App Controlled Multimedia Unit Ups the Anti for Marine Audio

Multimedia Unit

 

 
ASA Electronics recently announced the arrival of the MA300—an app ready multimedia unit that can be controlled directly through your mobile device.
               
In addition to app control and Bluetooth® capabilities, the 160 watt stereo comes complete with standard audio options such as an AM/FM tuner as well as advanced technology like iPod®/iPhone® functionality through a rear USB port. Additionally, this stereo has an auxiliary input and a line out audio (RCA).
 
As an added safety feature, the stereo provides a seven-channel NOAA weatherband tuner that warns boaters of inclement weather and a zero current memory draw which allows for successful boat storage without running down the battery. If the battery should ever run low, this stereo is equipped to audibly notify boaters, helping to eliminate the potential to be stranded.
 
The MA300 is designed with a white LED backlit dot matrix LCD display and buttons to provide boaters with a user-friendly interface. There are three mounting options available with this stereo, including front or rear flush mount and surface mount. The MA300 is also compatible with the MARC100 remote control.
 
As with all Marine Audio® products, this unit is built to thrive in aquatic conditions. The MA300 is UV and corrosion resistant and is also constructed with conformal-coated circuit boards.

The Erie Canal – An Extraordinary Waterway

As I shift our chartered canal boat into neutral, I’m soothed by the soundtrack of bird calls, the occasional plaintive horn of a distant train and the hum of our engine.

I reach for the VHF to radio the lockmaster in charge of Erie Canal’s Lock 32 dead ahead. Our boat spins gently in the current like a maple key in a mud puddle.

“This is Onondaga,” I say. “Headed westbound and requesting passage.”
