Upgrade your boating experience with the SonicHub®2 Marine Audio Server, the ultimate black box solution designed for seamless audio and video integration on the water. This next-generation server puts total control at your fingertips through compatible multifunction displays (MFDs), letting you stream, play, and manage entertainment without cluttering your helm with extra head units.
Seamless Integration with Your Marine Electronics
The SonicHub®2 transforms your Lowrance, Simrad, or B&G chartplotter into a full-featured audio command center. Whether you’re cruising coastal waters or anchoring in a secluded bay, effortlessly switch sources, adjust zones, and crank up the volume right from your HDS Gen3, HDS Gen2 Touch, NSS evo2, NSO evo2, GO7, Zeus2, Zeus2 Glass Helm, or Vulcan 7 display. Its NMEA 2000® Audio/Entertainment protocol ensures plug-and-play compatibility, making it a smart upgrade for modern vessels.
Powerful Audio Performance Across Multiple Zones
Built for serious boaters, the SonicHub®2 delivers robust 50W x 4 amplification split across Zone 1 (front) and Zone 2 (rear), so everyone on board enjoys crystal-clear sound. Add depth with the pre-amp subwoofer output tied to Zone 1 for effortless bass control, plus a dedicated pre-amp Zone 3 output for expanded setups. Dual stereo aux inputs handle everything from CD players to SiriusXM via the optional WM-3 module, while video output through Composite RCA brings playback to your screens.
Wireless Streaming and Versatile Connectivity
Leave the dongles behind—integrated Bluetooth® connects instantly to your smartphone or tablet for wireless streaming, including Pandora® internet radio where available. Dual USB ports support MP3 playback, iPod integration, and device charging, keeping your music library and gadgets powered up. Compatible with both Android and iOS, it fits any crew’s preferences, turning long passages into personalized concerts.
Easy Drop-In Installation for Quick Upgrades
As a true drop-in replacement for the original SonicHub, it shares the exact footprint, wiring harness, and intuitive user interface on your MFD. No major rewiring needed—just connect via the included NMEA 2000® T-connector and 6-foot backbone/drop cable, hook up power, and you’re ready to rock. This compact server mounts discreetly, preserving your clean helm design while unlocking advanced audio features.
