encounters. Inside, a streamlined circuit board features
ceramic hybrid IC chips for high reliability. The front panel
features a logical layout that is easy to read with controls
grouped conveniently above the battery compartment. For
battery powered operation, simply open the easy-access
battery compartment on the front panel and add two 9 volt
batteries (one is required but two prolongs life).
The AC-2EX is compatible with either 12 or 28 volt electrical
systems and connects securely with AVCOMM’s
unique "positive-lock" powercord. If the power supply to the
intercom is lost, the intercom automatically
switches to battery back-up power.
The Details
An integrated circuit allows you to use mono or stereo headsets.
A two stage LED displays a green light when the power is on and
yellow during radio transmission making a ‘stuck mic’ easy to spot.
The voice-activated squelch circuit (VOX) adjusts to a broad range of
noise environments or can be set for a continuous open-mic condition.
On the front panel there is a convenient push-to-talk button for the
pilot. It has a pilot-priority feature to allow the pilot to override the
co-pilot transmissions. Pilot isolate (ISO) provides exclusive pilot
communications with the ATC, and the ‘fail-safe’ feature supplies a
direct connection to the aircraft radio in case the power supply to the
intercom is disrupted. The AC-2EX is equipped with a music-in jack
for in-flight entertainment with automatic muting during intercom or radio
activity (cable included). Add an audio recorder and with the record out
feature, you can record ATC transmissions or cockpit conversations.
AVCOMM’s AC-2EX is a powerful, full featured, easy to expand,
mono-stereo intercom. Full three-year factory warranty.
