Active speaker for Ray 90/91 wireless

An active speaker, such as the Raymarine A80543, has built-in amplification. This means it does not require an external amplifier to operate, unlike a passive speaker which needs external amplification to produce sound. Integrating the amplifier reduces the load on the main VHF unit and ensures sufficient audio volume.

This active speaker provides several key advantages:

It extends the audio capabilities of your VHF system, enabling amplified and remote sound output. It ensures clear and distinct listening to VHF communications, even in noisy marine environments. It integrates its own amplification, reducing the load on the main VHF unit. It allows audio to be routed to areas away from the main helm (flybridge, cockpit, cabins) without requiring an additional external amplifier, simplifying integration and minimizing clutter. It provides constant monitoring of VHF channels.

The dimensions of the Raymarine active speaker A80543 are as follows:

Width: 104.3 mmHeight: 118.5 mmDepth: 30.6 mm
