Garmin's Audio Panel GMA 340 web site
The GMA 340 audio panel offers the latest in digital
features to reduce cockpit workload and improve communication.
Operate with Ease
GMA 340 features convenient, LED-illuminated button
controls for audio selection of both nav and com audio — as well as
split comm capability for pilot and co-pilot. Large buttons activate the
comm microphone and audios for up to three comm transceivers to simplify
cockpit workload. Split comm allows the pilot to transmit/receive on
Comm 1 and the co-pilot to transmit/receive on Comm 2.
Enjoy Host of Features
GMA 340 streamlines cockpit management. It provides
MASQ processing, which reduces ambient noise from the avionics inputs,
and it has special circuitry to de-emphasize cabin noise to enhance
communication in the cockpit. You can select speakers to monitor the
aircraft radios or make PA announcements. The 340 also provides comm
transmit indication and the three-light Marker Beacon receiver/indicator
with high or low sensitivity and SmartMute audio muting.
GMA 340 has two unswitched inputs for telephone
ringers, altitude alert warnings or other warning tones, so you'll never
miss an important incoming transmission. The 340 also includes a
six-place VOX intercom with three modes of isolation, dual stereo music
inputs and independent pilot, co-pilot and passenger volume control. In
fact, each microphone input has a dedicated VOX circuit to ensure that
only the active microphone is heard when squelch is broken.
GMA 340 is easy to install in the tightest aircraft
spaces. Operation is available in 14 or 28 volts without voltage
converters or dropping resistors. Installation is simplified with the
built-in intercom and marker beacon, and the GMA 340 also features photo
cell dimming of annunciators, pilot fail-safe mode connection to Comm 1
and FAA TSO approval.
