Trevor, I refitted my panel a couple of years back with a G5 Touch
system and all the bells and whistles. It needed an audio panel to blend
all the inputs but I didn't want to make room on the panel for a surface
mounted one. It was a relief, planning wise and financially when my
electronic guru recommended the Gretz Aero audio mixer, available from
Aircraft Spruce for a mere 160 dollars. No voltage reducer needed. It
fits inside the panel readily accessible(for initial set up) behind my
right hand removable sub panel. It has worked faultlessly since.

Thanks David,
This looks perfect functionally - great to hear you had reliable service.
Just a couple of further questions...
What radio do you have that it feeds into ? I have read that the XCOM760 does not
work properly unless with an aircraft audio panel - something to do with impedance
.... or do you feed the radio INTO the Gretz and then from the Gretz to
the headset ?
The "range" of input/outputs suggest that it can do both.
I guess the downside would be if everything goes through the Gretz and then to
the headset, then if it fails, I would lose the radio also ...
Thanks again, this is exactly the kind of thing I was looking for... I also have
no panel space !
Regards
Trevor

Trevor< I am embarrassed to say that I found myself with about 20,000
surplus insurance money to play with after my take off incident had
resulted in a technical write off of my plane and Nev Eyre (bless him)
and Ivan Shaw had masterminded an inexpensive means of repairing the
broken bodywork. So I bought a dream panel. based around the G3X Touch
with G5 back up, three axis autopilot, full ADSB etc. The radio is a
Garmin GNC255 nav/com. There were five inputs into the audio panel -
radio, SmartAss, transponder, EFIS and Nav, but space for lots more. The
combined output goes to the headsets. I wouldn't worry about the
reliability aspect - I think the components are mostly simple resistors
that should have a near infinite life expectation. On top of that I see
in the blurb that it says it is possible to arrange to have fail safe
connection to your primary (radio) source.
Best of luck, David

Just a small point,
Whilst the units are still available from Aircraft Spruce, the company's web site
is gone and the emails to info@gretzaero.com bounce.
Do you know of another contact for the company ?

Hi Trevor,
Whilst I cannot endorse this product, it has been used successfully to
mix, balance & amplify audio sources.
