DS18 MXRC-BT HYDRO Bluetooth 5.0 Marine Digital Media Receiver with USB, AUX and RCA Output

The MXRC-BT is a compact source unit for marine and powersports audio installations where a conventional large stereo chassis is unnecessary. It combines Bluetooth streaming, USB playback, a wired auxiliary input and stereo RCA line-level outputs in a weather-resistant round control head.

Key Features and Benefits

• Bluetooth 5.0 with A2DP wireless audio streaming and an advertised wireless range of up to 35 ft under suitable conditions.
• USB music playback from drives up to 32GB plus a 3.5 mm AUX input for wired sources.
• Stereo 2.5V RCA line outputs connect to an external amplifier; this controller is not presented as a built-in speaker-power amplifier.
• Remote turn-on output can activate compatible amplifier systems.
• IP55 water resistance, UV/salt resistance, conformal-coated circuitry, blue backlit buttons and rubber controls.
