The IPX6 rated CMS2 is a digital media powerhouse designed specifically for marine and other recreational vehicle applications. The two-piece system includes a compact black box for installation flexibility and a weather protected controller. The easy-to-see 3-line full DOT matrix backlit LCD display provides users information at a glance and it is designed to be mounted in a variety of places and positions thanks to its ability to sustain moisture and water spray from multiple directions.
"Our new CMS2 gives users everything they need in a marine audio system in one sleek, easy to operate system," stated Allen H. Gharapetian, Vice President of Marketing and Product Planning for Clarion Corporation of America. "But, we designed the CMS2 with expandability and performance in mind to allow users to create their own custom audio listening experience out on the water with smartphone connectivity and all the essential features, including built-in Bluetooth receiver for stereo audio streaming, built-in global AM/FM/weather band, satellite radio readiness, AUX input RCA's, and USB input with 1,1A charging."
Clarion's new CMS2 utilizes a 32-bit micro controller paired together with a 4.1 channel audio processor to deliver high-end performance and top sound quality. It is also equipped with 6 channels of RCA outputs at 2 volts each and features a powerful built-in amplifier that continuously monitors the system to maintain low distortion levels and optimizes sound quality. The unit is also equipped with the most advanced wireless connectivity available today including Bluetooth 4.0, featuring CSR's aptX audio codec, which provides lossless, CD quality audio when streaming over Bluetooth.
The CMS2's simple yet robust design makes it a perfect fit for the marine environment with the quality and durability that Clarion is known for. Visit http://www.clarionmarinesystems.com for more information.
