My current intercom is a Pilot PA 400 4-place portable. I have used it for the
last 7 years and it works well for its price. It works with all mine and my friend's headsets, has good volume. Once the squelch is adjusted, it does not clip the first syllable from every word. There is some very minor distortion but radio communications are always loud and clear. My only complaint is that background noise comes through mikes when anyone speaks. I only connect headsets with occupants to the intercom, and most times only 2 headsets are connected. My reason is that 2 connected headsets would have only 50% of noise of 4 connected headsets because the single squelch circuit opens all connected mikes when the squelch breaks. I read a lot of good reports on PSE 7000 audio panel and its built-in IntelliVox intercom. Most reports say wonderful thing about its intercom. The spec sheet says only the spoken mike is open, therefore noise is reduced. If I update to a PSE IntelliVox intercom, can I expect a 50% reduction in noise because only 1 mike will be open vs. at less 2 mikes open at the same time on PA-400? I do not need a new audio panel, and I prefer portable to panel mount intercom. How does PSE's Aerocom III portable intercom w/IntelliVox compare with its top of the line 7000's intercom? FlightTech also makes a 4-place portable with its electronic noise reduction (ENRI) intercoms feature. My understanding of ENRI is that all mikes are open at all times and there is no squelch circuit, but the ENRI electronically reduce all background noise from all mikes at all times. Isn't it a totally opposite concept to PSE's IntelliVox design? Has anyone used FlightTech's ENRI product? How does it compare with IntelliVox and regular intercom with squelch? Thanks for any comments, Robin Hou |

I have the new 7000b audio panel from PS engineering, its a awsome audio panel, I dont have any noise in my head sets. No distortion, no bleed over, no humming sounds, nothing.

Robin,
Well, I don't know about percentages, but the difference is striking. How does PSE's Aerocom III portable intercom w/IntelliVox compare with its top of the line 7000's intercom? Exact same electronics in the portable. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |

Robin, you might want to try some different headsets. I've got an old Telex single-squelch intercom, similar to yours. When I use it with my headsets, the background noise is quite reasonable. I have one friend who insists on using his old headset. When he plugs in, his headset picks up such an inordinate amount of background noise that it makes conversation almost impossible. With the single squelch intercom I have, whenever anyone talks his mic is open, so we all get drowned out. When I can get him to use one of my headsets, the problem goes away. -- Aaron Coolidge (N9376J) |
