This section provides detailed operating instructions for the PS Engineering PAC45, Audio Selector Panel/Intercom Systems. Please read it carefully before using the equipment so that you can take full advantage of its capabil- ities. This section is divided into sections covering the basic operating areas of the PAC45 systems.
Communications Transmit (XMT) Selection The PAC45 has a rotary control knob to select communications transceiver functions. To select a transceiver for transmit; turn the knob to select the desired radio from the six available. The radio is automatically selected to receive in- coming radio calls when the XMT is selected.
This adjustment allows the six Spatial Audio inputs to be “relocated” on any of nine (9) pre-defined “Head Related Transfer Function” (HTRF) lo- cations. MultiTalker™ places the communications receiver audio in one of nine apparent locations in the crew’s headset. This has been scientifically shown to allow the brain to focus on multiple conversations and improve compre- hension for the listener.
This is normal. For optimum microphone performance, PS Engineering recommends instal- lation of a Microphone Muff Kit from Oregon Aero (1-800-888-6910). This will not only optimize VOX performance, but will improve the overall clar- ity of all your communications.
Monaural headsets The pilot and copilot positions work with stereo or mono headsets. Howev- er, MultiTalker will not be presented correctly unless stereo headsets are used, and oriented correctly on the head, left and right. NOTE: For the full effect of MultiTalker™ Dimensional Sound, stereo headsets must be used, and the left/right orientation observed.

Bluetooth® connection The PAC45 has a internal Bluetooth module, no external boxes required. The audio controller is always “discoverable,” so you just need to search for the PAC45 from your Bluetooth-equipped phone or music source. Default access code is not required. Once the PAC45 has been “paired” with your Bluetooth device, the TEL distribution will act as described below.
