The MMR-40 is a NMEA 2000® Network Controller engineered to add full‑function, auxiliary control to MediaMaster® source units.

Outfitted with a NMEA 2000® Micro‑C connector, the MMR‑40 connects to a host MediaMaster® source unit in two ways:

• Direct interface with a vessel's NMEA 2000® network using applicable NMEA 2000® cables and connectors
• Direct connection of one MMR‑40 with one host MediaMaster® source unit using MMC‑PN2K powered network cables to simulate an isolated, stand‑alone NMEA 2000® network

Once connected, the MMR‑40 automatically recognizes the host MediaMaster® source unit and will then mirror all host source unit controls and screen info onto the MMR‑40's full‑color, 2.8‑inch LCD display, resulting in a complete MediaMaster® user experience.

The MMR-40 is equipped with independent display theme and lighting controls for maximum mounting location flexibility, regardless of the settings on the host source unit. Engineered for real‑world marine (and many outdoor) applications, its weatherproof (IP66 rated) chassis is built to withstand the harshest environments.

The MMR-40 includes the following features:

• NMEA 2000® Certified (LEN 4)

M3 and M6 Marine Speakers

JL Audio’s reputation as a leader in marine audio was built on the quality of our marine loudspeakers. We build them with the most durable materials and assemble all of them with precision in our Miramar, Florida factory to withstand real marine duty. JL Audio offers two series of marine speaker systems: M3 and M6.

The M3 handily outperforms conventional marine speakers and is sized to work as a direct replacement for them.

M6 speakers are maximum‑performance, no‑holds‑barred speaker systems with higher power handling, a larger tweeter and greater output capability.

Both series are available with, or without RGB lighting.

High Performance

The JL Audio team knows what is demanded of a speaker out on the water and through its experienced engineers and designers has created a speaker that sounds simply phenomenal. Knowing there will be severe high frequency cancellation due to the abundance of environmental noises such as wind, waves, engines or sails, JL Audio voice all of its marine speakers more aggressively than they do a car speaker. This allows the speaker to perform as if there were no noise obstacles to deal with, providing complete clarity and depth.

Sound Quality

It is not just the output potential that is important when designing a speaker, the projection and dispersion paths can be equally important. As well as speakers designed for listening on board, JL Audio also manufactures sports boat speakers which can be enjoyed behind the boat when swimming, wake boarding or water skiing. They therefore need to be able to project far enough and wide enough for someone riding the wake to be able to hear and enjoy. When developing the M6-880X coaxial speakers the goal was to find a combination of distance and width without compromising the sound quality. The resultant speaker has been described as “in a class of its own”.

Industry Leading Testing

JL Audio does not test its products on a soundboard like many of its competitors; all speakers at the prototype stage are tested out on the water. Products go through stringent moisture, salt, fog, thermal and UV testing as well as humidity testing with a range of 10% to 98%. Each component is individually tested and then tested again in various pairings until the best combination of materials is selected to ensure longevity onboard without compromising sonic performance.

Thermal testing ensures plastic based materials and adhesives will not crack or weaken during sudden temperature changes, such as a speaker sitting in the hot sun then getting splashed with cold water.

UV testing means plastic parts don’t fade or weaken after prolonged sun exposure, while moisture testing checks the impact of salt water, or salt air, on corrosion as well as the overall reliability after getting wet.

At JL Audio, subwoofers are serious business and an essential part of our formula for great marine audio. A running powerboat produces a huge amount of low frequency noise, which is impossible for small full‑range speakers to overcome. Adding a subwoofer not only gives you vastly better low‑frequency output—it will help your whole system sound cleaner and louder, too.

The addition of a marine subwoofer on board your boat will make your whole system sound complete, with greater depth of sound, clarity and bass. JL AUDIO’s maximum performance marine subwoofers deliver exceptional bass that will impress not only with its sheer level, but even more with its smoothness, balance and precision.

But it’s not just about the bass; a properly implemented subwoofer system relieves the main speakers from the stress of having to reproduce the lowest frequencies in your music. Free from this burden, they can play louder and cleaner, giving you far better overall audio performance.

Because you expect great performance and top quality when you choose JL Audio for your marine audio system, our speakers use marine grade materials to ensure outstanding longevity in real-world boating use. Most importantly, our fanatical approach to sound quality is in full effect, optimized for moderate power systems.

M3 marine speaker systems are available in a wide range of colour and grille style combinations. Select models are available with multi-colour cone illumination, so you can add some visual highlights to your boat to go along with the great audio performance.

M3-650X Coaxial Speakers

Purpose-engineered and built for real marine duty, M3 coaxial systems deliver excellent performance at a more affordable price than our maximum-performance M6 models.

The M3-650X 6.5-inch coaxial speaker is designed around the standard marine 6.5-inch speaker format and features a wide mounting flange with a four hole mounting pattern.

M3-770X Coaxial Speakers

The oversized 7.7-inch design of the M3-770X results in increased efficiency (more output for a given amount of power). This gives them the ability to play louder and cleaner at high volumes than smaller speakers.

The M3 Marine Subwoofers are the affordable alternative for those who value great bass performance in their boat. Designed by the same team and built on the same U.S. production line as the more expensive M6 Marine Subwoofer Drivers, they deliver outstanding sub-bass performance in moderate power applications.

The M3-10IB is designed for infinite-baffle operation so that it can be installed in a variety of locations, without the need for a dedicated enclosure.

M6 marine speakers are designed to deliver a powerful and smooth sound in open-air boat environments. The M6 speaker systems are available in a wide range of beautiful looks. Choose from classic or sport grille systems, white or titanium colour schemes, and speaker sizes.

M6-650X Coaxial Speakers

The M6-650X is our maximum performance speaker for traditional marine 6.5-inch mounting locations, allowing you to easily upgrade standard speakers on a wide range of boats.

M6-770X Coaxial Speakers

For an extra sonic edge, consider our oversized, 7.7-inch diameter coaxial M6. It delivers more bass, higher output and better clarity at high volume levels than 6.5-inch speakers, thanks to 20% more sound radiating area and a larger tweeter.

M6-880X Coaxial Speakers

For those who believe that there is no such thing as “too much of a good thing,” our massive 8.8-inch coaxials deliver a giant performance leap, even surpassing the output and low-frequency capabilities of our very capable 7.7-inch models.

JL Audio M6 marine subwoofer drivers benefit from the same technological base that has produced the world's finest home and automotive subwoofers.

They have been designed with the aid of our most advanced modelling technologies and are built with fanatical attention to detail in our Miramar, Florida factory to withstand years of duty in a true marine environment.

To achieve the best low-frequency performance in real-world, open-air marine environments, you need a specialized subwoofer driver. This is why we offer the M6 marine subwoofers in two distinct versions:

• Infinite Baffle Subwoofers
• Subwoofers for Enclosures

Infinite Baffle Subwoofers can be installed in a variety of locations, without the need for dedicated enclosure.

Subwoofers for Enclosures feature extremely long linear excursion capability for outstanding output and low-distortion performance. They are available as raw drivers or pre-loaded in a 100% fiberglass enclosures, precisely tuned to extract optimum performance.

When JL Audio puts the number "7" in a speaker's model series, you can be sure it is something very special. M7's are extreme subwoofers, with oversized, overbuilt components and very powerful motor systems. They are optimized for high‑power, infinite baffle operation and require special attention to the mounting surface to perform at their peak.

M7 is available with (or without) our patented Transflective™ RGB lighting technology, in Sport or Classic grille styles, and in white or gunmetal/titanium finishes.
