The PMA450B is the next step in connectivity, with more Bluetooth® capability than any other audio panel available today. When coupled with PS Engineering's innovative approach to audio control, this user friendly PMA450B gives more of what the pilot wants from their audio panel, the central nervous system of their avionics suite. This 3rd generation PMA450 has two completely independent Bluetooth® modules, giving unprecedented connectivity capabilities. The PMA450B has the ability to work like no other panel available. Stream to a digital video camera, hear Foreflight® alerts, make a phone call to ATC for your IFR clearance, you might even listen to your favorite tunes once in a while. PMA450B also adds flightmate®. This integrated audio alert system gives the pilot the ability to hear alerts related to aircraft conditions. IntelliAudio® gives the pilot the capability to pay attention to the radio that is important to their flight at any one instant in time. Consider Com 1 coming from the 10 o’clock position while Com 2 is coming from the 2 o’clock position, just like being at a cocktail party, you are able to pay attention to the person who is telling you something important while ignoring the other conversations that aren’t. The 3 Soft-key user interface is unprecedented for audio control panels. With more and more capability provided by our audio panels, it was designed to allow easy access to the full capabilities of the unit. This audio panel is plug ‘n play with Garmin’s GMA340, which makes upgrading as easy as 1-2-3. The existing wire harness and tray that is installed for the GMA340 is complete and there is nothing to add or change. Get all of the new capabilities by simply removing and replacing. A simple log book entry is all that is required. NOTE, additional wiring is required to enable flightmate®, capability when upgrading from either GARMIN GMA340 or PMA8000 series audio panels) |
This unit is amazing. The clarity of sound is spectacular. We were experiencing static in the system and this unit cleared that up. This unit replaced a Garmin GMA 340 which was going bad. It took less than 10 minutes to remove the GMA and install the 450B. The features of the 450B are intuitive and easy to use. The manual is well written. The bluetooth works perfectly and is easy to connect. Sending music through the bluetooth sounds great. Ive connected ipad, iphone and Bose headset. Highly recommend this unit.

Swapped this for the GMA 340 in my PA23. I cant imagine a better audio panel is out there. And, if you already have a Garmin 340, it takes about a minute to swap and another 5 minutes to do the post install checkout. This unit is great.
