The unit plugs into the co-pilot's mic/phone jacks with the co-pilot and rear two passengers plugging into their respective mic/phone jack on the unit. A switch on the unit enables a four way conversation with the ability to quickly isolate the rear two passengers in the event of busy radio work.

CAN YOU HEAR ME AT THE BACK?

Ever climbed into your aircraft, switched on your portable intercom to talk to your rear passengers and discovered that the batteries are flat? So, when someone taps you on the shoulder and points at something on the ground, you have to resort to taking your headset off and shouting at them all over the noise of flight to find out what they’re on about. This is where the SplitCom comes in. It needs no batteries and plugs into the co-pilot’s headset, from where it splits the output to feed the co-pilot and two rear passengers, all of whom plug their headphone sockets into the SplitCom. Now everyone can talk to everyone else, or it can be adjusted to allow the rear passengers a chat without disturbing those up front. The audio feed to the rear two headsets is unaffected and they can still hear the local radar. We tried the box on a couple of different aircraft and it works well, although there is a slight decrease in volume. Although it’s not a real substitute for a four seat panel mounted intercom, at £67.49 compared to the near £500 of its more sophisticated cousin, it’s good value for money.
