JL Audio 010-04305-00 A60-H 4-Zone Hideaway Marine Head Unit
Soundwaves made for the water. The JL Audio A60-H hideaway marine head unit, model 010-04305-00, brings high-quality sound to your boat without crowding the helm. Its compact chassis is designed for installation inside a concealed compartment, helping streamline the look of the boat while keeping the audio system out of sight. Built specifically to integrate with compatible Garmin multifunction displays, this marine source suits boaters who want an uncluttered command area and capable onboard entertainment.
The A60-H puts advanced audio management at the center of the experience. Four-zone technology lets you shape the soundtrack for separate areas of the boat, while built-in Digital Signal Processing optimizes the signal and manages power sent to connected speakers and subwoofers. Easy Tune works through the free Garmin Audio app, simplifying DSP setup and tailoring high-quality audio to the listening environment. Wireless streaming from smart devices joins AM, FM, USB, USB audio, iPhone, iPod and AUX source support, giving every trip a versatile selection of entertainment options.
Audio control can follow you around the boat instead of staying fixed at the helm. Use a compatible Garmin smartwatch or the Garmin Audio smartphone app to manage the playlist wirelessly, or connect through the boat's NMEA 2000 network for convenient access from compatible Garmin MFDs. The hideaway design is also prepared for marine use, with protection against water ingress and testing for salt fog, temperature, vibration and UV exposure. Together, its concealed installation, flexible control and advanced sound technologies create a premium four-zone audio system made for time on the water.
