MONO/STEREO HEADSETS
Stereo headsets are recommended for use in this aircraft.
Using a monaural headset in a stereo jack shorts the right headset channel output to ground. While this does
not damage the Audio Panel, a person listening on a monaural headset hears only the left channel in both ears.

The pilot side Audio Panel controls the cabin speaker. Pressing the SPKR Key selects and deselects the cabin
speaker.
All of the radios can be heard over the cabin speaker. Certain aural alerts and warnings (autopilot, traffic,
altitude) are always heard on the speaker, even when the speaker is not selected. Speaker audio is muted when
the PTT is pressed.
