190-01134-12 Rev. GGarmin GMA 350/350c Pilot’s Guide10GMA 350/350c Audio PanelFEATURES AND OPERATIONThe GMA 350/350c Audio Panel provides the traditional audio selector functions of microphone and receiver audio selection. The Audio Panel includes an intercom system (ICS), a marker beacon receiver, and a COM clearance recorder. Ambient noise from the aircraft radios is reduced by Avionics Squelch (ASQ). When no audio is detected, ASQ processing further reduces the amount of background noise. The MAN SQ Key toggles between manual and automatic intercom system (ICS) squelch. In automatic ICS squelch mode, threshold adjustments are handled automatically by the system. In manual ICS squelch mode, individual threshold adjustments can be made for the pilot, copilot, and passenger microphones by the crew. The ability to adjust individual thresholds for each ICS position further reduces the amount of background noise from the radios. Pushbutton keys control audio selection. When a key is selected, a triangular annunciator above the key is illuminated. Annunciator brightness is adjusted automatically by photocell dimming. Key brightness is adjusted by the radio dimming bus control. Three Aux inputs are available for additional avionics or audio devices.Upon installation, the unit may be configured in various ways depending on aircraft type and the needs of the pilot.POWER-UPThe GMA 350/350c performs a self-test during power-up. During the self-test all Audio Panel annunciator lights illuminate for approximately two seconds. Once the self-test is completed, most of the settings are restored to those in use before the unit was last turned off.
190-01134-12 Rev. GGarmin GMA 350/350c Pilot’s Guide11 GMA 350/350c Audio PanelMONO/STEREO HEADSETSStereo headsets are recommended when using the GMA 350/350c. 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. If a monaural headset is used at one of the passenger positions, any other passenger using a stereo headset hears audio in the left ear only.TRANSCEIVERS NOTE: Transceiver functions may also be accessed via Voice Recognition commands. Refer to the Voice Recognition section for more information.Audio from the #1 or #2 COM receiver can be selected independently by pressing the respective Key(s) (COM1 or COM2).Pressing MIC1 or MIC2 selects the #1 or #2 transmitter and simultaneously selects the related COM receiver (COM1 or COM2) allowing received audio to be heard. The other COM receiver can be added by pressing the respective key. During reception of audio from the COM radio selected for transmission, audio from the other COM radio is muted.ENABLING/DISABLING MONITORED COM MUTINGPress and hold COM1 or COM2 to enable/disable monitored COM muting during reception of audio from the COM radio selected for transmission. The aural message “Monitor Mute Enable/Disable” is heard.

If the selected COM frequencies are too close together, interference may be heard during transmission on the other radio.During Split-COM operation, both the pilot and the copilot can transmit simultaneously over separate radios.Pressing both MIC Keys simultaneously initiates Split-COM Mode (i.e., COM1/COM2). The respective COM1/MIC1 or COM2/MIC2 annunciators are illuminated indicating Split-COM operation. Split-COM operation is cancelled by pressing one of the selected MIC Keys again.In Split-COM mode, the pilot uses COM1 and the copilot uses COM2.

To initiate Split-PA Mode, first enter Split-COM Mode by pressing both MIC Keys simultaneously, then press and hold the SPKR Key for 2 seconds.3D AUDIO3D Audio is useful when multiple audio sources are present. By using different responses in each ear, 3D audio processing creates the illusion that each audio source is coming from a unique location or seat position.Because this feature uses different signals for left and right channels, it requires wiring for stereo intercom and stereo headsets. If 3D audio is activated when mono headsets are in use, the listener will still hear all audio sources; however, there is no benefit from location separation.With a single COM selected and 3D Audio enabled, the listener hears the audio source at the 12 o’clock position. If both COMs are selected, the listener hears COM1 at 11 o’clock and COM2 at the 1 o’clock position. All other intercom positions are processed to sound like their relative seat location. By default, the GMA 350/350c assumes the pilot sits in the left seat. A Garmin authorized service center can make changes to the default configuration.enaBling 3d audioPress and hold the PILOT Key to toggle 3D audio processing on and off for all headset positions. When 3D Audio is enabled, the aural message “3D audio left” is heard in the left ear followed by “3D audio right” in the right ear. If the aural messages are not heard in only the left and then the right ear respectively, the cause may be aircraft wiring or headset settings. Refer to the following table if a headset or aircraft wiring problem is suspected.

