Hi-Res Audio
The RA800 is our first marine radio to support lossless Hi-Res Audio (up to 24 bit at 96 kHz).
It delivers outstanding sound quality and enables seamless audio streaming via Wi-Fi
Optimized internal amplifier
The integrated Class-D amplifier can deliver 4 x 40 watts (RMS; all channels driven) with less than 0.1% total harmonic distortion (THD) at 4 ohms and produces more than 50% more power than its predecessor.
High-resolution display
The radio’s 4.3-inch LCD touchscreen has been significantly improved in terms of display resolution, color saturation, viewing angle, and readability in bright daylight.
PartyBus network with Multi-Zone technology
With the PartyBus network and Multi-Zone technology, you can connect multiple Apollo series radios to share audio sources across zones on the boat.
Multiple audio sources
You have a wide range of sources available, including AirPlay streaming from Apple®, BLUETOOTH® connectivity, HDMI with ARC, a DAB+ radio tuner, USB connections, AM/FM radio, and AUX inputs.
MFD network
Easily connect the RA800 radio to a compatible Garmin MFD via NMEA 2000® and get integrated audio control at the helm. Alternatively, use the Fusion® Audio App and control music functions wirelessly with a compatible Garmin smartwatch or other mobile devices.
quick switch from RA770 to RA800
The dimensions and wiring harness of the RA800 are identical to those of the previous RA770 model, making upgrade and installation very easy.
Audio streaming via Wi-Fi
Integrated Wi-Fi connectivity for AirPlay audio streaming, together with MIMO technology (Multiple Input Multiple Output), provides a seamless hi-fi sound experience.
one-piece glass touchscreen
An intuitive, menu-driven user interface and an edge-to-edge glass touchscreen make radio functions easy to operate – simply tap or swipe across the display.
Modern design and appearance
The radio’s black glass front can be flush-mounted to blend seamlessly with other electronics at the helm.
Built for harsh marine conditions
The RA800 is built on Fusion’s True-Marine™ design philosophy. It has a front panel that is water-resistant to IPX6 and IPX7 standards and has been tested to a high level of protection against salt fog, temperature fluctuations, vibration, and UV rays.
Digital Signal Processing (DSP)
Fusion DSP provides a technologically superior listening experience in a simple way. The audio signal transmitted to the Fusion system is optimized to ensure outstanding audio quality at all volume levels and in all listening environments.
User-friendly DSP profiles
With the free Fusion Audio App on your smartphone, you only need to set up the preconfigured DSP profiles once and can then enjoy premium sound optimized for your listening environment.
Grouping
Grouping allows you to link multiple Apollo series radios connected to the same network. This lets you play the same audio source in sync across all entertainment systems.
Volume control
Scroll through the zones available on board and control the volume of each zone independently. Alternatively, you can adjust the overall volume for an entire radio group at the same time.
Power options
The power options allow you to switch on any connected Apollo series radio that is in standby mode and on the Fusion PartyBus network from another Apollo series radio.
Home zone
The home zone is the physical zone where the radio is installed on the boat. After you adjust the volume in another zone, the radio returns to controlling the home zone after a period of inactivity.
wireless software updates
Updates are available via the free Fusion Audio App on your compatible mobile device. Apollo series radios can be kept up to date effortlessly2.
Speed-dependent volume
Selecting Speed vs. Volume in the radio’s settings menu allows playback volume to be adjusted automatically based on the boat’s speed3. Faster = louder. Slower = quieter.
