Stereo receiver checks all the boxes & more

Stereo Receiver

Sept 3, 2024

With marine stereos, flexibility, sound quality and durability are key attributes. The award-winning JBL JAM5000N source unit from RiverPark Marine checks a long list of must-have boxes and fills in many more — at a price point that’s hard to beat.

The all-weather JBL JAM5000N features a 2.8″ full-color TFT display with MFi (Made for iPhone) album artwork. Six soft-touch buttons and a low-profile rotary volume knob are intuitively designed.

Broad flexibility in listening preferences is paramount with the JBL JAM5000N. With super-fast Bluetooth® 5.0 connectivity, USB input with charging, and AM/FM/weather band reception, audio options are plentiful. Plus, with integrated NMEA 2000, the head unit is instantly recognized by the protocol for full control via a networked multifunction display.

JBL is renowned for its premium sound quality, and the JBL JAM5000N is no exception. The receiver delivers 4×55 watts peak @ 4 ohms for the volume needed when engines are roaring and refined accuracy when anchored or moored. Two-ohm stable, the device has three sets of preamp outputs, left, right and sub, and three zones, to turn the boat into a floating audiophile soundstage.

The wired remote ready JBL JAM5000N has a modern, thin square front panel that can be surface mounted or installed flush and easily installs with a circular cutout. Available from RiverPark Marine, the JBL JAM5000N head unit costs $449.95 USD.

Unless a boat is secured, it will drift away. If it cannot be attached to something secure, such as a dock, piling, mooring buoy, tree, or boulder, it must be anchored. There is much more to anchoring than simply tossing the anchor over the side. 
 
An anchoring system has two parts: the anchor itself and the rode which connects the anchor to the boat. To be effective, an anchor must have good holding power, and the rode must be strong enough to withstand the strains that are put on it.
