Features
Marine Receiver: The Clarion
CMD4A Marine CD receiver has been treated for use in the harsh marine
environment. The receiver meets or exceeds ASTM B117 Salt/Fog Exposure and ASTM
D4329 UV Exposure standards. The faceplate features a unique rubber gasket and
door assembly offering the internal components complete water protection. The top of the chassis is covered with an
integrated drip shield and mounting gasket to seal the bulkhead, and to further
augment the water-resistant faceplate. The
microprocessor and circuit board are sealed with a Pelgan Z conformal
clear coating to protect them from corrosion.
2-Band Equalizer: The receiver features
rotary bass and treble knobs with adjustable parameters, so it effectively has a 2-band
parametric equalizer. The gain, center frequency, and Q can be adjusted for bass and treble as
follows:
- Bass Gain: -6 to +6
(max adjustment is +/-15dB)
- Bass Freq: 60Hz, 100Hz, or
200Hz
- Bass Q: 1, 1.25, 1.5 or 2
- Treble Gain: -6 to +6
(max adjustment is +/-12dB)
- Treble Freq: 10kHz or
15khz
Contrast: You can
set the contrast level between 1 and 8 for best display visibility.
Auxiliary Input: This unit
features a rear mounted, stereo RCA auxiliary input on a 2-1/4" pigtail. The
sensitivity of the input can be set (low, mid, or high) to match the output of
the auxiliary source to the other sources.
Non-fading Output: In addition
to the front and rear preamp outputs, the CMD4A is equipped with a
non-fading preamp output with an adjustable volume from -6 to +6. There is no
low-pass filter on the non-fading output.
Auto
Reload: When a 12cm CD is ejected and left
sticking out of the CD slot for 15 seconds, the unit automatically reloads the
CD to protect if from damage. (8cm/3-1/2" CDs are not reloaded automatically)
Optional Wired Remote Control:
The CMD4A is equipped with a rear mounted DIN connector to accommodate an
optional Clarion wired marine remote control. The CMRC1, a wired remote with an
LCD, and the CMRC2 wired remote w/o LCD, are both compatible with the CMD4A
receiver.
