FUSION-Link Wired (NMEA 2000)

FUSION-Link has the ability to fully control on-board FUSION Entertainment systems 

(Supported models), by utilizing FUSION-Link capable multi-function displays installed 

at the helm, flybridge or nav station of the vessel, providing integrated entertainment 

control and a less cluttered console.
You can control one or more FUSION-Link capable stereo units from a single location 

on the boat with the touch of a button. FUSION-Link operates over existing industry 

standard networks including NMEA2000 .
Link Zones or manage the entire audio system from the steering station  

on the boat. The partnered multi-purpose display becomes the portal to  

which all audio on the vessel is controlled, no matter where on the vessel  

the stereo is installed. The FUSION-Link equipped stereo can be installed out of sight if 

space is an issue and users need to visit the unit only to replace removable media.
For a list of FUSION-Link capable products from companies that are partnering with 

FUSION, please visit www.FUSIONENTERTAINMENT.com for further details.

TOTAL AUDIO CONTROL VIA NMEA 2000 

NMEA 2000 is the most popular marine standard for data communication within 

vessels. It has become the standard for sending navigation and engine management 

data within vessels. FUSION introduces an industry-first product by incorporating 

NMEA 2000 functionality in its audio remote control devices. This will enable the user 

to monitor a series of available NMEA sentences. Visit www.FUSIONENTERTAINMENT.

com for a full list of supported NMEA sentences 

FUSION NRX  SERIES REMOTE CONTROL 

(SOLD SEPARATELY)

The MS-RA205 Marine Stereo can be controlled by an NRX Series wired remote 

control installed in the audio Zones throughout the vessel. The remote Control has a 

full-featured user interface. To the user, operating the entertainment system from the 

remote control is very similar to operating it from the main unit. It includes a full size 

LCD screen and provides full functionality for navigating iPods and iPhones. 
FUSION’s NRX Series wired remote controls are capable of operating over an existing 

NMEA 2000 network, removing the need to wire back to the stereo unit. Smaller or 

older vessels without NMEA 2000 can still have FUSION NRX Series wired remotes 

installed by utilising our standard FUSION remote control network.
The remote control will also serve as an NMEA repeater displaying NMEA navigation 

data or vessel performance data from other NMEA devices on an existing NMEA 2000 

network.
