Optional Remote Speaker Compatibility

For added convenience, the Ray53 supports the connection of an optional remote speaker (A80542). This feature enables you to hear audio from the radio at a second location on your vessel, providing greater flexibility and accessibility during operations.

Stylish and Practical Design
