Figure 3.6 Audiocom® based training intercom system.

The training system consists of an instructor and multiple two-student crews.

In the case of Audiocom, each of the six two-student groups are independently addressable by the instructor. When the student groups are not talking to the instructor, each two- student group can have semi-private conversations. The call light tells the instructor which group is paging. The balanced Audiocom system is ideal in hostile electrical noise environments.

Power Supplies: SPS2001 and PS4001.

Instructor’s Station: US2002 and Expansion Station.

Students’ Stations: BP1002 Single Channel Belt Packs.

Instructor’s Headset: PH-1, Single muff headset.

Students’ Headsets: PH-2, Double muff headsets.

Cables: Standard Microphone Cables with XLR-3 connectors. One cable per channel.
