avionics manufacturer, focused on aircraft audio systems. In its facilities near Knoxville Tenn., it employs 15 people both in design engineering and electronic manufacturing, as well as in maintaining an FAA-certifi ed repair station. PS Engineering’s product line includes panel-mounted intercoms (including an LSA-specifi c stereo intercom and high-noise systems), and audio control panels for a broad range of aircraft. Throughout the years, it has received awards from the aviation press for product innovations. The company is proud of its ability to deliver most of its
products off the shelf, as a service to aid the dealers. The company’s Pro-Support industry-leading warranty and product support brings the dealer a no-questions-asked warranty program. Users and installers will always get an experienced voice, often the company founder, on the line with any needed answers. PS Engineering has forged partnerships with other
avionics and aircraft manufacturers to provide custom audio solutions, including Avidyne, BendixKing, Honeywell, L-3 and Eclipse Aerospace.
