PS Engineering has been selected to provide the audio control for Honeywell's APEX integrated cockpit avionics suite.

The contract provides for the development and production of the KMA 29 Audio Control Panel, with production parts delivery beginning in 2005."The KMA 29 can be either a single or dual installation, and will offer PS Engineering, Inc.'s patented IntelliVOX for a 6-place intercom and stereo music inputs," said PS Engineering President Mark Scheuer.

Scheuer continues "This design is a culmination of the best engineering efforts and intense customer input- which took more than a year's worth of discussion. In the end we have a product that meets the customers' current and future requirements, based on a solid foundation of our experience with audio control and crew communications."In addition to the stereo intercom, the KMA 29 will accommodate five communications transceivers, with split capability, and including a duplex mode for AirCell or other telecommunications system.

PS Engineering will design, test and certify the KMA 29, and be the TSO approval holder/manufacturing company under a seven-year contract."Honeywell provided the human interface engineering," continues Scheuer," so the KMA 29 will be seamlessly integrated with the APEX look and feel. We brought the audio control protocols that we have perfected, and we worked together on the packaging. This was a team effort."

Founded in 1985, PS Engineering has become a leading manufacturer of general aviation intercoms and audio control systems. The company is a leader in retrofit avionics as well as original aircraft equipment installation.
