The new XCOM Intercom is a state-of-the-art,
digitally controlled, intercom system suitable for nearly every two
or four place aircraft. The XCOM Intercom features a full VOX
(Voice Activated) intercom with second com ability, music input
with muting and the ability to use different branded headsets
without compatibility issues and its half the price of comparable
intercoms.
The XCOM Intercom was originally designed for the Microair,
Filser, Dittel and Becker aircraft radios but it has now been
successfully mated to the leading handhelds as well as
panel-mounted Icom, Narco, King and the like. Measuring only 2 1/8
x 1 x 3 7/8 inches or (53 x 24 x 100mm) and with a panel size of
only 1 x 2 1/8 (53 x 24mm), it's one of the smallest and lightest
intercoms in the world and only draws 60 ma (at 14 V) during
operation.
The XCOM Intercom has no voice clipping; it's truly instant
on/slow off. Nothing is lost in conversation between the pilot and
passengers and the digital voice control provides clear and crisp
communication at all times. The XCOM Intercom monitors and reduces
background noise when the voice circuit is open and the noise in
the cockpit is greatly reduced during conversation or
transmission.
The XCOM Intercom is manufactured in Australia under ISO 9002
quality control. Made from tough ABS plastic, it is electronically
shielded from engine noise and interference, especially from noisy
two stroke engines, and has performed faultlessly in all tests
undertaken.
The XCOM Intercom is easy to install and connect to just about
any transceiver, including most of the airband and UHF radios. The
supplied drilling template makes for foolproof positioning and
drilling in your aircraft panel and all wiring is connected via a
D15 pin connector (supplied). Custom harnesses are available for
most radios for easy installation.
Two com inputs cater for a primary airband com and a secondary
VHF, UHF or Marine band transceiver. Additional input for CD
player, FM Radio or MP3 player is available with auto muting to
enable seamless communication in the cockpit and also so you don't
miss important radio transmissions. Selecting the Pilot Isolate
feature allows the pilot to only hear his com radio and the co
pilot and passengers can continue talking and listening to the CD
music without being interrupted by airways chatter. Landing gear,
stall and GPS warnings can all be configured for input to the
intercom unit so that they are audible through the headsets.
The XCOM Intercom was originally designed for the
Microair, Filser, Dittel and Becker aircraft radios but it has now
been successfully mated to the leading handhelds as well as
panel-mounted Icom, Narco, King and the like. Available in 2 place
or 4 place configurations, the price is $399 (AU$), which is
approximately $240 US or about $225 EURO.
