Love it. Bluetooth connection is fast after programming.

This is my 3rd RA-70 (3rd boat). Excellent units. Once programmed, they connect to my S9 phone almost instantly. I also like that a power cord for the device can be plugged into a switch on the boat. Even if you turn it off completely (turning off the switch kills 100% of the power supply if you connect it that way), the next time you turn it on it will retain all settings. And it turns on immediately. FYI, I use the toggle method because I have a bad habit of forgetting to turn things off. Soโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • I don't remember

Great technology and phone integration. Amplifier could be happier

It was very easy to install and set up on my boat. A very simple set of controls. I only had a small problem with the Bluetooth "Discoverable" mode setting because I didn't first select "BT" as the source before pressing the menu key. I installed FusionLink on a Samsung Galaxy s5 and all the options (source, volume, tone etc.) are available in the software and it even worked great when streaming music. The only downside is that the power of the amp seems pretty limited. I drive a pair of Polkโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Hard to say

(old discontinued 4 Ohm devices) Sounds great. Significantly better than the old Sony head unit.

Works very well but make sure you have all the necessary parts when connecting the remote control. I connected mine to a Fusion MRX300 remote. Although the remote control is connected to the RA70N main unit, it is not receiving any power from it. If you don't have an NMEA network, you will need to create your own NMEA network to power the remote control. You will need a 2m Fusion NMEA 2000 power cable, part number CAB-000541. Gray and black for ground, red for 12V+. The network end connects toโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled

Fantastic machine but no stock Apple volume control and doesn't cover noise

MS-RA70N Bought from JB Tools via Prime for $289 +tax and received a normal MS-RA70 3 days later. I sent this back because NMEA2000 is a must for me. Bought the same unit from ShipSound for $269 (tax free, not prime, showed 10 days delivery time) and got the MS-RA70NX in just 2 days! The device works great. I really hope Fusion fixes the blank screen issue. My previous two MS-IP600's each had 3-4 years before the screens went black. I'll probably never use the addon on Sirius/XM, so I don'tโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Best in niche
Cons
  • I will add later

GOOD BUT MAY NEED SOME UPDATES

I have just purchased this to replace a Pioneer CD receiver that was installed on a 25ft marine boat with JBL 6x9 marine speakers which I really like can recommend. It was installed under my center console. The only reason I replaced it was because I had to go to the center console to manually change the volume, channels, etc. I would give this KA70N 5 stars but it has these issues. Note. I just installed this device yesterday and haven't tried Spotify or Pandora yet. Pros: The KA70N appears to

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Long delivery time
