Aux. Audio jacks on M5 -- What for?
Does everyone/anyone else have these auxiliary jacks that look like they receive your headphone plugs?
Except the head phones don't work in them.
Now I've developed the wish that they are actually an in-put jacks, so that I could, for example, plug in my hand held Nav/Com and have a two radio system.
At least 2 radios for listening.

If they are what I think they are, they are for plugging an audio device such as music into system.

Do the jacks have about an eighth inch hole for plugging into? If so, they're probably for aux audio, if plugs are same size as headphone jacks, not too sure what they'd be for?

they maybe power for a noise cancelling headsets. I have those up front in my M5 so no batteries need for my headsets in the front seats. The head sets can be a bit hard to find I ordered mine from Pilot Comm and I think some of the new David Clarks can be ordered that way.

If same size as headphone jacks on pilots side only, they are for microphone, not aux audio as Andrew stated. In case batteries go dead in ANC headsets. To test, plug in mic with keying switch, turn up volume and do comm check with local ground or transmit and listen up on your handheld...

Well, we don't NEED headsets at all. Most Maules have a speaker, and we just could use a handheld mic. But a noise-cancelling headset makes things much more pleasant in any aircraft, including a Maule. Also helps save the hearing. Maules are quieter than many light aircraft, but that's a relative thing; they are still loud.51598Rob wrote:You need noise canceling headsets in your Maule??

Thanks for digging into this one a bit more, Jim. Yes, pilot side only, same two jack sizes as my headset. I've plugged in there by mistake before and wondered why no audio. Perhaps cause my (cushy) Bose ANR headset had batteries in it?
Quieter than other planes? When my battery died on climbout once, it was downright painful!
I guess the road to comtemporary aviating practices is paved with deaf, disfigured and dead pilots.
