MXDMA8030 Receiver

Your CDs and More

The MXDMA8030 can play CD, CD-R, and CD-RW discs, either with standard audio or loaded with hours of your favorite MP3 or WMA files. ID tags for both MP3 and WMA files are supported, for convenient display of song and artist information on the unit's white/black dot matrix display.

This makes for an easy connection for your iPod or other MP3 player. You can also go with using the MWR30 remote control as your auxiliary input interface, see below.

Control the action with the included MWR30 remote, which can also features a 3.5mm auxiliary input.

AM/FM and Weatherband Radio

Of course, sometimes you want some live programming, at the very least to check on the traffic or local news. The MXDMA8030's tuner has spacing for both US and European frequencies, and can store 30 favorite stations, with an automatic station storing feature. Convenient pre-set scanning and one touch station memory lets the captain concentrate on the sea waves, rather than the airwaves.

And speaking of waves, you'll know if any big ones are en route thanks to seven-channel weatherband radio. Stay abreast of developing weather before it gets you into trouble.

Solid Audio

The MXDMA8030 delivers four clean channels of 50 watts peak power, with a set of 2V preamp outputs.

If not using the remote, use Dual's iplug to connect your MP3 players to the rear RCA auxiliary input.

Marine Ready

The MXDMA8030 features a rust-resistant chassis and conformal coated circuit boards, along with a UV-resistant face and trim ring, for use out on the open water.

MWR30 Remote Control

Control the action with the included MWR30 remote, with UV resistant housing and controls and a black/white liquid crystal display. A six-meter cable is incldued to run to the head unit.

Another added bonus is that the MWR30 can also act as your auxiliary input. Connect it to the RCA aux in--rather than the iplug interface mentioned above--and you can enjoy the convenience of your remote and aux input in one spot.
