Section 1.0 Description
1.1 Introduction
Information in this section consists of product description, design features and specifications for the
LSA800-001 Loud Speaker Amplifier. All derivative product information will be contained in the applicable
manual supplement, which may be obtained from AEM as required.
Review all notes, warnings and cautions.
1.2 Product Description
The LSA800-001 is AEM’s next generation loud speaker amplifier. It consists of two output channels,
each utilizing a highly efficient Power Supply and a Class-D Amplifier to produce a total of 800 watts RMS
(1600 watts Peak) of output power with minimal distortion and noise.
The LSA800-001 is more compact and lighter than other comparable amplifier systems.
The LSA800-001 is designed and qualified to meet operational roles on fixed wing aircraft as well as light
and medium helicopter airframes with single and twin turbine engine types.
It is intended for use with up to two LS600 external speaker arrays or one TS95-16xx and a siren
controller as a complete system.

1.3 Design Features
The LSA800-001 has a two differential speaker outputs, each capable of driving 400 watts RMS (800
watts Peak) into 3 Ohm loads.
The LSA800-001 has a number of built in protection circuits that keep the amplifier from being damaged,
including Output Short Circuit and Thermal Shutdown which minimize the possibility of damage to the
speaker output stage.
The LSA800-001 has four audio inputs consisting of one microphone, two single ended inputs and one
differential audio input to provide input source flexibility. Each input has a field adjustable gain level to
optimize speaker output power for various input signal levels.
The amplifier status annunciators for the protection circuits and user accessible audio input adjustments
are displayed externally near the D-Sub connectors .
See Section 2.0 for further details on the Audio Input Adjustments and Section 3.0 for Status
Annunciators.
There are two Remote On/Off inputs that provide the ability for low current switched high or switched low
remote activation of the amplifier if being turned on remotely from a siren controller.
A single PA Ready output provides a switched ground for remote sensing or displaying of the amplifier
ready state.

Section 2.0 Installation
2.1 Introduction
Information in this section consists of: unpacking and inspection procedures, installation procedures,
post-installation checks, and installation drawings.
2.2 Unpacking and Inspection
Unpack the equipment carefully. Inspect the unit visually for damage due to shipping and report all such
claims immediately to the carrier involved. Note that each unit should have the following:
- LSA800-001 Loud Speaker Amplifier
- Product Information Card
- Certificate of Conformity or Release certification
Verify that all items are present before proceeding and report any shortage immediately to your supplier.
2.2.1 Warranty
All Anodyne Electronics Manufacturing Corp. (AEM) products are warranted for 2 years. See the website
www.aem-corp.com/warranty for complete details.
2.3 Installation Procedures
2.3.1 Warnings
WARNING:
When the amplifier is connected to an appropriate speaker, the system
is capable of producing high sound pressure levels. Proper personal
protective equipment is required to prevent hearing damage.
2.3.2 Cautions
CAUTION:
Do not obstruct ambient air flow to the heatsink fins.
Do not operate the unit outside of the parameters listed in the
Electrical Specifications section.
Always check ADF and compass calibration after installing external speakers
or power amplifiers.

CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY TO ANODYNE ELECTRONICS MANUFACTURING CORP.
CAUTION:
Use shielded cable exactly as shown and ground as indicated. Installation can
be severely degraded by incorrect wiring and shielding.
Precautions are necessary when external signals, such as intercom, radio or
recorders are used. The high gain of the amplifier requires care to prevent
feedback or crosstalk. Ground loops and stray currents in the input line
must be eliminated.
Bundle and route the Speaker Output wires separately from
low level Audio Input lines.
2.3.3 Cabling and Wiring
All wire shall be selected in accordance with the original aircraft manufacturer's Maintenance Instructions
or AC43.13-1B Change 1, Paragraphs 11-76 through 11-78. Unshielded wire types shall qualify to MIL-
W-22759 as specified in AC43.13-1B Change 1, Paragraphs 11-85, 11-86, and listed in Table 11-11. For
shielded wire applications, use Tefzel MIL-C-27500 shielded wire with solder sleeves (for shield
terminations) to make the most compact and easily terminated interconnect. Follow the interconnect
drawing in Section 2.7 as required.
Allow 3" from the end of the shielded wiring to the shield termination to allow the connector hood to be
easily installed. Refer to the interconnect drawing in Section 2.7 for shield termination details. Note that
the hood is a "clamshell" hood, and is installed after the wiring is complete. Aircraft harnessing shall
permit the unit to be removed for easy access to all adjustments.
Maintain wire segregation and route wiring in accordance with the original aircraft manufacturers
Maintenance Instructions.
Reference the Interconnect drawing for wire sizing specifications. Check that the ground connection is
clean and well secured, and that it shares no path with any electrically noisy aircraft accessories such as
blowers, turn and bank instruments or similar loads. Power to this unit must be supplied from a separate
circuit breaker or fuse (fast blow), and not attached to any other circuit breaker without additional
protection. Verify that the selected circuit breaker size and wire gauge are adequate for the installation
using the techniques specified in AC43.13-1B Change 1, Paragraphs 11-47 through 11-51 and 11-66
through 11-69.
2.3.4 Post-Installation Checks
Ensure all connectors are tight and the mechanical installation is sound.
2.3.4.1 Voltage/Resistance Checks
Do not connect the LSA800-001 to the wiring harness until the following conditions are met.
Check the following:
a) Check P101 and P201, pin A1 for +28 Vdc relative to ground.
b) Check P101 and P201, pin A4 for continuity to ground (less than 0.5:).
c) Check P101 and P201, pins A2 and A3 for no connection to ground (open).

2.4 Adjustments and Connections
The unit is shipped from the factory with all internal adjustments set to the normal test levels. Once
installed in the aircraft, it may be desirable to change some of these settings to best suit the local
operating environment.
The internal field adjustable settings are located adjacent to the external D-Sub connector and are
labeled:
- MIC (Microphone Audio)
- AUX SE 1 (Single-Ended Auxiliary Audio)
- AUX SE 2 (Single-Ended Auxiliary Audio)
- AUDIO (Auxiliary Differential Audio)
These gain adjustments each cover a 33dB range
of -30dB to +3dB from their rated nominal inputs.
2.5 Accessories Required But Not Supplied
