Audio Control Units for Defence

Audio Control Units are Line Replaceable Units or LRU’s.  Stand Alone or for integration with other electronics to provide a complete audio system.

Used primarily by Defence Airborne, Ground Vehicle and Shipborne Military Platforms. They are qualified to several Military and Applicable Standards.

EON Instrumentation design and manufacture a range of MIL-STD Audio Control Units for Defence Applications.

Firstly, Model ACU-101 combines audio signals from four input sources into a single mixed audio output signal.  The output and all four audio inputs are coupled to the internal circuitry through 600 balanced transformers.  On the front of the panel, each of the four inputs have independent level controls.

Another model ACU-117 splits a single audio signal into 17 balanced outputs for recording.

The CAPP is a portion of the communications subsystem used aboard the HC-130J Mission System US Coast Guard Aircraft.  It replaced the integral Public Address System Amplifier impedance and power matching function that was installed on the baseline C-130J Intercommunication System.  This because it was lost with LRS modification to an integrated ICS.  The CAPP passes and amplifies unencrypted audio from the MICS to the Public Address System PAA on the baseline HC-130J LRS.

Finally, the CSA Cockpit Speaker Amplifier is a component of an aircraft communications subsystem.  It integrates amplified audio signals to the cockpit speakers.  Plus, it operates as a lightweight airborne component of shared channel internal aircraft communication system.  Whilst supporting two separate audio channel input and providing two separate speaker outputs.  The Cockpit Speaker Amplifier provides signal level amplification and power filtering without selections and control functions.
