About the Fusion MS-UD650
Designed from the water up
Designed from the water up
Secure, watertight storage for your smartphone
Fusion's rugged MS-UD650 marine digital media receiver gives you outstanding performance, plus the "from the water up" thinking that makes their marine gear stand out from the crowd.
In addition to all the features you'd expect from a top-shelf receiver, the MS-UD650 adds a "Uni-Dock" storage pocket behind the flip-down face. This innovative water-resistant space lets you enjoy the music on your phone or device while keeping it safe, dry, and charged. The generous tray size accommodates a variety of devices, including the Samsung Galaxy S8 and iPhone® X.
Ready for your next cruise
The MS-UD650 can handle all your entertainment and communications needs when you're out on the water. You can connect the receiver to your NMEA 2000 network and communicate with any Fusion-Link™ certified Multi-Function Display or Fusion NMEA 2000-certified wired remote control (connectors sold separately).
This receiver sports built-in Bluetooth® connectivity, so you can stream music wirelessly using your Apple® or Android smartphone and see track information on the color screen. It supports iPod® or iPhone® audio and you can even enjoy Pandora control with “Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down” voting capability. The rotary encoder handles most controls, and you can see what's playing on the LCD screen.
Add satellite radio
If you love satellite radio, you can connect a SiriusXM tuner (subscription required) to enjoy music, sports, entertainment, news, and essential weather-related content when you're many miles offshore. And if you store your entertainment library on USB thumb drives or a portable device, you'll find the inputs you need to get connected and get crankin'. With Fusion's innovative Zone Control, you can adjust the volume in up to three distinct zones — a great feature for large vessels or tour boats.
Get the app
The Fusion-Link remote control app lets you navigate multiple entertainment sources, audio zones, and FUSION receivers connected to the same NMEA2000 network. You can control things via wi-fi using compatible Apple or Android devices or via Bluetooth from compatible Apple devices (Android coming soon).
Stylish and seaworthy
Fusion built the MS-UD650 for marine duty, but it's also designed for ease of use. The fully-sealed aluminum chassis serves as a solid foundation, while the face and switchgear are IPx5 water-resistant. Designed specifically for the rigors of the marine environment, the MS-UD650 is backed by the Fusion True Marine™ 3-year warranty.

Audio Section
Class D Amplifier: The Fusion MS-UD650 is equipped with a 26 watt RMS (70W Peak) x 4 channel stereo Class D amplifier for driving two pair of full-range marine speakers. Amplifier components are optimally configured for the side-fin aluminum heat sink, producing greater thermal efficiency
3V/3Ch Pre-Outs Per Zone (1-2-3): The Fusion MS-UD650 features 3V/3ch pre-outs for each Zone (1-2-3). Each set of 3ch pre-outs include stereo left/right channels and a mono-sub channel. You can set the head unit's low-pass sub pre-out filter to 55, 85, 120, or 160Hz for the mono-sub channel. You can also adjust the output level of the unit's sub pre-outs independently from the receiver's overall volume control.
Audio Controls: You can adjust the marine receiver's bass, mid, & treble from -12 to +12. You can also balance the sound from left to right. In addition, you can set the head unit's maximum volume limit for all three Zones.
Multi-Zone Technology: The MS-UD650 marine stereo features multi-zone technology which enables three audio Zones with independent volume control from the system's built-in amplifier and pre-outs. Each audio Zone will play the same source, but offers independent volume control of each Zone. You can set the balance, volume limit, subwoofer level, and name for each of the zones. When using the MS-UD650's built-in amplifier, up to two pairs of speakers can be connected per zone in parallel to increase the amplifier output. When using the unit's pre-outs, you will need an additional amplifier in that zone.
Dual Aux Inputs: Fusion's MS-UD650 marine stereo is fitted with a rear-panel 3.5mm input and a rear-panel stereo RCA auxiliary input for connecting external audio devices, other than an iPod/iPhone or Android device. The Aux inputs allow for a wide range of input levels thanks to its adjustable input gain (-9 to +9 dB).
Mounting Options
Bulkhead Mount: The MS-UD650 requires a rectangular cutout in the bulkhead for inserting the chassis. The marine receiver has a shallow mounting depth, perfect for space conscious installation on small boats and personal watercraft, where this is especially crucial. Four screws (supplied) fasten the faceplate against the mounting surface, and hold the waterproof gasket against the bulkhead. A paper template is supplied to assist you with the cutout and drilling the screw holes.
- Cutout Width = 7.125"
- Cutout Height = 2.125"
- Cutout Depth = 7.875"
- Nose Width = 8.5625"
- Nose Height = 3.125"
- Nose Depth = 1.375"
Hinged Door: Because of its folding-face plate to access the integrated UNI-Dock , there needs to be at least 0.625" of space left below the unit's front-panel and 3.5" of space in front of the front-panel in order to allow the hinged door to open.
Mounting Angle: You can install the unit within 45° of horizontal.
