Detailed description

The JL Audio A60 marine stereo is a complete audio solution designed for marine environments, featuring a high-resolution color display and advanced sound management capabilities. The system delivers high-quality audio with extended connectivity options.

Display and User Interface

The JL Audio A60 is equipped with a 2.95-inch LCD color display with a resolution of 640 x 360 pixels. The screen is optically treated to resist fogging and ensure optimal readability even in bright daylight. The intuitive user interface uses a rotary dial and dedicated buttons for menu navigation, text input, and audio function control.

Audio Performance and Connectivity

With its integrated Class D amplifier, the JL Audio A60 marine stereo delivers 17 W RMS x 4 at 1 kHz and 1% THD+N, under 4 ohms, and a maximum dynamic power of 22 W x 4 at 1 kHz and 10% THD+N, under 4 ohms (CTA-2006). It features Multi-Zone™ technology, enabling independent audio control across four distinct areas of the vessel. Connectivity includes Bluetooth® 6.1 LE Audio Streaming with LC3 codec support for improved audio clarity. The system is compatible with the NMEA 2000® network for integration with compatible chartplotters, including Garmin MFDs. Supported audio sources include AM/FM radio, DAB+ tuner (region-dependent), USB devices, Apple devices, and auxiliary inputs. An integrated digital signal processor (DSP) optimizes the audio signal and protects speakers and subwoofers, with customizable DSP profiles via the free Garmin Audio app.

Marine Design and Reliability

Designed for demanding marine environments, the JL Audio A60 offers IPX6 and IPX7 protection when installed according to Garmin’s instructions. It has been rigorously tested for resistance to salt fog, temperature variations, vibrations, and UV exposure. The system operates on a 10.8 to 16 VDC power supply with a maximum current draw of 15 A. The manufacturer’s datasheet lists dimensions of 157 mm (W) x 68 mm (H) x 119 mm (D). For installation, the manual specifies a rear body depth of 87 mm and a rear depth with connectors of 102 mm, excluding cables; these measurements should not be confused with the datasheet depth. The weight is 470 g. The operating temperature range is 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F).

Integration and Advanced Features

The A60 stereo offers wireless control options via compatible Garmin smartwatches or the Garmin Audio smartphone app. Software updates can be performed via Bluetooth LE, USB, or a Garmin chartplotter connected to the NMEA 2000 network. Integration with Garmin multifunction displays (MFDs) enables centralized audio control. The stereo is also compatible with the JL Audio NRX-300 wired remote control (sold separately). An automatic volume adjustment function based on speed is available to compensate for ambient noise. The system includes 4 pre-amplified speaker outputs and 4 pre-amplified subwoofer outputs, facilitating connection to external amplifiers. The Easy Tune feature, accessible via the Garmin Audio app, allows for customized audio settings tailored to the marine environment. A compact version without a display, the JL Audio A60-H, is also available for installations where display is handled by a Garmin MFD.

Expert opinion

« The JL Audio A60 stereo: a dedicated audio control center for your console »

The JL Audio A60 stereo is a strategic choice for boaters seeking a complete audio system with a dedicated user interface on the helm. Unlike the A60-H 'hideaway' version, which integrates discreetly, this unit with a color screen provides direct, visual access to all audio functions, a major advantage for quick sound management without relying on an MFD or remote control.

For installation, it is critical to strictly follow the provided template for dashboard cutting to ensure precise fit and optimal watertightness. Positioning must be planned to guarantee sufficient rear ventilation and avoid interference with the magnetic compass (minimum 45 cm). Integration into the NMEA 2000® network is an asset for control via Garmin MFDs, offering a consistent user experience. The presence of 4 pre-amplified speaker outputs and 4 subwoofer outputs is essential for scalable audio systems, allowing external amplifiers to be added for increased power and sound quality, particularly for zones 3 and 4, which only have line-level outputs. Attention to details such as using a 15 A fuse on the power wire and connecting to an ignition switch is fundamental for safety and battery preservation.

It should be noted that while simultaneous use of the internal amplifier's speakers and line outputs for zones 1 and 2 is possible, it can result in uneven volume levels. For homogeneous and precise audio management across all zones, adding external amplifiers is recommended.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

Which tools are required to install the JL Audio A60 marine stereo?

For the installation of the JL Audio A60 marine stereo, you will need the following tools:

A Phillips screwdriver

An electric drill

A drill bit (size varies depending on the surface material and screws used)

A rotary cutting tool or jigsaw

A 15 A inline fuse for the power cable

Marine-grade silicone sealant (optional)

What are the important considerations for installing the A60 marine stereo?

When installing the A60 marine stereo, consider the following points:

The stereo must be mounted on a flat surface allowing unobstructed airflow to the rear for heat dissipation.

If installed in a water-exposed area, mount it at less than 45 degrees from the horizontal plane and add a drip loop to the cable to prevent water damage.

If mounted outside the boat, ensure it is well above the waterline, not submerged, and protected from impacts.

To avoid interference with a magnetic compass, the stereo must be installed at least 45 cm (17.7 in) away from it.

Can I use the JL Audio A60 stereo itself as a drilling template?

No, it is essential not to use the JL Audio A60 stereo as a template for drilling the mounting holes. This could damage the display and void the warranty. You must use only the template included with the product to drill the mounting holes correctly.

How should I manage waterproofing when installing the A60 stereo in a humid environment?

If you install the JL Audio A60 stereo in an area exposed to water, you must apply marine-grade silicone sealant around the mounting surface around the cutout. It is important not to install the included mounting gasket if you are using sealant, as using both could reduce water resistance.

How to connect the A60 stereo to the boat's power supply?

To connect the A60 stereo to the power supply:

Install a 15 A fuse (not included) on the red power wire.

Connect the red power wire to the ignition or another manual switch to prevent battery drain when the stereo is not in use.
