ALTO Aviation has introduced a new cabin audio upgrade\nprogram specifically designed to offer a cost efficient, fast, and seamless\naudio upgrade solution for retrofit Challenger aircraft 601, 604, and 605.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Former Audio International (AI) digital Cabin Management\nSystems implemented serially controlled amps and integrated A\/V components. To\neffectively bypass this system limitation, an RS-485 databus reader was added\nto an ALTO DZ-290 amp to interpret audio settings for audio selection, volume\nlevels, EQ presets, and speaker on\/off. This serial databus reader allows the existing\nAI CMS to remain intact but will enable ALTO to control the audio path from\nsource to amplification; this way, ALTO can get the best audio signal directly\nto the ALTO amp and control the system in tandem with the existing CMS. This\nintegration is vital to preserving the existing AI architecture and minimizing\nthe impact on the currently installed CMS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Former Baker systems typically employ traditional analog\namps that can be easily replaced by ALTO components. Often, internal PA audio\ndistribution is sent through the amps. Most Baker Cabin Management Systems can\nremain intact with minimal impact and redesign. A more comprehensive solution\nis required when former Baker M2060 and M3070 amps are employed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many AI and Baker speakers may be replaced with 100%\nfit-compatible ALTO speakers, making the installation easy and seamless. ALTO\nAviation offers several loudspeaker models with adapter brackets to fit into\nthe same mounting hole patterns. These brackets make the installation very simple,\na real “remove and replace” alternative that simplifies the upgrade\npath. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The Challenger aircraft is a top-rated upgrade program\nfor ALTO, and customers appreciate the great sound when they get a new ALTO\naudio system. By reusing the same PSU grills and implementing 100% fit\ncompatible speakers, we help keep the installation costs low, making it an\nattractive sale to the customer. Every ALTO audio system is supported with an\nonsite custom tuning by an ALTO audio engineer to ensure peak performance. So,\nwhether the upgrade is to simply make the cabin audio system sound better or to\ncomplement your new CMS upgrade to HD monitors, we can help.” \u2013 Kevin\nHayes, VP of Sales & Marketing, said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
