Fusion MS-RA800 Apollo Marine Stereo with Wi-Fi, AirPlay 2, Bluetooth & DSP

Overview

The Fusion Apollo MS-RA800 is the most advanced marine stereo Fusion has built. Audiophile-grade components and an upgraded Class-D amplifier give it far more output than the RA770 it replaces, and it is the first Fusion stereo able to play high-resolution lossless audio. Built-in Wi-Fi handles Apple AirPlay 2 streaming, with Bluetooth 5.3, HDMI ARC, USB-C, AM/FM, DAB+ and two AUX inputs also on board.

Control is through a one-piece, edge-to-edge glass touchscreen. The 4.3" optically bonded display (800 x 480) has better resolution, colour, viewing angles and daylight readability than earlier Apollo stereos, and the black glass face can be flush mounted to sit neatly beside other helm electronics. Because the RA800 shares the RA770 form factor, swapping out an existing RA770 is simple.

Network the RA800 with other Apollo Series stereos for stereo grouping, combined volume control, remote power-on and Home Zone control, or connect it to a compatible Garmin chartplotter over NMEA 2000 or Garmin BlueNet for control from the helm. Fusion DSP profiles, set up once in the free Garmin Audio app, tune the sound to your boat, and software updates are delivered over the air.
