Anodyne Electronics Manufacturing Corp (AEM), the Kelowna, British Columbia-headquartered supplier of avionics products, has announced the purchase of Eagle Audio Systems, a division of Eagle Copters.
The acquisition of the Calgary-based aircraft audio designer brings its flagship P139HD Generation II digital audio system and custom avionics consoles for the AS350/H125 aircraft into AEM’s product portfolio, as well as its dimmer power supplies, audio mixers and power converters. The agreement covers the transfer of Eagle Audio’s FAA, EASA, ANAC and TCCA supplemental type certificates on airframes such as the AS350, AS355, Bell 204, 205, 206, 212, 214, 412, EC135 and BK117.
Eagle’s Generation II digital audio system is one of the most capable products in its class, according to the manufacturer. “Developing the Generation II audio system has enabled us to provide a product that is second to none for our customer base, a relationship that we put first and foremost with anything we do,” remarked Mike O’Reilly, CEO of Eagle Copters.
“With our focus on helicopter leasing, sales and MRO, it was time for our Audio division to move to a fully dedicated organisation. We have worked with AEM for many years and, in fact, they have been a supplier for many components used in our Eagle Audio business. For that reason, this transition will be a natural fit and seamless to our existing customers.”
“The Eagle Audio assets fit well within AEM’s skillsets and capabilities, and we are looking forward to supporting the existing customer base while introducing the product line to our varied and diverse global customers,” said Tony Weller, director of sales and marketing at AEM. “This is a powerful, flexible digital audio system, and our customers will benefit from AEM’s investment in further development and certification of the product suite.”
