I've had some requests for the bare etched circuit board called out in the DIY amplifier project featured at http://tinyurl.com/hn28p2q



Unfortunately, there is a minimum quantity for fabricating these. If I could sell three more boards at $25 each postage paid, I would be wiling to bring another batch of these in house.



This was probably the most successful DIY project on the AeroElectric website. I think we sold about 80 of those boards over the years.

I'm dim. What is an Audio Isolation Amplifier used for? Which is oblique way of asking, do I need one for my plane?

     Hi Art,

     

     They can have two potential uses. If you open the .pdf file from     Bob's link, you'll see multiple sources listed that feed into one     destination. This is 'summing' function, that allows combining     multiple audio sources while maintaining isolation of the sources     from each other. (If you just tie them all together, some or all may     not be able to maintain a high enough level and/or have a clean     signal. Like tying too many speakers in parallel to your stereo, or     worse, tying the left and right outputs together.) With the     isolation amp, you hear them all, but they don't interfere with each     other.

     

     The second potential function (not implemented with the components     shown, but possible), is to supply 'gain', or amplification. Some     signal sources may not be loud enough to match up with other     sources, or you may need more volume in a loud cockpit than your     radios or intercom can supply. With a few tweaks to the circuit, it     could supply amplification, as well. (Verify with Bob that he's ok     with doing this in this particular circuit.)

I was wondering the same thing so I had a look at the .pdf. As far as I can tell it's a budget way of tying in several radios to your intercom without spending thousands on an audio panel.

I use it to consolidate music, vhf nav audio, and dynon audio output into the single intercom input.

Bob, you can sign me up for 2 boards.

Bob,



Did you mean bare (not etched) circuit boards?



If so, a trip to you local PCB fab house will get you a truckload of boards in various thicknesses and single-double side configurations. Free.

Bob,

He meant bare boards with no holes or copper. 

Â You drill your own holes mount the components, 

and run wires to complete the circuits.

Be real Eric!Â  You know exactly what Bob meant

Quit trying to stir the pot!

Bob . . . I would be interested in purchasing two of these boards as well. Should I go to the web site to place the order or is there a specific email you want us to use for the request?

  No, our 9009-300-2A etched circuit board is

  a component of the DIY audio isolation

  amplifier project described in . . .

 Perhaps the better term is 'unpopulated'.  It looks

 like this when you're done.

   Correct. Notice too on the pictures that

   there are gain setting resistors installed

   in a socket. For audio sources with no

   adjustable output, you can select the

   resistor that levels that source with

   the rest of your sources.

I've had a number of folks express and interst in

 acquiring the boards to the DIY audio Isolation

 amplifier.



 Interested purchases can be made from our

 website at:



  http://tinyurl.com/cgr42l5



 Put your order details in the Commends/Special Rquests

 box at the bottom of the form. The boards are $22 ea

 plus first class postage of $2.25



 I'll plan on ordering boards on Monday . . .



 

 Assembly instructions for this project are available

    I've placed an order for the boards based

    on requests received to date. The boards

    are ordered in lots of 6. From the 2

    lots just ordered I'll have 4 residual

    boards available.

Bob,



Just noticed this. Would this be a good way to connect an xm roady music receiver to my audio panel? 



Background, The roady has no volume control and is intended to plug into a cassette player using the supplied adapter. I wired it directly to my Garmin audio panel. It worked fine except The volume was lower than needed. I am changing to a PS Engineering PDA 360XR audio panel that has music input volume controls. I am not sure that the new install will have adequate volume.Â  Any ideas on how to increase the volume?
