The Audio Control Panel (ACP) is the other component. It has knobs or buttons that enable selection of the “radio box” to be used for reception, the volume of the reception, whether the reception is through a speaker or a headset, the “radio box” to be used for transmission, and the microphone to be used for transmission.
With system audio control, you may use the TV remote to adjust the volume and mute setting of an amplifier or sound bar that is HDMI-connected and to show the status of the external device in your TV’s on-screen display.
The global Aircraft Audio Control Panel (ACP) system market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
The new Digital Audio Control System (DACS), an intercom system created for light twin, medium, and heavy helicopters, is proudly announced by Northern Airborne Technology Ltd. (NAT).
The DACS communications management system can distribute and manage all audio to and from all transceivers, receivers, and audio warning sources in an aircraft.
The integrated multichannel intercom system and programmable user definition enable the audio system to be adjusted to accommodate unique communication protocols for each client.
The system’s key elements are the Audio Control Panels (ACP51, ACP53, and ACP54), the Audio Management Unit (AMU50), the Remote Memory (RM01), and the optional Passenger Intercom Amplifier (PIA01). The Audio Management Unit is the system’s main component.
There are up to eight transceivers, eight receivers, up to six direct audio inputs, up to six audio control panels, and one passenger intercom amplifier connected to it.
All radio audio is distributed to each user and the passenger intercom amplifier by the audio management unit. The Audio Management Unit can accommodate connections for seven headsets (basic configuration is two crew and five passengers).
Each passenger headset has the option of being allocated to a particular ACP, which transforms the traveller into a fully functional crewmember.
An ACP can have many headsets associated to it. To prevent the loss of the complete system due to a breakdown of one component, the system design is a “star” arrangement (separate serial connections to each Audio Control Panel and Passenger Intercom Amplifier).
