Hi everyone,
I've suffered two Bose X failures in the last 5 flight hours of my -6. These are the conventional dual plug models. Both exactly the same symptoms - after startup, I don the headset, and there is no audio, no functioning microphone, no sidetone. The ANR function is still working fine, however.
I plan to spend some time this weekend looking for any obvious causes. I expect to find perhaps stray voltage is getting to them, or a spike at some point. The avionics master, and thus the intercom, is never on at startup, and it's generally off before shutdown.
Intercom is a PS3000 wired for stereo only.
The headsets were each acquired used from VAF classifieds from different sellers, so they aren't sequential serial numbers or anything.
Has anyone experienced this failure mode? I suppose it's possible I've just won the cosmic lottery and there's nothing wrong with the wiring, but I am skeptical.
Thanks,
-jon
