Music at sea is becoming increasingly an essential element of navigation experience, thanks to new technologies that allow you to enjoy a high quality sound even in extreme environments. The latest news in the nautical audio industry, such as JL Audio and Audison Marine products, offer innovative solutions to improve boat listening, ensuring resistance and sound loyalty. Available in different versions, these units are designed to resist the climatic and acoustic conditions typical of the sea, offering an audio experience similar to a concert hall.
High fidelity and resistant audio units
The new JL Audio A60 and A60-H units are a step forward in the field of nautical audio, thanks to their ability to manage sound efficiently and adaptable. Available in two versions, the A60 with 2.95 inch color display and the A60-H without screen, both offer advanced connectivity, including high fidelity Bluetooth LE streaming, integrated DAB tuner and Audio Multi-Zone technology to manage up to four independent areas. The IPX6 and IPX7 certification provides effective protection against salsedine, water splashes and UV rays, making them ideal for use at sea. Integrated DSP technology allows you to calibrate sound in a simple and immediate way, also manageable by Garmin smartwatch or by dedicated remote controls. This makes installation and maintenance of the plant more accessible, even for those who have no specific experience in the sector.
The JL Audio M200 subwoofer for deep and powerful sound
For those looking for a more intense and defined sound, the subwoofer JL Audio M200 is the ideal choice. Designed for the open spaces of a well, the M200 offers a power of 250 W and a deep and well defined sound, thanks to materials resistant to salsedine and solar degradation. Available in white or grey version with RGB LED lighting, the M200 completes the onboard system, ensuring a rhythmic push needed to counter the wind and wave motion noise.
Environmental damage resistance is a crucial aspect for the effectiveness of the system, especially in prolonged use conditions at anchor. The M200 is designed to ensure constant performance even in extreme environments. The partnership between Electromedia and Navico Group has made it possible to integrate Audison and Hertz into the Navico Group portfolios, with the Navico platforms that will become the reference hardware for Electromedia. This collaboration has created a complete ecosystem, which includes speakers, subwoofers and amplifiers integrated with sophisticated digital signal processors.
To ensure a good audio experience on board, it is important to evaluate the certification and protection of the components installed outside, ensuring that they are resistant to salsedine, water splashes and UV rays. In addition, the presence of a DSP allows to calibrate time delays and frequencies according to the actual position of the seats, improving sound quality in open environments. Energy efficiency is another crucial aspect, especially for prolonged use at anchor, where the choice of high energy efficiency amplifiers minimizes current absorption.
