The VIC-1 basic kit includes one AM-1780 Junction box / audio amplifier and two C-2298 Control Boxes.
AM-1780/VRC Audio Amplifier Is the main junction box for the AN/VIC-1 Vehicle Intercom System. It provides control of the 24 Volt DC power to the associated crewmember control boxes and to the radio system that may be connected to the amplifiers. The amplifiers also amplify and control the audio signals in the intercommunication (intercom) and radio circuits.
C-2289 Control Box The standard Crewmember Control Box, The C-2298/VRC allows vehicle crewmembers to select, by means of the MONITOR switch and the audio accessory controls, to communicate with other crewmembers via the intercom circuit, or remotely operate or monitor any radio equipment connected to the AM-1780/VRC.