To activate Voice Recognition, push and hold the Push-to-Command (PTC) button while speaking a command. When the Push-to-Command button is released, the GMA 350/350c will respond.If a command is correctly interpreted by the GMA 350/350c, a positive acknowledgement chime will be played, and the pilot should verify that the correct button selection is indicated by the triangular annunciator lights. Alternatively, some commands will be indicated by a voice response from the GMA 350/350c. If the desired modes are not indicated by annunciator lights or a voice response, the pilot should repeat the command by using the Push-to-Command button, or by manually using the front panel controls of the GMA 350/350c.

Once paired, the GMA 350c and the device will connect automatically.PAIRING A BLUETOOTH DEVICE WITH THE GMA 350cPress and hold the inner knob for two seconds. The Bluetooth Annunciator flashes to indicate the unit is discoverable and the aural message “Bluetooth discoverable” is heard. The GMA 350c will remain discoverable for 90 seconds or until a successful pair is established. Once paired, the Bluetooth Annunciator turns steady blue and the aural message “Bluetooth connected/paired” is heard.ASSIGNING AN AUDIO SOURCE TO THE BLUETOOTH DEVICEPress the , MUS1, or MUS2 key until the annunciator turns blue (the audio from the Bluetooth source will not be heard until this step is complete). The key annunciator cycles OFF-WHITE-BLUE. WHITE selects the wired audio source. BLUE selects the Bluetooth audio source. The BLUE source assignment will persist through Bluetooth audio connection disruptions. NOTE: The Bluetooth audio can only be assigned to one source at a time. Once the Bluetooth audio is assigned to an audio source, the remaining entertainment audio sources will only cycle between OFF and WHITE.Bluetooth audio will maintain a separate volume level and Blue Select distribution from the wired audio source. If the Bluetooth connection is supporting a phone call, all intercom positions listening to that source can also speak on the call through the headset MICs.

GGarmin GMA 350/350c Pilot’s Guide35 GMA 350/350c Audio PanelADDITIONAL BLUETOOTH CONTROL FUNCTIONSIn addition to the 2 second press and hold of the inner knob discussed above, the knob has two additional functions that are intended to be seldom or never used. The following functions are available if needed for troubleshooting:• Press and hold the inner knob for 5 seconds to turn off the Bluetooth radio. The aural message “Bluetooth off” is heard. This function electrically turns off the radio, not just the audio source selection. In the event that Bluetooth radio interference with communication or navigation equipment is suspected, the Bluetooth radio can be powered off without powering off the entire audio panel. A subsequent 5 second press and hold turns the radio back on.• Press and hold the inner knob for 10 seconds to clear the memory of paired devices (up to 10 are stored). Once cleared, the aural message “Bluetooth list cleared” is heard. This function is used as a troubleshooting method when a device is not pairing, or to remove a device that is no longer needed.CONNECTING BLUETOOTH TO A GARMIN VIRBThe GMA 350c supports Bluetooth wireless delivery of pilot headphone audio to versions of the Garmin VIRB action camera that support Bluetooth mic audio input for recording.Pairing a Garmin VIRB to the GMA 350c works like pairing other Bluetooth audio devices. Once connected, pilot headphone audio will be delivered to the VIRB via Bluetooth. In a connection to the Garmin VIRB, the GMA is the source. Therefore, selecting an entertainment button is not required. The PILOT annunciator turns blue to indicate this connection.
