The GMA 347 is FAA TSO approved to C50c and C35d Class A, and ETSO approved to C50c and
2C35d (pending). A marker beacon receiver with dual sensitivity and audio muting with automatic re-
arming is included in the unit. Operating voltage range is from 11 to 33 volts.
The GMA 347 provides two stereo auxiliary entertainment inputs; MUSIC 1 and MUSIC 2. Two 3.5 mm
stereo phone jacks should be installed in a convenient location for this purpose. These inputs are
compatible with popular portable entertainment devices such as MP3 and CD players. The headphone
outputs of these devices are plugged into the MUSIC 1 or MUSIC 2 jacks.
Only the pilot and copilot hear MUSIC 1. MUSIC 2 is a non-muted input heard only by the passengers.
MUSIC 1 and MUSIC 2 characteristics are affected by the active intercom mode. Refer to the GMA 347
pilot’s manual for details.
MUSIC 1 is soft-muted when an interruption occurs from an aircraft radio. Soft muting is the gradual
return of MUSIC 1 to its original volume level. MUSIC 1 can also be configured to mute during ICS
activity. MUSIC 2 is a non-muted input.
