Turn Up the Tunes Apollo RA670 Stereo Unit The newest unit to the lineup of Apollo stereo systems is the RA670, a more compact stereo head that fits in between the larger RA770 and the smaller SRX400. The RA670 takes advantage of digital signal processing, which calculates loudness curves for clear audio and adjusts gain to eliminate feedback. The PartyBus mode and Personal modes allow you to either play the same synced audio throughout the whole boat or play your own choice of music in one area with-
out interrupting the vibe in another part of the boat. The RA670 features a wide range of source options, including Bluetooth, UPnP, Optical Audio, advanced SiriusXM features and DAB+ radio available, AM/FM radio, AUX and USB connections ready at the push of a button. The RA670 delivers three zones of audio control around your boat for customized listening, including individual volume control, localized menu control, and zone
naming. A true marine stereo system, the RA670 has a water-resistant front panel and has been tested to a high level for protection against salt spray, fog, temperature change, vibration, and UV. If you’re looking for a new sound system that will bring the party to every corner of your boat, you can head over to fusionentertainment.com and check out what they have to offer.
