Marine Audio & BOAT RADIOS

"What Makes Blue Sea Systems Different?

Blue Sea Systems engineers and manufactures electrical products for harsh environments in the marine, industrial, and heavy truck industries. Their engineered products are created by an in-house team of engineers who have experience in mechanical, electrical, industrial, electronic, and software design. Extensive testing is performed on all products. Blue Sea Systems' in-house lab is used to load test, thermal test, and water test products to ensure they will perform under marine conditions. Blue Sea System delivers innovative, reliable products for the marine industry.

Blue Marine Systems also manufactures supporting components including fuses, circuit breakers, and analog meters. They perform tests and have extensive specification and regulatory guidelines to assure that supporting components must comply with to assure these products should be incorporated into Blue Sea Systems products.

Innovation

Blue Sea Systems uses tin-plated CDA 11000 electrical-grade copper rather than the lower cost brass alloys used by some manufacturers. Electrical copper can handle higher amperages at lower temperatures and are 250% more conductive than brass. Blue Seal Systems tin-plating adds additional performance by protecting the copper from corrosion that causes poor conductivity at connection points. The Blue Sea Systems tin-plated copper icon assures that the product is made of pure electrical grade copper.

Blue Sea Systems 360 360 Panel System A versatile panel with a unique approach that offers significant advantages over traditional flat aluminum panels such as, flexibility, increased broadcast range of functionality, and advanced design features. This panel is both visually appealing and exhibits the functional demands of the most discerning boaters.

DC Main Battery switches conduct current from battery banks to DC Main circuit protection, isolating potentially destructive energy when the boat is not in use or in emergency situations. Blue Sea Systems solenoid and remote battery switched allow the user to have remote electrical control over the battery banks rather than rely on proximal mechanical operation. Blue Marine Systems DC Main circuit protection devices have high ampere interrupt capacity (AIC), automatic charging relays (ACR) and distribute charging source energy to the battery banks.

Blue Sea Systems DC Battery Switches The purpose of a battery switch is to isolate potentially destructive energy in the battery banks when the boat is not oin use or during an emergency. The UL standard for marine battery switches in UL 1107. Blue Sea Systems has created a test that measures a high amperage load imposed on a battery switch in the starting circuit under very difficult starting conditions. Blue Sea Systems batteries surpass the UL standard because in addition to being tested UL 1107, they are also tested to the higher cranking amperage.

Automatic Charging Relays Charge Management Devices (CMDs) connects two battery banks when charging, while keeping the battery banks isolated from each other. An automatic charging relay is used when there are multiple battery bank systems. If one battery in depleted then there will be a charged battery bank available for engine starting. Battery Isolaters and Charging Relays are the two main charge managemnet devices used on a boat.

Battery Isolators are electrical one-way check valves taht allow current flow to the battery. Their disadvantage is that a voltage drop occurs when using diodes, which consume charging energy, create heat and cause batteries to be undercharged.

Automatic Charging Relays are the most popular method of achieving the same results as Battery Isolators by using a relay combined with a circuit that senses when a charging source is being applied to either battery.

Blue Sea Systems fuse Fuse Block and Fuses What is the difference between an ANL and a Class T Fuse? ANL Fuse Advantage: Lower cost than Class T Fuses Available in wider amperage range than Class T Fuses Single mounting hole dimension allows all ANL Fuses to be used with the same fuse block Fusible link window give visual indication of fuse being blown Ignition protected makes it safe for installation aboard gasoline powered boats. Class T Fuse Advantages: The only UL 248-15 listed fuse commonly available in the marine industry Very fast response to short circuits protects high amperage electronic equipment such as inverters

DC Branch The DC Branch circuit distributes from a single-cable high amperage DC Main circuit to multiple circuits carrying lower amperage s through smaller wires. Blue System DC Branch circuits typically carry currents below 50 Amperes to the load devices.

AC Main The AC Main power system creates a path from the ship's source of AC power to the AC branch distribution system. It begins at the AC power source, such as shore power, genset or an inverter power source and ends at the AC Branch circuit. An AC power source always has an AC AC Main circuit breaker near the power source.

Metering and Accessories Meters are used to monitor a boat's DC and AC electrical systems. Meters help the boater avoid overloads or shore cords, determine the proper time to charge battery banks, and know when alternators and chargers are not functioning properly. Analog meters are highly readable, DIN meters follow European style, and Blue Sea Systems digital mutimeters combine various meter functions into one convenient and splash-proof package.

BusBars, Connectors, and Insulators BusBars and PowerPosts provide a safe and convenient way to insulate circuit wires and connect them together. Feed Through Connectors and CableClams enable the boater to safely pass wires through a bulkhead or deck. Insulated continuously-energized non-grounded conductors protect against accidental short circuits and shock hazards. BusBars Terminal Blocks Connectors PowerPosts CableClams CableCaps

"FEATURES

The XM series tower speakers are designed with one goal in mind - Maximum sound delivery at an unmatched range. The sound quality, form factor, power handling, fit and finish are un-matched by anything available on the market today. The XM9 includes a patented "quick release / rotational" clamping system that can direct sound a full 360 degrees to put sound on virtually any target. The XM9 has been precision engineered down to the smallest detail. What started as an idea became a vision and eventually turned into an engineering collaboration spanning several different industries. It was the efforts of many that allowed the Exile team to, “Dream it, Design it, and Build it from the ground up”.

Hi-Definition Sound Exile engineers examined the physics behind professional sound reinforcement acoustics, boat tower mechanical considerations, and the open air musical distortion characteristics of the marine environment. The XM tower speaker system is built with incredible precision for the marine environment and is capable of projecting full force Hi-Definition sound at 80 feet and still offer clear, warm, and full sound for your passengers sitting onboard. The bottom line: Your ears don’t lie. Listen to the XM series speaker and experience crystal clear sound.

Quick Release Mounts - Innovation by Design Designed with the everyone’s needs in mind, this clamp is ultra versatile and stylish. It's an installers ideal piece with connection completing with just a snap! This means no flying speaker wires hanging out the back of your speakers anywhere! Simply mount, connect, and snap on for the loudest quality on the water.

Boat crew, we haven’t forgotten about you either. Once the speakers are mounted and you’re out on the water you can rotate the speaker a full 360 degrees. Want to point them toward sunbathers up on the bow or fire them off the port side toward your picnic on the beach? Simple! And when you’ve finished for the day and the boat rests peacefully on her trailer, you can remove the XM9’s and safely stow them in their wetsuit socks. No scratches and most importantly… No theft!

Compact Enclosure Big speakers on a boat don’t necessarily offer big sounds. The XM9 inch enclosure is an efficient blend big enough to offer full force high definition sound and still small enough to maintain headroom clearance on most boats. This one piece custom tooled light weight enclosure is teardrop shaped to benefit from low wind drag. It’s compact small size also stays clear from factory fold over bimini shades. And if you own one of the popular cast tower boats, the XM9 can directly mount to the tower (clampless-direct fit) gaining an extra two inches of headroom.
