Section 1 Description
1.1 Introduction
Information in this section consists of the functional and operational procedures for the
AA12S Series Compact Audio Controllers.
The information in this manual is applicable to all models unless otherwise specified.
1.2 General Information
The AA12S is a compact Dzus-mounted audio controller with an integral 4-place stereo
voice-activated intercom. It provides intercom capabilities for the pilot, co-pilot and two
passengers (PAX). The AA12S accepts stereo music inputs from either portable or
fixed entertainment systems to produce high quality stereo headset output.
Radio functions include selectable transmit capability for pilot and co-pilot on 3 COM
radios and a PA. Receive audio selections include COM1, COM2, COM3, MKR, NAV,
ADF, and DME.
1.2.1 Features
All four mics have individual VOX gating. Each gate may also be activated with the
corresponding ICS keyline.
ICS muting is automatic during radio transmission.
The unit is supplied to suit a standard NAT bidirectional ICS audio TIE line for multi-unit
interface (configuration dependent). The crew and PAX are always connected except in
the case of Pilot ISO mode, when the pilot is disconnected from the ICS tie line.
If required, one or more receiver audio inputs may be configured at the factory prior to
ordering as (an) unswitched Direct Audio input(s). A new part number may be
assigned. Contact NAT Product Support for further information.
