MARINE / IP66 – “RADIO“ 

With nearly 30 years of experience in the field of car audio and know-how in the naviceiver segment, ESX is now opening another chapter with MARINE AUDIO: Two marine-grade media receivers that meet all the requirements are starting spoil the high seas with good music and a high level of operating comfort. Important here is the certification in protection class IP66, so the devices equipped with LCD color displays can also provide good sound in places where moisture, dust and weather conditions cause problems for normal devices. Aside from marine use, the installation-friendly radios can also be used in gazebos, on tractors, in the pool house or in bathrooms, thanks to their properties

DAB+ & BLUETOOTH ON BOARD

Easy to install thanks to the "ALL-IN" philosophy: In addition to FM, ESX also has a very high-quality "Made in Europe" DAB+ tuner integrated, which does not require the usual components to be installed externally. It ensures optimal digital reception, especially in the fringe areas of the densely packed European broadcasting areas. If you are a little further out, i.e. without radio reception, the music can be "streamed" wirelessly from your smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth directly into the device as an audio signal.

COLOR LCD & ROTARY CONTROLS

Conventional marine radios often only have a simple monochrome display. ESX VMR receivers have high-resolution LCD color displays that enable clear menu navigation including the display of station logos. The centrally located, large rotary control offers additional comfort, with which you can easily adjust the volume without having to press annoying +/- rockers. As an additional "controller", an optionally available cable remote control can be permanently installed at another point on the boat to control the functions. A color camera can be connected to the video input, which can be used either for room surveillance of areas or for reverse parking. An external monitor can also be controlled

VMR301 vs. VMR303 / 1 or 3 zones 

The VMR301 is a 1-zone device with 4 x 50 watts of power. The basic functions (volume, source) in this zone can also be operated from another location using the optional VMR301C remote control. The VMR303 even has a 3 zone control + sub-output. For example, if there is a bedroom (e.g. zone 2) or bathroom (e.g. zone 3) below deck, music can be played there at separate volumes. This requires an additional amplifier and the optionally available remote control VMR303C.
