Thanks to the integration of Garmin’s most advanced audio technologies, including Digital Signal Processing (DSP) and Easy Tune through the renewed Garmin Audio app, the new units allow users to precisely configure and manage the onboard audio system and control up to four independent zones.
Music is always within reach thanks to the possibility of managing the system through dedicated remote controls, the Garmin Audio app on a smartphone or compatible Garmin quatix smartwatches.
Hear the difference
The JL Audio A60 introduces Bluetooth LE streaming, developed to provide high-quality audio and improved sound clarity directly from compatible smart devices.
The integrated DSP optimizes the signal to improve the listening experience while also helping protect the various components of the system through proper management of the power delivered to speakers and subwoofers.
The Marine Audio Multi-Zone technology also allows up to four zones to be managed independently, adapting volume and tuning to the different areas of the boat. System configuration is further simplified by Easy Tune, available through the new Garmin Audio app, which allows users to quickly optimize the system settings.
On the JL Audio A60 version, interaction with the system takes place through a new 2.95-inch color display, designed to provide clear visualization and excellent readability even in direct sunlight.
Audio control, however, is not limited to the helm. Thanks to wireless connectivity, playback can be managed from different points around the boat through the Garmin Audio app or compatible Garmin smartwatches.
The new units are also compatible with the NMEA 2000 standard, allowing integration with Garmin multifunction displays and the JL Audio NRX-300 wired remote control.
Completing the equipment is an integrated DAB tuner, which provides access to Digital Audio Broadcasting transmissions and offers clearer and more reliable radio reception compared with traditional analog AM/FM signals.
Modern design and integration
Designed to follow the latest design trends, the JL Audio A60 features a refined and contemporary appearance, intended to integrate harmoniously with modern helm stations.
For installations where minimizing the footprint on the console is a priority, the JL Audio A60-H provides a completely hidden solution.
The system has been developed to integrate directly with Garmin displays, leaving the helm cleaner and more minimalist without giving up the functionality and audio quality of the A60 platform.
Both models have been specifically designed for use in the marine environment and feature IPX6 and IPX7 certifications, ensuring resistance to water and typical boating conditions, including exposure to salt and UV rays. This is designed to provide reliability and durability even in the most demanding conditions.
