Also, some audio panels support a split mode where each person (left and
right seats) can monitor a different radio.

I did this in a King air I flew right seat in. It was pretty cool.
This is such an amazingly useful feature that I would never buy an audio
panel that didn't have it. Your crew can be talking to flight service,
getting the ATIS at your destination, etc, etc, without distracting you
from flying the plane and talking to ATC.
