JVC KD-X38MBS Marine Media Receiver with Bluetooth
Versatile Application
Receivers and amplifiers for marine and motor sports applications need to perform in harsh environments exposed to outdoor elements. JVC’s marine and motor sports receivers and amplifiers feature compact size for versatile installation even in tight spaces. Conformal coated main PCBs (printed circuit boards) offer additional protection against moisture and condensation from damaging the product.
Highlights
4.0V High-Voltage 3 Pre-Outs
Equipped with three RCA terminals for pre-outs with 4.0V high voltage. Increasing the output voltage from the pre-outs helps reduce transmission noise and distortion when connected with an external amplifier.
Conformal Coating
A conformal coating is a protective chemical coating to safeguard electronic circuits from harsh environments that may contain moisture or chemical contaminants. It provides a barrier to airborne contaminants from the operating environment, such as salt-spray, thus preventing corrosion.
