Pilot USA PA-88 Amplified Impedance Converter Low (MIL) to High (GA)
Convert military low-impedance radio outputs to high-impedance GA headset inputs with the Pilot USA PA-88 amplified converter. Active design for improved audio level and clarity in mixed-system cockpits.
Amplified impedance conversion from MIL low-Z to GA high-Z
Active (powered) design for consistent audio level and enhanced clarity
Reduces need for inline adapters or headset modification
Rugged construction for aviation and field use
Compact and lightweight for easy cockpit integration and carry
Engineered to preserve microphone and receive audio fidelity
The Pilot USA PA-88 is an amplified impedance converter engineered to bridge military (low-impedance) radio equipment with general aviation (high-impedance) headset systems. Its active electronics deliver gain and impedance matching to maintain clear receive audio and proper microphone performance across mixed communication systems. Built for professional use, the PA-88 features aviation-grade construction that withstands frequent handling and cockpit environments. The compact footprint makes it simple to deploy in flight bags or permanently install in avionics racks where needed. Pilots, flight crews, and maintenance teams working across military and GA platforms will find the PA-88 a reliable solution to ensure consistent audio levels and dependable communications.
Connector:
Input: MIL low-impedance radio connector (varies by installation)
Output: GA high-impedance headset output (standard GA dual-plug or specified output)
