--> Avionics-List message posted by: MikeEasley@aol.com
I am wiring my own panel with a UPSAT SL15M audio panel with 2 unswitched
audio inputs.=A0 I have an AOA, EDM900, TruTrak Autopilot, and a Davtron that
all need to be connected to an unswitched audio input.=A0 PS Engineering said,
"Use a dropping resistor from 100 to 460 ohms on each feed and hook two up to
each input".=A0 UPSAT said, "It can't be done, pick two".=A0 TruTrak said, "Just
hook all 4 up, it won't hurt a thing".=A0 Anyone else care to cast a vote!!!
Thanks,

PS Engineering designed the SL-15 and they're right. Actually, both PS
Engineering and Tru Trak are right. The PS Engineering solution is more
elegant and allows you to tailor the volume of the various audio sources by
adjusting resistor values. You'll need this because the power coming from
the various sources won't be the same. At headset levels, there's no need
for amplifier protection. UPSAT was just doing a CYA (after all, it's their
warranty you'll be claiming on if something gets messed up).
