IntroductIon
congratulations on the purchase of the GmE Gr9000 series
marine stereo system, arguably the finest marine audio
product available today. Your Gr9000 has been designed
with both the music buff and boat owner in mind. By way
of a host of features never before found in a marine stereo
system, the Gr9000 offers music enthusiasts the same level
of audio quality normally reserved for high end
home systems.
the Gr9000 series has been developed by utilising
a combination of the very latest in digital electronic
technology and the design expertise gained by GmE
engineers over several decades of marine product
development. With all circuitry conformally coated, exposed
metalwork protected against the harsh marine environment
and contained in a uV stabilised water resistant
polycarbonate housing, the Gr9000 will ensure many years
of reliable service.
Ever attentive to customer needs, GmE offers the Gr9000
in two discrete configurations. For the smaller vessel where
exposure to the elements is greater, the fully enclosed
Gr9040 is ideal, for larger cruisers or yachts where
bulkhead installation is the preferred option, the Gr900 is
the perfect solution.
the Gr9000 has all the attributes expected in a superior
stereo system, furthermore, the industry first inclusions of
sD and usB inputs and iPod® compatibility, will ensure the
Gr9000 is destined to become the standard by which all
marine stereo systems are measured.
read this instruction booklet carefully, drop in your
favourite music selection, sit back and enjoy the
sounds that cannot fail to impress even the most
critical audiophile.
product description and model
designators
the Gr9000 series is available in the following formats:
gr9020W
(White) and
gr9020B
(Black)
Designed for flush mounting into bulkheads or dashboards
where the rear case of the product is not exposed to any
water ingress or moisture. the Gr900 has a semi open
rear case to permit heat dissipation generated by operating
the system at high volumes for extended periods of time.
gr9040W
(White) and
gr9040B
(Black)
Designed with a fully enclosed waterproof marine housing
to enable installation on open boats or in areas where
occasional water exposure is possible. the Gr9040 utilises
GmE’s unique ‘Big Gun’ custom heat dissipater to avoid
any overheating or component damage in situations of
prolonged use at high volumes or in areas of high
ambient temperatures.
