PS Engineering Intro's PMA 8000 Audio System

The PMA8000 provides an audio selector panel for two VHF coms (including our split mode), a cellular telephone interface, an IntelliVox 6-place stereo intercom, dual independent music inputs, and an internal marker beacon receiver with 3-light indicator. "The PMA8000 is the direct result of customer demand." said company Vice President Gary Picou.
