If you want a quality and reliable audio recording, don’t go that route just for the $20 you save. The levels are never the same from one flight to the next as it will vary based on position in the ear. This ‘impedance matching’ is the circuit board design which is housed inside the little black box you see in our cables – this is not simply a ‘splitter’ for the cable, there is electronic audio processing going on inside to bring the audio levels to an appropriate value for your recording device. When impedance is properly matched the levels in the audio are near perfect, without being distorted from overdrive. Fred, a recent customer, just sent us an email claiming it’s a “.much better sound clarity than my cobbled-together Radio Shack solution”. Well manufactured cable with a proper circuit design and shielded wire in an electronically noisy environment (RF) will yield the BEST results. This is a matter of personal taste, but a #Atc recordings plusI’m sure it’s debatable, but the fact is no one is as good at custom wiring a cable as a manufacturing team – what would you tell your FBO (or your wife) if their $3000 Garmin COM decides to fail while your custom cable just happens to be in use? Plus a $39 cable is an instant success too without running around ‘building’ something new.Ģ. Using factory soldered and tested cables is much safer. Stabbing homebrew cabling into a $3000 aircraft intercom system (or more if you have fancy panels) is not worth the risk of damage if you ask us. Problem with this advice: It’s BAD advice. The thing is, lots of people say, “.just go buy xyz wire from Radio Shack and Plug’er in”. Even for experienced pilots, those who are not Class C current can go back and figure out what they did wrong when ATC yells at you! Great idea – it’s a great training tool, allowing you to review what you’re learning. So you you want to record your intercom or ATC audio? Well that’s a ![]()
