Garmin Aviation Audio Cable f/VIRB® X/XE Product Description
Imagine soaring through the skies, capturing every thrilling moment of your flight with crystal-clear stereo audio straight from your aviation headset. That's the game-changing advantage the Garmin Aviation Audio Cable brings to pilots using VIRB X or XE action cameras. This isn't just a simple connector—it's your ticket to immersive cockpit recordings that preserve radio chatter, navigation calls, and even stereo music feeds without interrupting your setup.
Designed for real-world aviation demands, this cable taps into the audio stream between your aircraft's audio jack and headset. No more muffled narrations or missed transmissions; every detail comes through in rich stereo, making your flight videos stand out whether you're sharing with fellow aviators or documenting for training purposes.
Standout Features That Elevate Your In-Flight Recordings
- Stereo Audio Capture: Lock in 3D spatial audio from advanced radios and panels, plus any auxiliary stereo sources like music players, for videos that feel like you're right there in the cockpit.
- Inline Plug Design: At 5 feet 9 inches long, it slots seamlessly between your audio jack and headset, keeping full access open for copilots or passengers—no adapters or sacrifices needed.
- Effortless Integration: Tailored specifically for VIRB X and XE cameras, it ensures plug-and-play reliability so you focus on flying, not fiddling with cables.
- Durable Build: Black cable housing withstands the rigors of aviation environments, from bumpy takeoffs to high-altitude vibes.
Why Pilots Swear By It
Beyond specs, this cable transforms raw footage into professional-grade content. Picture narrating a tricky approach sequence live, or archiving ATC exchanges for post-flight review. It's a must-have for flight instructors building libraries, bush pilots chronicling adventures, or weekend warriors reliving cross-countries with sound that matches the visuals.
Setting Up for Perfect Cockpit Audio: A Pilot's Guide
Getting started is straightforward, even mid-pre-flight checks:
- Locate your aircraft's audio out jack and headset plug.
- Insert the cable's aircraft-end connector into the jack.
- Connect your headset to the cable's open end.
- Plug the camera end into your VIRB X or XE—power on and roll tape.
Pro tip: Mount your VIRB securely on the glareshield or yoke for optimal views, and test audio levels on the ground to dial in volume without clipping. In noisy cabins, this setup shines by isolating headset audio cleanly from engine roar.
Real-World Scenarios
- Training Flights: Record student-pilot interactions verbatim for debriefs.
- Airshows or Tours: Capture crowd cheers via intercom alongside your commentary.
- Long Hauls: Preserve entertainment audio for those epic time-lapses.

Insider Tips from Seasoned Aviators
To maximize your setup, pair this cable with VIRB's stabilization features for buttery-smooth footage synced to pro audio. Always secure cables away from controls to prevent snags, and consider redundant mounts for rough strips. For multi-crew ops, it keeps everyone plugged in while your camera grabs the full audio mix—pure efficiency.
"This little cable turned my shaky GoPro-style clips into broadcast-quality flight logs. Hearing the tower clearings in stereo makes all the difference." – Anonymous GA Pilot
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this cable work with all aviation headsets?
It connects universally between standard aircraft audio jacks and most aviation headsets, preserving stereo if your source supports it. Check your setup for PJ-068 or similar plugs.
Can I use it while someone else plugs into the audio jack?
Yes, its inline design intercepts the signal without blocking the jack, so copilots or passengers stay connected seamlessly.
Is the audio recording mono or stereo?
Full stereo capture, ideal for 3D audio from modern panels and dual-channel sources like music.
What if my VIRB camera is mounted far from the audio jack?
The 5-foot-9-inch length provides ample reach for glareshield or panel mounts, but extensions aren't recommended to avoid signal loss.
