West Star Aviation is pleased to offer a solution to Baker B1045 audio panels that have become obsolete because of lack of parts support. These panels were OEM installed on several models of Bombardier, Citation, Falcon, Gulfstream, and Piaggio aircraft.
The PS Engineering PAC37 is designed to be a direct replacement for the obsolete Baker B1045 audio panels. Upgrading to the PAC37 not only addresses obsolescence issues, but also has modern capabilities such as:
- “Plug and play” with Baker 1045 models
- Supports three independent control heads (pilot, copilot, and cabin)
- Independent volume controls for all inputs
- IntelliAudio® dimensional sound (Com1/Com2)
- IntelliVOX® auto-squelch along with push-to-talk and hot mic intercom
- PTT key indication with 35-second stuck PTT disconnect
- Illuminated selection indications for front panel user controls
- Independent Bluetooth in each audio panel for cellular telephone and audio streaming
- Front panel music selection and volume control
- Configurable stereo music muting (on, off, and radio)
- TXI — Intercom stays active during radio transmission (field configurable)
- RXI — Com indicator flashes when audio is active (field configurable)
- Artificial Transmit Sidetone (field configurable)
- Additional unswitched inputs with volume adjustments (additional wiring required)
- Stereo headsets (additional wiring required)
- Music input for XM audio/music (additional wiring required)
- Provides panel power for ANR headset, no additional circuit breaker required
- Cosmetics — gunship gray or black
- Field configuration, no laptops or dongles required
- Two-year warranty
The new PAC37 panels begin shipping from the manufacturer in April 2025 and can be installed at any West Star Aviation facility, including satellites. For more information on the new PS Engineering PAC37 or other avionics needs, please contact any of the specialists below:
