i am nearing the end of wiring my panel and powered the audio panel for the first time last night. the quality of the sound from the voice circuits is simply outstanding. music source play is so good it makes me feel like i have been flying with mud in my ears for years with my old intercom.
i have been mindful of potential interference from devices or wiring making it to the headsets and have not yet hooked up strobes or started the engine but will be closely searching for any stray sounds as equipment is powered... so far the sound coming into the headset is like a concert hall.
the 240 is pinned out the same as the 340 with two high density d-sub connectors; many pins are not used and i am using so few pins that high density ones sure are not needed. the high density pins are really quiet small and are a bit of a hassle to work with since you can only stuff a 22 gauge wire in, and that with a steady hand and close concentration.
today i am going to wrap up the wiring and test out the telephone interface.
i am quite impressed with this unit, full stereo with full 20hz-20khz frequency response with 3 dedicated stereo sources (2 wired and one panel), a dedicated telephone interface, more comm, nav, aux, and alert connections than you can dream up, all in a package that does not need to penetrate the sub-panel so it can be mounted very high in the panel... nice!
unless you have your heart set on a marker beacon this unit is perfect for a modern experimental with an impressive price point.
