Detailed description

Designed for discreet integration, the JL Audio MediaMaster® 105 Hidden Source Unit (MM105-HR) is a complete marine stereo source offering high-quality audio performance for nautical environments. This unit is a hidden receiver with no LCD screen or physical controls, specifically designed to be controlled remotely.

Audio Outputs and Zones

The MediaMaster® 105 Hidden Source Unit features 12 pre-amplified 4V RMS output channels, ensuring high-quality audio for systems requiring external amplifiers. It includes four distinct, fully configurable and nameable audio zones for customized sound management. Each zone has a subwoofer output with a switchable low-pass filter (off/60/80/100 Hz). The unit has no built-in amplifier and requires external marine amplifiers.

Connectivity and Tuners

This stereo source offers extensive connectivity with two USB inputs for storage devices, including direct control of iPod/iPhone, and two auxiliary RCA inputs. Bluetooth® audio streaming with Qualcomm® aptX™ ensures enhanced audio fidelity, allowing pairing of up to 8 devices, with only one streaming at a time. The JL Audio MM105-HR includes a global AM/FM radio tuner with RDS and 24 presets. Digital HD Radio™ (North America) and DAB+ Radio (Europe) tuners are available, and the unit is SiriusXM-Ready™ (requires a tuner, antenna, and subscription sold separately).

Marine Design and Control

With an IP67 marine rating, the MediaMaster® 105 Hidden Source Unit features a robust, weather-resistant design. Its dimensions are 196 mm (width) x 59 mm (height) x 126 mm (depth D1), with a minimum depth of 170 mm (D2) including cable bundle curvature. NMEA 2000® connectivity enables control via compatible multifunction displays (MFD) from brands such as Garmin, Lowrance, Raymarine, or Simrad. Control is also possible via the NMEA 2000® network controller MMR-40 (sold separately), as well as other wired and wireless remote controls. The unit is compatible with the MediaMaster app for control from iOS and Android devices. It features a "Zero-Clipping" audio circuit design and per-zone volume limiting.

Expert opinion

« JL Audio MediaMaster 105-HR: Invisible and high-performance marine audio integration »

The JL Audio MediaMaster® 105 Hidden Source Unit (MM105-HR) is positioned as the ideal solution for marine audio installations requiring discretion and flexibility. Designed for boat owners seeking a clean aesthetic without compromising sound quality, this "hidden" unit serves as the starting point for a high-end audio system.

Its main strength lies in its 12 pre-amplified output channels at 4V RMS and its four independent audio zones. This provides a solid foundation for complex installations, allowing control of external amplifiers dedicated to different areas of the boat (cockpit, cabin, foredeck) with precise volume and tone adjustments, including dedicated outputs for subwoofers. The absence of an internal amplifier is not a flaw but a design choice that ensures greater signal purity and modularity to match the desired power output.

NMEA 2000® integration is a major advantage, simplifying control of the entire audio system directly from a compatible multifunction display, whether Garmin, Raymarine, Lowrance, or Simrad. This eliminates the need for a dedicated display for the source unit, optimizing dashboard space. However, installation requires careful planning for wiring external amplifiers and remote controls (wired or wireless) needed to interact with the unit. While its IP67 rating makes it splash-resistant, it is recommended to install it in a protected compartment to ensure longevity in the marine environment.
