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.

So when I heard that Pride Marine in Orillia, Ontario, had a Nimbus 365 Coupe in the water, I jumped at the chance to get out on it.

Tahiti—Updates from Paradise

By Zuzana Prochaska

I’ve been to Tahiti seven times—six on charter and once as crew for a couple of yachties. Over the 25 years that I’ve been visiting, it’s changed dramatically. Yet, inexplicably, it has also stayed the same.

Lounging on the flybridge of our Sunsail 454, I had time to think about this dichotomy as I toasted the nighttime skies of Bora Bora and specifically the Southern Cross, a constellation that never fails to hypnotize. As the Crosby, Stills & Nash (1982) tune reminds us:

…you understand now why you came this way.
