Audio amplifier

How to choose a boat amp?

The first question to ask is: how many speakers do I want to connect to my boat?

Boat amplifiers have from 1 to 8 channels. One channel can generally power up to 2 speakers connected in parallel, or a subwoofer.

For example, the Apollo 4 1200W amplifier has 4 channels at 150W RMS (at 4 Ohms) and can therefore drive a maximum of 8 speakers, i.e. 4 pairs of speakers connected in parallel, or 2 pairs of speakers and a subwoofer.

Why choose a special amplifier for my boat?

Fusion amplifiers are specially designed to withstand the conditions of sailing at sea (salt spray, temperature, vibration and UV), making them ideal for use on boats.

What's more, they are compatible with all Fusion equipment (speakers, subwoofers or marine stereos).

Different ranges for my marine amplifier:

Depending on your needs and your equipment, you'll need to look at the features and options of each. 3 amplifier ranges stand out:

• Top of the range with the Apollo class D models with Easy Tune option compatible with DSP fusion radios Apollo RA770, Apollo RA670, Apollo WB670 and MS-RA210.
• Mid-range with Signature Class D aluminum-alloy models, ideal for harsh marine environments.
• Bottom of the range with class AB AM amplifiers, more power-hungry, but just as high-performance

Easy Tune / Fusion Link:

The Easy Tune option is available only on the Apollo amplifier range, and makes it easy to configure your Apollo marine amplifier without the need to fine-tune oradjust complexaudio parameters .

Simply select the relevant DSP audio profiles in the Fusion-Link app on your compatible smartphone to tune and synchronize your amplifier for optimum audio reproduction. Audio parameters will be adjusted automatically for the best possible sound quality.

Installation options and zone:

Only Apollo amplifiers are supplied with a stand, other Signature and AM amplifiers are to be mounted directly.

All amplifiers are zone-capable. So you can separate your loudspeaker pairs into different zones and adjust the sound independently throughout the boat.

An example of use: a water-skiing boat wishing to broadcast music at high volume for those on the water, and lower volume for passengers, will have 2 independent zones with adjustable volume via the stereo or zone remote control (not supplied).
