New marine multi-media receiver from HARMAN

HARMAN International Industries has launched its new JBL Advanced Marine (JAM) JAM6500N head unit.

The JAM6500N is a marine multi-media receiver designed to deliver a marine audio stereo solution with built-in DSP audio tuning.

The JAM6500N can be adjusted with the four-zone independent output with each zone having its own tone control.

From the head unit users can use the built-in equaliser for fine-tune adjustments. For advanced tuning JBL has added the JBL Advanced Tuning Tool V1, a consumer-facing DSP tuning tool that connects via a Windows PC.

The JAM6500N is engineered to be capable of transmitting audio from multiple sources, including Bluetooth performance with a 30-yard communication range, USB-C, auxiliary input and AM/FM, while providing connectivity for SiriusXM and DAB+ playback.

IPX7 rating

It provides four zones of volume, tone and equaliser control with a ten-band EQ for each zone, each having their independent sub-level controls.

The unit has an IPX7 rating and can be surface or flush mounted.

It has a 4.3in bonded sunlight-viewable display, along with five rubberized buttons and a rotary encoder.

JBL Advanced Marine JAM6500N is NMEA 2000 certified.

“At JBL we pride ourselves in the innovation, versatility and performance of our marine stereos,” said Kent Jopling, senior global sales manager, special markets.

“The new JBL JAM6500N not only looks and sounds great, but its intuitive tuning tool allows users and installers to dial in the sound quality to perfectly match the unique set up of the boat.”
