Boss Audio MR508UABW Single-DIN Marine Bluetooth Receiver, White

The Boss Audio MR508UABW is a Single-DIN marine receiver built for open-air boating, delivering AM/FM radio, Bluetooth hands-free calling and audio streaming, and USB media playback in a chassis engineered to handle sun and spray. It is a mechless design, meaning there is no CD or DVD drive on board; instead, music comes from the front-panel USB port, the auxiliary input, or wirelessly via Bluetooth, giving boaters a simpler, moisture-resistant control surface. Bluetooth connectivity supports A2DP audio streaming so you can play music from apps like Spotify or Pandora, plus Push-To-Talk access to your phone's voice assistant without taking your hands off the wheel.

Built for the marine environment, the MR508UABW uses a conformal coated PCB to resist corrosion from moisture and salt air, along with a UV-protected front panel to guard against fading and cracking from prolonged sun exposure. The tuner is switchable between US and EU frequency bands, making the unit usable in either region. Output is rated at 50 watts x 4 channels, and the unit includes a wireless remote control for adjusting volume and source from a distance. The white finish coordinates with light-colored helm and console layouts common on boats.
