Boss Audio Systems MR1308UAB Weatherproof Marine Bluetooth Receiver, White

The Boss Audio Systems MR1308UAB is a weatherproof single-DIN marine digital media receiver built to bring reliable audio to boats and other marine environments. Since it is mechless, there is no CD player; instead, music comes from Bluetooth streaming, a USB port, an SD port, or AM/FM radio. Bluetooth connectivity lets you play and control music wirelessly from a smartphone or MP3 player, including apps such as Spotify and Pandora, and also supports hands-free calling. The USB and SD inputs give access to a large library of digital audio files, while the auxiliary input accepts audio output directly from a smartphone or MP3 player. Front pre-amp outputs are provided for connecting external speakers or an amplifier.

Weatherproofing is a core feature of the MR1308UAB: the unit is finished with UV-protective coatings and weatherproofing techniques designed to resist corrosion and withstand exposure to sun, moisture, and spray on the water. The front panel is detachable, letting you remove and store it separately for added security and peace of mind when the boat is unattended. The receiver includes a wireless remote control and a built-in EQ with presets, and it outputs 50 watts x 4 channels (200 watts total) to power connected marine speakers. It is finished in white to complement light-colored helm and dash environments.
