About: JBL R3500 Wake Series Marine Digital Media Receiver

JBL performance for your boat

This JBL marine digital media receiver packs a lot of cool features into a compact, weather-resistant design that stands up to sun, spray, and rough weather. You can check out AM/FM/WB radio, of course, or you can use the USB and auxiliary inputs to access the tunes stored on a thumb drive or portable music player. This WAKE Series receiver also sports the latest Bluetooth® 5.0 technology, so you can listen to music streamed from your smartphone or other device.

The R3500 also includes a pair of rear-mounted preamp outputs, so you can expand your system with a marine amp in the future. The black-and-white LED display is easy to read in all lighting conditions, while the IPX7-rated face and controls will stand up to the elements for seasons to come.

Made for marine use

JBL tests all their marine audio gear to make sure it's tough enough to survive life in the marine environment. This rugged stereo will stand up to storms, spray, sun, and even the occasional spilled beverage, so you can relax, have fun, and crank some tunes.
