Marine Gauge-Style Receiver
Marine Two-Way Speakers
Marine Gauge-Style Receiver
IPX6 Certified: The Boss Audio marine gauge-style receiver has been engineered and tested for use in the harsh marine environment. The marine digital media receiver features UV coating and PC board with conformal coating to prevent fading and protect against corrosion. It also features IPX6 waterproof certification, so it can hold up in the marine environment and withstand powerful splashes of water out on the ocean or lake. During testing, water is projected at all angles through a 12.5mm nozzle at a flow rate of 100 liters/min at a pressure of 100 kN/m2 for 3 minutes from a distance of 3 meters.
Gauge-Style Mount: The Boss Audio marine digital media receiver can fit in a boat's 3" gauge-style opening. If your boat does not already have a gauge-style opening, the marine digital media receiver requires a round 3" cutout in the bulkhead for inserting the chassis. The integrated protective gasket, supplied U-bracket, and included hardware secure the unit in place against the mounting surface. Receiver dimensions are as follows -
- Chassis & Cutout: 3" (diameter) x 4.8125" (depth)
- Front-Panel: 4.375" (w) x 4.4375" (h) x 1.0625" (d)
Bluetooth Audio Streaming: Thanks to built-in Bluetooth 3.0, you can wirelessly stream stored music and music apps from your Bluetooth-enabled Apple iPod/iPhone/iPad, Android smartphone/tablet, or other Bluetooth source device to the Boss Audio marine gauge-style receiver. The unit offers Play/Pause & Previous/Next Track control (there is no song/artist info display).
USB-A Port: The Boss Audio marine gauge-style receiver is fitted with a rear-panel USB-A port attached to the rear-chassis via a 7" cable. The USB-A port allows you to plug in your USB mass storage class device, like a USB thumbdrive or portable digital audio player (up to 32GB) for playback of MP3/WMA music files (up to 65,000 songs). Your USB MSC device must be formatted in FAT 32. The unit offers Play/Pause & Previous/Next Track control (there is no song/artist info display). If your USB MSC device can be charged via USB, the unit's USB (5V/1A) port will charge your device while connected.
Aux Input: The Boss Audio marine gauge-style receiver is equipped with a rear-panel stereo RCA Aux input attached to rear-chassis via a 7" cable. The stereo RCA aux input allows you to connect an external audio device with a stereo RCA output. If you have a source device that has a 3.5mm output, then you will need a stereo RCA-to-minijack adapter (sold separately).
AM/FM + Weather Band Tuner: The Boss Audio marine gauge-style receiver features a built-in AM/FM tuner, plus a 7-channel NOAA weather band tuner. You can store up to 12 FM and 6 AM preset stations. You can also select between US or European tuning.
