Responding to the Special Mission Community, PS Engineering is pleased to announce the availability of a dual control head to work with the PAC45 Special Mission Digital Audio Control System

The PAC45D system allows the flight crew easy access to critical mission audio from a central controller. This meets the operational requirements of many agencies, such as the US Forest Service.

“We had many conversations with industry leaders and system users, in shops completion centers and at trade shows. We asked them what we should do next. The consensus was unanimous, they needed a dual control head. Now PS Engineering has what they need.”

Greg Ledbetter, PAC45 Program Specialist, PS Engineering

Like all PAC45 series, the PAC45D includes MutliTalker®. This licensed, patented (USAF -Wright Patterson Laboratory) audio processing presents mission-critical audio in different apparent locations around the flight crew, enabling them to easily distinguish conversations that are important at any instant. The ability to listen to the radio that is important at any instant in time reduces cockpit workload. As a dual control head, the CTL45D can be configured with the Pilot
on the left or right side of the aircraft. The front panel nomenclature is fully customizable, lending itself to the specification mission avionics.

The audio control hub can be attached to the panel unit or remotely mounted. In any case, the audio connections do not need to be routed around the aircraft, there is one central location greatly simplifying installation. The PAC45 is also backward compatible with many legacy audio systems.

Far more functional than just a dual controller, the PAC45D has the same sophistication as the PAC45, including:
