XCOM VOX Intercom

The 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.

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 a breeze 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.

The XCOM Intercom is the world's first internet upgradeable intercom system that we know off. Operating profiles are available for download from the Internet. These profiles optimise the settings of the intercom for operation in particular environments to achieve maximum performance. For example, if the intercom is transferred from a Cessna, with a relatively quiet cockpit, to a high noise environment such as the cockpit of a Tiger Moth, then the squelch would continually break due to the high wind conditions. In this situation, a quick download from the internet and a 1 minute upload to the unit reconfigures the system for optimum use in the new environment.

The XCOM Intercom is the perfect companion to radios like the Microair, Filser, Dittel and Becker 57mm Aircraft Radios as well as all the handhelds.

The XCOM Intercom has been designed with the pilot in mind and have the ability to accept inputs from multiple devices. 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.

For additional safety, a failsafe bypass is incorporated in the XCOM Intercom so that, in the event of failure or loss of power to the unit, the primary com radio is enabled for transmit and receive.

The XCOM Intercom's advanced design allows for use in situations with voltages ranging from 10 to 30 volts. Its low power consumption also means the XCOM Intercom is versatile enough for operations in aircraft such as gliders, balloons and ultralights which are only fitted only with a battery and have no alternate means of power.

With separate PTT switches for the Pilot and Co-pilot, each can transmit with the XCOM Intercom and, with the Pilot over-ride, this unit ideal for training environments where the instructor may need to over-ride a student's mistakes.

In the event that either PTT switch sticks in the on position, a stuck mic timer, user selectable up to 60 seconds, will automatically cease transmission.

With a two year replacement warranty, the XCOM Intercom provides excellent value for money and peace of mind so that you can stop worrying about the performance of your equipment, and you can get back to enjoying your experiences in the air.

The XCOM Intercom is proudly manufactured in Australia under ISO 9002 accreditation.
