Fusion RA70N

www.fusionentertainment.com The interface on this stereo is exactly the same as the RA55 above, but this has been designed to replace a standard car stereo. We tried it on my boat, and it fitted perfectly in the slot vacated by the existing Kenwood car radio, clamping in with a faceplate and backing plate and requiring no extra fixing or screw holes to be securely clamped. This version – the 70N – has NMEA connectivity, and, connected to the boat’s NMEA2000 network, can be controlled via the boat’s chartplotter. Audio inputs include compatible ipods, Bluetooth, an AUX input and an AM/FM radio.

Two separate zones can be named and controlled – we named them ‘cockpit’ and ‘cabin’ – and the interface was intuitive and easy to use.

The sound was identical to the RA55, with a nice, even tone and a good amount of power that made it audible over the noise of wind and waves.
