SoftComm ATC-2Y Portable 2 Place Mono Intercom

SoftComm Intercoms are versatile, compact and reliable and are designed to make it easy to communicate with co-pilots, students, passengers or CFIs. Two-way conversations can be as effortless as a discussion in your living room. With hands free transmission, it is no longer necessary to push a button or throw a switch to talk because the voice activated (VOX) circuitry provides “fast-on”, clear amplification and prevents word-clipping and at the same time, won’t shut off before you finish talking.

Setting the standard for performance, SoftComm intercoms are quality engineered and constructed of the finest aircraft grade materials. They are 100% tested to assure their quality of performance. No one can boast of more stringent quality controls.

Even though an auxiliary power cable is included which can be used to connect to the aircraft’s power supply, it can operate on its own self-contained 9 volt DC battery(s). This means that it can be taken from one airplane to another without disconnecting wires. This is a real plus for aircraft renters, CFIs or pilots who use more than one plane. With the unique automatic power on/off, the intercom draws battery power only when the headsets are plugged in. No other intercom compares for battery life or cost effectiveness.

Both the the two place and four-place intercoms allow the pilot, co-pilot or CFI to transmit. The exclusive “Y” block splits the microphone circuit allowing either the pilot or  co-pilot to transmit to ATC through the intercom. In addition, the “pilot isolation” switch allows pilot privacy from intercom activities.

A combination push-to-talk switch and LED indicator is conveniently mounted on the front panel. This is provided as a backup switch for the PTT switch in the aircraft’s radio yoke.

The built-in “record” and “listen” features allow usage of an external digital recorder for recording clearances, ATIS, instructions or flight plan information. This same feature allows the playing of music during long flights. However, the music will automatically “mute” when either ATC or passengers talk.

Mixing of headsets (different makes) is permitted and will automatically adjust for any inferior microphone design.

These unique intercoms come with all cables and auxiliary power cords and a conveniently located battery compartment. Combine all of these features with a three year warranty and SoftComm’s “Pride of Workmanship”, makes SoftComm’s intercoms one of today’s finest values.
