Fusion Apollo RA770

Described as the best marine stereo available at any price, Fusion’s new Apollo RA770 uses a one-piece glass touchscreen display that operates with familiar smartphone tap, swipe and pinch gestures. Digital signal processing technology delivers exceptional sound quality, while built-in Wi-Fi streaming lets the stereo play audio directly from any portable device with substantially better sound quality than stereos that stream using Bluetooth, which tends to clip the highs and lows due to its lower dynamic range. A unique PartyBus feature lets multiple units sync over Wi-Fi to play the same music over multiple boats rafted together. Most functions can be controlled remotely via the FusionLink app for unbeatable convenience.
