Sony DSX-M55BT

A seaworthy Sony

Sony's DSX-M55BT digital media receiver is made for marine use, so you can enjoy all your favorite tunes when you're out on your boat. Built-in Bluetooth® and a handy front USB input give you plenty of ways to play your digital music, while the coated circuit board, UV-resistant front panel, and anti-glare display ensure reliable performance for seasons to come.

Bluetooth® convenience and more

The integrated Bluetooth offers Simple Secure Pairing, so you'll be streaming music and taking calls on the built-in microphone in no time. You can also plug your iPod®, iPhone®, Android™ smartphone, or other device into the front USB port and play MP3 or WMA files while charging the device. The display shows song title and artist info, then gives you caller ID when you get a call.

SiriusXM satellite radio

You can also add a SiriusXM satellite radio tuner (not included, requires subscription). Satellite radio offers an unparalleled variety of music, news, sports, and talk, and your favorite channels will stay with you, even when you're miles offshore. No wonder it's a feature more and more boaters are looking for.

Get the sound you want

The DSX-M55BT features a built-in Dynamic Reality Amp that's designed to produce plenty of power without noise or distortion. You can also customize the sound to suit your musical tastes using the built-in 5-band equalizer. If you like bass-heavy music, Sony's Mega Bass really brings the beat. And the 2-volt rear-channel and subwoofer RCA preouts will come in handy when you expand your system in the future.
