Soundwaves made for the water
Cruise to the soundtrack of the JL Audio A60 advanced marine head unit — a high-quality sound system with a sleek, aesthetic design built to complement your helm.
The JL Audio A60 pairs genuinely high-end sound engineering with a design that looks as good at the helm as it sounds on the water. Built-in DSP, four independent audio zones, and seamless NMEA 2000 integration make it the centerpiece of a marine audio system that's as capable as it is good-looking.
DSP technology
Built-in Digital Signal Processing optimizes the audio signal sent to your system and manages the power delivered to your speakers and subwoofers — for a cleaner, more balanced listening experience and speakers that stay protected instead of overdriven.
High-resolution color display
Enjoy a clear view of your audio information on the 2.95-inch color screen. It's fog-resistant and daylight-readable, so it stays visible no matter the weather conditions.
Built-in DAB tuner
The A60 natively supports Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) technology, providing a clear and reliable alternative to traditional AM/FM radio in regions where DAB is available.
Over-the-air software updates
Wireless software updates via Bluetooth LE are available from compatible smart devices using the free Garmin Audio™ app — so the A60 keeps improving long after it's installed.
Wireless audio control
Easily control your audio from anywhere on your boat using a compatible Garmin smartwatch or the Garmin Audio smartphone app.
NMEA 2000® compatibility
This marine head unit connects to an NMEA 2000 network, enabling premium audio control via Garmin MFDs and the JL Audio NRX-300 wired remote (sold separately).
Bluetooth Low Energy streaming
Enjoy advanced audio streaming from smart devices through Bluetooth® 6.1 LE technology, with support for the LC3 codec — a noticeably more efficient, higher-quality wireless connection.
Multi-Zone™ technology
Control your audio in up to four separate zones. The A60 supports 4 speaker and 4 subwoofer pre-amp outputs for connection to compatible amplifiers — so the helm, cabin, and cockpit can each have their own vibe.
Marinized design
Rated IPX6 and IPX7 for water ingress protection, and tested against salt fog, temperature extremes, vibration, and UV exposure — built to live at the helm, not just visit it.
