www.fusionentertainment.com This, one of Fusion’s higher-end stereos, has an internal waterresistant dock for safe charging and playback of your media player (phone/iPod), as well as bluetooth connectivity. It can also communicate over NMEA2000 networks to chartplotters and compatible devices.
The front of the unit folds down to reveal a drawer, USB port and AUX input so that you can keep your media device dry and charged. This was an improvement over the Aquatic AQ products, which require you to remove the panel entirely and thus cut the power – on this unit you can keep the unit running while you open the door.
Control was excellent, intuitive and well thought out, with the same control layout as the other Fusion products, and your album art can be displayed on the screen if connected by USB.
Four zones can be wired and controlled from the device. An external DAB radio module can also be connected if required.
The sound was excellent – crisp and clear, with a good range and tone. It was especially good at overcoming the noise of wind and waves in the cockpit, while maintaining a good, balanced, undistorted sound, with plenty of volume.
This was a particularly good, well thought-out piece of kit.
