Fishing Trip Essentials: The Fusion Apollo Marine Sound System

When it comes to spending a day out on the water, whether it be to cast and jig, troll skirts all day for marlin or for a bit of bait fishing, a sound system is a must-have to pass the time in-between bites and keep the morale high.

You want to get marine electronics right the first time so it will last the harsh environments we put our boats through day in and day out.

What Is New With Fusion’s Apollo Marine Sound System?

Founded in New Zealand in 1998, Fusion started as a homegrown car audio brand. Over time, Fusion grew into a world-renowned global champion of engineered and innovative audio solutions. Its strength in product design and innovative thinking allowed Fusion to grow into marine audio. 

Since then, Fusion’s acquisition by Garmin New Zealand took Fusion down a new path. Fusion approaches every market from the perspective of its customers. This has led Fusion to provide world-class innovation to improve any watersport activity.

Specifications and Features

The Apollo offers a number of features that help make it a great addition to your fishing trip. The experience offered is unparalleled.

Ease of Streaming

High-quality audio streaming is available via Wi-Fi and Apple Airplay 2. The method for streaming depends on whether you want to utilize PartyBus-Network or not.

Apple Airplay 2 allows you to seamlessly stream one audio source from a compatible Apple device to multiple Apollo Series marine stereos on the same network. However, Apple Airplay 2 is not supported over PartyBus-Network. 

Wi-Fi streaming delivers a higher data transfer rate in comparison with Bluetooth. This allows for perfectly synced music by wirelessly connecting multiple Apollo stereos via a PartyBus-Network.

The PartyBus-Network offers

  • stereo grouping
  • volume control
  • power options
  • home zone

This allows for easy navigation of your entire boat’s audio network.

Glass Touchscreen Display

Fusion’s Apollo sound system is the first of its kind to offer a glass touchscreen display. This allows you to tap the screen or swipe through your playlist easily. Deteriorating rubber button becomes a worry of the past.

Digital Signal Processing (DSP)

Fusion DSP produces superior sound quality in every environment. The feed-forward limiter anticipates peaks in audio to automatically adjust the gain and avoid distortion.

The sound system uses environmental information and customised speaker profiles to optimize audio for all areas of your boat. This results in an entertainment system perfectly tuned for audio reproduction.
