Powerful Audio Performance Across Multiple Zones
Built for serious boaters, the SonicHub®2 delivers robust 50W x 4 amplification split across Zone 1 (front) and Zone 2 (rear), so everyone on board enjoys crystal-clear sound. Add depth with the pre-amp subwoofer output tied to Zone 1 for effortless bass control, plus a dedicated pre-amp Zone 3 output for expanded setups. Dual stereo aux inputs handle everything from CD players to SiriusXM via the optional WM-3 module, while video output through Composite RCA brings playback to your screens.
Wireless Streaming and Versatile Connectivity
Leave the dongles behind—integrated Bluetooth® connects instantly to your smartphone or tablet for wireless streaming, including Pandora® internet radio where available. Dual USB ports support MP3 playback, iPod integration, and device charging, keeping your music library and gadgets powered up.
