What customers say
The Fusion MS-RA70 Stereo earns high praise as a top entry-to-mid-level marine audio choice, primarily due to its exceptional build quality and reliability. Users consistently confirm its robust, water-resistant design handles harsh marine conditions well. The sound output is frequently noted as clear and powerful, perfectly suited for cockpit areas. A key highlight is the dual-zone control, allowing independent volume management for enhanced onboard enjoyment.

Know before you buy
The MS-RA70 is designed as a standard single-DIN replacement. It requires a cutout dimension of 6-3/8" x 2" x 3-15/16", so be sure to measure your current dashboard opening to ensure a proper fit.
Yes, this unit features dual-zone audio control. This allows you to adjust the volume levels for two separate areas of your boat independently from the main interface.
The display features an optically bonded LCD, which is specifically engineered to reduce glare and prevent fogging. This ensures the screen remains clear and readable even when exposed to bright, direct sunlight.
The front panel is rated IPX7, meaning it is water-resistant and can withstand splashes, rain, and accidental submersion. However, the rear chassis is not waterproof, so it should be installed in a protected area away from direct water spray.
No, the MS-RA70 does not include a physical remote control. You can manage your music and settings directly through the unit's interface or via your connected Bluetooth device.
Absolutely. The stereo supports wireless Bluetooth streaming with a range of up to 30 feet, allowing you to control your music library or streaming apps directly from your smartphone.
