Marine & Remote Features

Weatherproof Design: JL Audio's MediaMaster 105 (MM105) is designed and engineered for the marine environment, with marine-grade, weatherproof construction (IP67-rated) to withstand the elements. This source unit offers advanced audio features, specifically tailored to marine applications. A rubber face cover is included to put over the front-panel when its not in use for greater protection.

• Building serious marine products require a real commitment to environmental testing and materials specification. To this end, JL Audio has invested in Ultraviolet testing chambers (to simulate years of sun exposure) and Salt Fog chambers (to simulate years of exposure to salt-water environments). This testing is critical to building products that will not only sound great in your boat, but will also sound great for many years to come.
• While the MediaMaster 105 (MM105) is designed to be water-resistant, it should never be submerged under water or subjected to high-pressure water spray. Do not install the remote in areas of extreme heat.

3.5" LCD & Rotary Knob: The JL Audio MM105 features a high-brightness, full-color 3.5" LCD screen (320x240), a rotary control knob, and large push-buttons for ease of use in marine applications. The LCD offers Day/Night lighting modes with user-defined display brightness & themes. You can also adjust the brightness of the backlit rotary knob and push-buttons. The marine source unit's intuitive interface is easy to see and use while in motion on the water.

NMEA 2000 Compliant: The MediaMaster 105 is NMEA 2000 compliant and is compatible with a range of the world's leading Multi-Function Displays (MFD) for on-screen audio control; creating a centralized control station for your boat and a more user-friendly experience. NMEA 2000 is the most popular marine standard for data communication within boats, watercrafts, and vessels. When connecting the MediaMaster 105 with a NMEA 2000 supported Chartplotter or Fish finder, you bring your music to the big screen, allowing you to keep an eye on the charts or the fish while skipping tracks or adjusting the volume at the same time. Connection to a NMEA network requires NMEA 2000 cables & connectors (sold separately).

Note: With certified NMEA 2000 connectivity, the MM105 is an ideal partner to a Garmin, Lowrance, Raymarine or Simrad Multifunction Display (all sold separately).

Mounting Options: The MediaMaster 105 marine source unit requires a rectangular cutout in the bulkhead for inserting the chassis. Four screws (supplied) fasten the faceplate against the mounting surface, and hold the waterproof gasket against the bulkhead. A cardboard template is supplied to assist you with the cutout and drilling the screw holes.

• Chassis Cutout Size: 4.685" (w) x 3.215" (h) x 4.255" (d)
• Faceplate Dimensions: 4.975 (w) x 3.775" (h) x 1.4375" (d)
• Trim-ring Dimensions: 5.955" (w) x 3.905" h) x 0.785" (d)
• Screw Hole Spacing: 5.305" (w) x 1.965" (h) x 1.0" (d)

Note: The MM105 requires a custom cutout and does not fit in a standard Gauge-Style, Single-DIN, or Double-DIN opening.

Wiring Harness: The included wiring harness features four leads +12VDC (Red), Ground (Black), Illumination (Orange), and Amp Turn-On (Blue).

Low Voltage Alert: A built-in alert notifies you when the +12VDC supply voltage drops below 10 volts. If triggered, the unit will enter "Safe Mode" and mute audio output. A warning will also display on-screen with instructions to turn the unit off until normal operating voltage is restored.

Optional Remote Control: Wired and NMEA 2000 remote control options are available for the MediaMaster 105.

• Wired Remote: Connect an optional MMR-20-BE Wired Remote (13699921, sold separately) to add remote control functionality from extended locations (up to 3). You will also need a remote control extension cable (13699905, sold separately). If you are connecting more than one wired remote, you will need a 2-way splitter (13699908, sold separately).
• NMEA2000 Remote: The MMR-40 (13699910, sold separately) is a NMEA 2000 network remote controller designed to add full-function, auxiliary control to the MM105 source unit. The MMR-40 can be connected to a MediaMaster source unit through an established NMEA 2000 network (NMEA 200 cables and connectors sold separately), or a "closed" network using JL Audio's Powered Network Cable (13699928, sold separately). It will automatically recognize the connected host MM105 source unit. All host source unit controls and screen info are then mirrored onto the MMR-40's full-color, 2.8" LCD screen.

MediaMaster Remote App: The MediaMaster Remote app (for Apple iOS 13.0+ and Android OS 6.0+) is designed to deliver comprehensive controls in the palm of your hand from your compatible smartphone device. This app permits untethered control of the MediaMaster 105 marine source unit using your compatible mobile device, from up to 35' away via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). Control functions include -

• Power on/off

The MM105 is equipped with a total of 12 low-voltage, line-level RCA outputs (4V) to send audio signals to your external marine amplifiers. The 12ch/4Vl RCA outputs are divided into 4 zones with each zone consists of a set of stereo RCA outputs and a mono-RCA subwoofer output.

Note: This marine source unit does not feature a built-in amplifier. You will need to connect external amplifier(s) to this unit's pre-outs to power your marine speakers.

Multi-Zone Configuration: The JL Audio MediaMaster 105 offers excellent system control flexibility in a wide range of marine audio system configurations. The MediaMaster 105 features 4 separate audio zones with independently customizable features and control options - including Volume Control, Tone Control, Volume Limit, and Rename Zone. All zones feature a zero-clipping audio circuit design, with self-limiting tone controls to prevent speaker system damage.

Note: The same source is played back in each Zone (1-2-3-4).

Volume Limit: Volume Limit allows you to set a custom, maximum allowable volume level for each zone (1-2-3-4). The head unit's overall volume range is -62 to 0.

Level Control Modes: You select how you want each zone to respond to volume commands. Control all zones or individual zones at any time. A fixed output mode is also available.

• Relative: Links the volume levels of Zones 2, 3 and/or 4 with the level of Zone 1. Linked zones will proportionally track (follow) Zone 1's volume. The relative levels for each zone are independently adjustable, on-the-fly.
• Absolute: Creates a fully independent level control for a selected zone, with its own separate volume level slider.
• Fixed: Sets the output level of selected zones at a specific, fixed output level (4V, 2V or 1V RMS) that is not affected by the Volume control.
• Off: Disables the output of a selected zone.

Low Pass Crossover: Each of the MM105's mono-RCA subwoofer outputs feature their own variable low pass crossover that can be set to 60, 80, or 100Hz. The low pass crossover can also be turned off for a full-range audio signal.

Tone Controls: You can set independent Bass, Midrange, Treble, and Balance controls for each Zone (1-2-3-4). Or, you can link the same tone controls from Zone 1 to Zone 2-3-4.
