When it comes to spending a day out on the water, whether it be to cast and jig, troll skirts all day for marlin or for a bit of bait fishing, a sound system is a must-have to pass the time in-between bites and keep the morale high.

You want to get marine electronics right the first time so it will last the harsh environments we put our boats through day in and day out.

What Is New With Fusion’s Apollo Marine Sound System?

Founded in New Zealand in 1998, Fusion started as a homegrown car audio brand. Over time, Fusion grew into a world-renowned global champion of engineered and innovative audio solutions. Its strength in product design and innovative thinking allowed Fusion to grow into marine audio. 

Since then, Fusion’s acquisition by Garmin New Zealand took Fusion down a new path. Fusion approaches every market from the perspective of its customers. This has led Fusion to provide world-class innovation to improve any watersport activity. 

With the August 2021 release of the Apollo marine amplifier line, Fusion has provided many new configuration options:

• monoblock
• 4 channel
• 6 channel
• 8 channel
• zone amplifier

These new amplifiers create a superior onboard entertainment experience with enhanced audio clarity and reduced distortion.

Product Benefits

The Apollo amplifiers are simple to set up and install and are built to last season after season. These devices have undergone extensive testing to ensure they can endure high levels of

• salt
• temperature
• vibration
• UV

With the Apollo, control your music from any smart device, Garmin watch, or other compatible multifunction display. The 4.3″ touchscreen provides play, pause, and skip functions. This device will be substantially easier to use than a traditional radio with buttons.

Specifications and Features

The Apollo offers a number of features that help make it a great addition to your fishing trip. The experience offered is unparalleled.

Ease of Streaming

High-quality audio streaming is available via Wi-Fi and Apple Airplay 2. The method for streaming depends on whether you want to utilize PartyBus-Network or not.

Apple Airplay 2 allows you to seamlessly stream one audio source from a compatible Apple device to multiple Apollo Series marine stereos on the same network. However, Apple Airplay 2 is not supported over PartyBus-Network. 

Wi-Fi streaming delivers a higher data transfer rate in comparison with Bluetooth. This allows for perfectly synced music by wirelessly connecting multiple Apollo stereos via a PartyBus-Network.

The PartyBus-Network offers

• stereo grouping
• volume control
• power options
• home zone

This allows for easy navigation of your entire boat’s audio network.

Glass Touchscreen Display

Fusion’s Apollo sound system is the first of its kind to offer a glass touchscreen display. This allows you to tap the screen or swipe through your playlist easily. Deteriorating rubber button becomes a worry of the past.

Digital Signal Processing (DSP)

Fusion DSP produces superior sound quality in every environment. The feed-forward limiter anticipates peaks in audio to automatically adjust the gain and avoid distortion.

The sound system uses environmental information and customised speaker profiles to optimize audio for all areas of your boat. This results in an entertainment system perfectly tuned for audio reproduction.

Fusion Apollo: Delivering the Best Marine Sound Systems

Fusion offers multiple options for incredible amplifiers, depending on the size of the sound system that you want. Prices range from $179.99 to $949.99. Get your Apollo marine stereo directly through Garmin’s website or through other retailers.

Don’t let your fishing trip be ruined by not having a great portable sound system. Playing music on your boat will greatly help to improve not only your motivation but also your overall fishing!

Every time you jump on one of our boats you can be rest assured that your favourite music is only a connection away. With all our boats fitted with Fusion headsets we can certainly vouch for Fusion’s sound quality and offshore durability.
