Hi all, just wondering about the advantage if any of having a stereo input to the
audio system. Considering the ambient noise level in an RV, is stereo noticeable
and worth the added cost?
Thanks

Oh, it is MOST definitely worth having stereo. If you are any sort of
audiophile -- that is, you can actually tell the difference between mono and
stereo -- then I highly recommend installing a stereo input. I've used an
ipod & now an XM Roady 2 in my RV and it really kicks butt. Using the
GMA-340 with its 20dB boost enabled and listening through Lightspeed
headsets that I have (25XL and 20XL), the sound quality is excellent
considering its in an airplane with tiny headset speakers. I personally
wouldn't be happy with monaural sound.
Something else to consider... I originally wired up a single 1/8" stereo
jack under the panel (wired into the entertainment input in my audio panel).
That worked, but I'm not a fan of wires in the cockpit -- and it's not very
conducive to "expansion" of the system. When it came time to install my XM
radio "permanently," I went ahead and installed a 4-circuit terminal strip.
Shield, left, right, ground, wired to the audio panel. The 1/8" stereo jack
hooks up at the terminal strip, as does the permanent XM installation. If I
ever want to add some other audio device in the future, I just wire it to
the terminal strip. No need to do surgery on my audio panel harness. I'm
sure there are more elegant ways of doing this, but this works for me.
Hope this helps,
