Jupiter Avionics' JA37-001 Aural Message Generator

Continued from page 45

As a distributor for Jupiter Avionics products, Dallas Avionics is able
to market and sell directly to the
customers. Brunsden attributed most
of the recent growth to the extremely
good working relationship with Dallas Avionics.
"It's who you know," he said.
"We've known each other for
many years."
Stinson is president of Jupiter Avionics, and he
has more than 27 years of experience in the avionics
industry. As the chief digital designer for NAT, he was
responsible for the design of the TAC/COM series of FM
control heads. He directed all aspects of NAT product
design as the research and development manager for 18
years, and then guided NAT Seattle as its general manager for four years.
Brunsden started his avionics career with Chelton
Electrostatics as a designer and then program manager
for 18 years. When Chelton purchased NAT, he was promoted to managing director and served in that position
for 17 years, growing the company more than 15-fold
during his tenure.
Ken Veitch, vice president of product development,
was one of the founding partners of NAT in 1979, and
he was the innovator behind its industry-defining audio
products for more than 30 years. As the chief audio
designer for most of that time, he was a key mentor for
many former NAT designers who continue to influence
the avionics audio industry.
Shauer has more than 27 years of experience in the
avionics industry. He was the NAT FM production manager for 10 years, then vice president of quality assurance and operations for another 15 years. Throughout his
career, Shauer has built a solid reputation for championing superior product and process quality.
Scott Moore, project and environmental testing manager, obtained experience in avionics design, environmental testing and project management during 23 years
at NAT. Shortly after starting at Jupiter Avionics, he
earned a graduate certificate in project management from
Royal Roads University.
Normally, 13 years is a good amount of industry
experience, but next to the rest of the management team,

Bryan Hart, sales and marketing director, must feel like
the new kid on the block. Hart is an accomplished sales
professional with proven success in territory management,
strategic planning and business development. As the director of sales for Artex and Kannad, Hart was responsible
for several product launches, setting up and managing a
network of global dealer and distributor accounts.
As a sign of its success, Jupiter Avionics announced
last October that it was granted an FAA TSO-C139
design approval for its Aural Message Generator, the
JA37-001.
"Obtaining a TSO from the FAA is a great step for the
Aural Message Generator," Hart said. "We know what
the product is capable of, the quality of our manufacturing process and what this product means to the industry.
We are pleased to obtain this TSO designation."
The Aural Message Generator has numerous distinguishing features from other similar products in the
industry. It has two balanced outputs, message mute
input, tone or voice message library, two trigger inputs
per message, product configuration software, and a
Windows-based product configuration tool that defines
and changes all adjustable parameters in the JA37.
"This product is very versatile and can even be adjusted after the unit is installed in the aircraft," Hart added.
The use of personal experience and establishing professional relationships has certainly paid off for Jupiter
Avionics. For more information about the company and
