Marine Features

Hide-Away Marine Source Unit: The JL Audio MM80-HR is a hide-away marine source unit that requires the MediaMaster MMR-40 NMEA2000 network remote controller (13699910, sold separately) or a NMEA 2000 compatible MFD (sold separately) for operation of the concealed audio receiver (there are not physical controls on the MM80-HR hide-away source box). Cable and T-connector are included to integrate the MM80-HR into your NMEA 2000 network.

NMEA2000 Remote (sold separately): The MMR-40 (13699910, sold separately) is a NMEA 2000 network remote controller designed to add full-function, auxiliary control to the MediaMaster MM80-HR source unit. The MMR-40 can be connected to the MediaMaster source unit through an established NMEA 2000 network (NMEA 200 cables and connectors sold separately), or a "closed" network using JL Audio's Powered Network Cable (13699928, sold separately). It will automatically recognize the connected host MM50 source unit. All host source unit controls and screen info are then mirrored onto the MMR-40's full-color, 2.8" LCD screen.

• 2.8" LCD Screen: The JL Audio MMR-40 NMEA 2000 network remote controller is equipped with an easy-to-read, high-brightness, 2.8" full-color LCD screen with a resolution of 320 x 240. The MMR-40 offers independent day/night display themes and lighting controls. All off the MediaMaster MM80HR host source unit screen information will be visible on the MMR-40's 2.8" LCD screen.
• Backlit Controls: The JL Audio MMR-40 offers large backlit controls that consist of eight push-buttons and one 3-way rotary knob. All off the MediaMaster MM80-HR host source unit's controls will be operated through the MMR-40 remote.
• Mounting Options: The MediaMaster MMR-40 requires a rectangular cutout (3.65"W x 3.065"H) in the bulkhead for inserting the chassis. Four screws (supplied) fasten the unit against the mounting surface, and hold the waterproof gasket against the bulkhead. A cardboard template is supplied to assist you with the cutout and drilling the screw holes.

NMEA 2000 Compliant: The MediaMaster MM80-HR is NMEA 2000 compliant and is compatible with a range of the world's leading Multi-Function Displays (MFD) for on-screen audio control; creating a centralized control station for your boat and a more user-friendly experience. NMEA 2000 is the most popular marine standard for data communication within boats, watercrafts, and vessels. When connecting the MM80-HR with a NMEA 2000 supported Chartplotter or Fish finder, you bring your music to the big screen, allowing you to keep an eye on the charts or the fish while skipping tracks or adjusting the volume at the same time.

Water Resistant Design: JL Audio's MediaMaster MM80-HR features water resistant construction (IPX2 rated) to help it withstand the marine environment. The MM80-HR has been tested to withstand dripping water when rotated 15-degrees in an y direction from vertical for at least 10 minutes.

Mounting Options: The MM80-HR is designed to be mounted out of sight in the boat or vessel's cabin away from direct exposure to sunlight, water, and the marine environment. It features integrated mounting flanges to secure the hide-away source unit to a flat surface of your boat using four screws (not included). The JL Audio MM80-HR measures 9.25" (w) x 2.25" (h) x 5.9375" (d).

iPod/iPhone Direct Connection: The unit's two USB ports can be also be used to connect your Lightning-connector iPod/iPhone with the cable that came with your Apple device. The MM80-HR supports audio playback, category browsing (Playlist/Artist/Song/Album/Genre), song/artist information with album art, and charging of your compatible Apple device. An iPhone or iPod touch allows you to continue to use your Apple device's touchscreen while connected in order to access other applications. The MM80-HR is "Made for iPod/iPhone" compatible and supports the following iPod/iPhone Lightning model features (as of 5/1/2019):

Three Zone Operation: The JL Audio MM80-HR provides Three Zone operation (the same source is played back in each zone). Audio output options for Zone 1 include an onboard amplifier and low-level line outputs. Zone 2 can only be powered by the built-in amplifier, while Zone 3 only offers low-level line outputs for connecting an external amplifier. Each zone has its own flexible audio options and is controlled by a MMR-40 NMEA 2000 network remote or a NMEA 2000 compatible MFD (both sold separately) giving you complete command of volume levels in different areas of your boat. All zones also utilize a zero-clipping audio circuit, with self-limiting tone controls to prevent speaker system damage.

Built-In 30W x 4Ch Amplifier: The MM80-HR's built-in amplifier generates 160 watts of high-fidelity output (rated at 30 watts RMS x 4 channel) to power speakers in Zone 1 and Zone 2.

4Ch/2V Pre-Outs: The MM80-HR is also equipped with 4Ch/2V pre-outs for connecting external amplifiers to power speakers in Zone 1 and Zone 3.

Tone Controls: You can set independent Bass, Midrange, Treble, and Balance controls for each zone. Or, you can link the same tone controls to both zones.

Level Control Modes: Level Control Mode delivers on-the-fly volume adjustments of all zones, together or individually.

• Variable: The volume knob adjusts all zones simultaneously, with independent control of each zone's relative offset level
• Fixed: Sets the output level of selected zones at a specific output voltage (4V, 2V or 1V RMS) that is not affected by the volume control
• Off: Disables the output level of selected zones.

Volume Limit: Volume Limit allows you to set a custom, maximum allowable volume level for each zone. The head unit's volume range is -62 to 0.

Rename Zone: You can create your own names for each zone or choose from preset names (Bow, Bridge, Cabin, Cockpit, Galley, Helm, Stateroom 1, Stateroom 2, Tower, Transom).
