The Sussex Newspaper - Great news for a great county!

Mariners who have seen the 700 System are resoundingly congratulating FUSION for what many describe as a quantum leap ahead in worlds-first innovation.

FUSION's CEO Chris Baird told TSN: "With the 700 Series, FUSION is resoundingly established as the world leader in Marine Entertainment Systems. These exciting marine-only systems are designed in New Zealand from the ground up especially for marine use worldwide."

The FUSION Entertainment System offers stand-alone features for trailer boats and expandability in big boats, like iPad wireless control.

The compnay said boat builders and owners will especially appreciate wiring is considerably reduced, as FUSION Head Units and Remotes connect to, plus communicate through the NMEA 2000 Bus or Ethernet already in many boats.

FUSION-Link software enables a compatible Multifunction Display (MFD) to become the Entertainment Control Centre. Skippers use the MFD large screen to control one or more 700 Series audiovisual Systems with four speaker Zones each. Now FUSION’s head unit can be installed elsewhere, if the helm has little space.

For the widest range of music and video sources, select the MS-AV700 with optional Dock. Entertainment and news sources are, AM/FM/VHF/iPod, iPhone, USB, CD, DVD, Video, plus MP3 players (Aux in). Both 700 Series models receive Marine VHF channels, with scan or user presets and squelch.

Options abound, including remote controls, Zone amplifiers and subwoofers.
