System Overview
The J301A-001 audio controller is a centralized management system that distributes and controls transceiver,
receiver and warning source audio for one user in an aircraft. It enables the selected transmission of microphone
audio to a transceiver and connects to the intercom audio bus.

NAV1 receiver and all Direct Audio.
The J301A-001 is set up on a per-installation basis using a configuration cable and a PC running the product
configuration tool to download system configuration settings via the front panel music / configuration connector.
