CNS Posted March 24, 2019 Report Share Posted March 24, 2019 Hi there! How do you adjust the volume of the GONG that rings in the headset every time an alarm comes ON on the warning panel? Ive read that it goes through the AMS44 but it cant be adjusted individually. Its just very loud compared to all other communication systems in the aircraft. I checked the VEMD as well but I didnt see anything about the volume adjustment... Anyone here could help me please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The AMS44 generally receives alert signals through the Direct Audio 1 input or Direct Audio 2 input. Direct Audio 1 is adjustable; however, Direct Audio 2 is fixed. Since impedance matching and audio quality are not customary concerns with warning tones of this type, simple inline resistor attenuation is sufficient. You must verify the signal does, in fact, connect to one of the Direct Audio inputs. Your local Avionics technicians would be helpful. You need to get behind the radio/com panel and find a good tip-in point for the inline resistor. An easy access point somewhere between the signal source and the AMS44. Initially, a potentiometer is installed inline and adjustments made until a resistance value is determined. Once the resistance value is resolved, the selected resistor is installed, and shrink-wrapped. click photo to enlarge AMS42/44 Dual Channel Audio Controller Manual Edited April 28, 2019 by iChris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
