JL Audio launches the MM50 marine audio unit

July 5, 2018

JL Audio, an innovator in high-end marine audio solutions, recently announced the launch of a new 2.8” weatherproof, powered marine source unit.

The MM50 is a high-performance, single-chassis, powered source unit with outstanding audio performance and advanced audio features, specifically designed for marine applications. An easy-to-read, high-brightness, 2.8” full-colour LCD display with separate day/night lighting and display themes, an intuitive interface with large, easy-to-use backlit controls and independent user settings for display brightness and remote brightness make the MM50 engineered for real-world marine audio duty.

Flexible zone controls give you complete command of your marine listening experience. Configurable master volume control with independent feature/control options including tone controls for bass, midrange, treble and balance, independent or linked with zone 1; level controls so you can manage volume levels, together or individually at any time and a max volume limit where a set volume level limit can be applied for each zone.

The built-in amplifier generates 100W of high-fidelity output to power two main zones with both main zone output types including a high-pass crossover feature with selectable frequency selection. Designed for today’s modern media environment, the MM50 features a digital AM/FM tuner with Radio Data System display info (where available), along with the ability to store up to 18 of your favourite AM/FM stations.

Bluetooth compatibility allows you to stream top-quality audio from compatible devices and a USB 2.0 direct-digital connection accesses music files on your USB storage device or compatible smartphone. NMEA-2000 certified compatibility provides the user with full control of their digital audio content via select multifunction displays including Lowrance HDS Carbon, Simrad NSS evo3 and NSO evo3 along with B&G Zeus3.

Multifunction displays offer an efficient and user-friendly interface for navigation, radar and sonar information and audio content in one easy-to-use display. The MM50 has three remote controller options (each sold separately) to help you create a versatile audio command centre: the MMR-10W wireless remote controller system, the MMR-20-BE wired remote controller and the full-function MMR-40 NMEA2000 Network controller with LCD display.

Distributed by Navico, parent company to Lowrance, Simrad and B&G, the MM50 is available now from authorised dealers at $449 RRP.
