NEW PRODUCTS - Clarion CMS1 'Black Box'
Clarion says its CMS1 marine digital media AM/FM receiver represents an entirely new and unique source unit category for marine and harsh environment applications.
This two-piece system is comprised of an IPX-6 rated command center and a hide-away brain ‘black box’ module.
The CMS1 is an AM/FM/Weather Band Digital Media receiver with a built-in 40Wx4 amplifier, USB Port, iPod interface port with iPod battery recharge function, an auxiliary input and a preamp output.
Clarion said also unique to CMS1 is its electrical design, using an EEPROM to store information it doesn’t require a constant power connection and means that when the boat’s ignition is turned off it doesn't draw current ensuring no chance of a dead battery.
“The CMS1 is the perfect solution for boats that don't have room for a conventional source unit or for harsh environments,” said Clarion.
“The CMS1 is ready for Clarion's new 2009 wired remote control system. Choose the MW1 7.6cm remote for full control over your source unit functionality and enjoy an LCD display to let you know what’s going on.
“Our MW2 50cm remote has all the same functionality, but without the display. You can connect up to three remotes to a single compatible source unit with the MWRYC Y-cable and MWRXC 7 metre extension cable,” Clarion said.
The Clarion CMS1 has a recommended retail price of $439.
