Kenwood KAC-M1824BT - Power your music on land or sea

Kenwood's KAC-M1824BT 4-channel amplifier will pump up your car's audio system with 45 watts RMS per channel — that's more than twice the power of most car stereos. The super-compact KAC-M1824BT will add new clarity and impact to the basic sound system of almost any kind of vehicle on land or water, and it'll fit in a lot of places when space is tight. The amp uses plastic plugs that protect its power and speaker connections, and features a conformal coated circuit board that keeps out moisture and salt, so the party won't stop just because of a little wetness.

IPX5 REMOTE CONTROL

The KAC-M1824BT remote control is designed to be mounted in places that are exposed to the elements. To operate in these conditions the remote control has a IPX-5 certification. This water resistant certification is the grade at which a device continues to function when directly subjected to 12.5 L of water per minute from all directions using a 6.3 mm inside diameter nozzle at a distance of approximately 3m for at least 3 minutes. This level of water resistance makes it perfect for ATV, Motorcycles and boats.

MULTI-APPLICATION

Many of today's powersports have very limited space to work in and tend to be a harsh environment for electronics because of the exposure to outdoor environments. KENWOOD's compact performance amplifiers are small in size so they fit even the most limited installation areas. The amplifiers also use a conformal coated main PCB (printed circuit boards) which offer extra layers of protection to help prevent moisture or damp air from damaging the product.

BUILT-IN BLUETOOTH

With today's smartphones hosting a wide variety of listening choices such as stored music, internet radio, podcasts, etc., it is no wonder that customers want to use this as their primary listening source. Bluetooth offers the easiest and most popular connection, KAC-M1824BT is not only your standalone Bluetooth gateway but if used with an in-dash receiver, it will double the power of a typical CD receiver with it's built-in 45Watts x 4 of amplification. A water resistant controller can be used to adjust volume and change tracks.
