Avee Sony XM3 Setup Instructions & User Manual

Problem solving
1. Bad ATC reception – reading you two
The most common problem for fresh aviators, is that the microphone is placed too far away
from the mouth. This makes the intercom and radio pick up little or no audio from you, and
this will of course lead to problems. Keep the microphone approx. 6mm from your mouth
at all times – and let the flat side & white dot face your mouth.
A good basic rule is that when you hear yourself well in the intercom, ATC and other
aircrafts hear you well. However – the aircraft intercom and the radio are usually two
separate and independent systems and they behave differently.
2. Intercom squelch setting.
On most GA aircrafts intercoms, the squelch is set manually.
If the first part of the word is clipped – or the intercom squelch is not opening at all – this
must be corrected by adjusting the squelch threshold in the aircraft.
3. Audio in left ear only:
The Avee microphone is set to stereo mode. Set to mono mode to fix this issue.

Setup Instructions & User Guide
Tusen takk (which is thank you in Norwegian ) – for purchasing the Avee aviation
microphone ! We hope it gives you as much joy flying with it – as it gives us
designing it - and flying with it!
In this leaflet we will show you how to prepare and connect the Avee microphone

How to prepare your headphones
The Avee microphone is using an adhesive magnetic
stripe to attach safely to your Bose or Sony

Avee microphone from the headphone in seconds,
and the Avee microphone stays safely in place
whenever it is connected to the headphones.
Please follow these instructions to install the magnetic stripe properly to your
headphones. You can also scan the QR-code in the upper left corner of this page
to get a video on how to do it.
Step 1: Using the cleaning wipe supplied, clean the base of your headphones
including the area surrounding the input jack. Ensure that you remove any
residue that is adhered to the headphones. Let dry for a minute or two.
