Introduction

The JL Audio MM55 is a powerhouse marine digital media receiver designed to elevate your on-water audio experience with unmatched clarity, control, and durability. Built for boats and rugged outdoor environments, the MM55 delivers precise audio control across multiple zones, robust output, and seamless Bluetooth streaming, all wrapped in a compact, weatherproof package. With JL Audio’s legendary marine-grade reliability and clean interface, it’s the perfect foundation for any premium marine sound system.

All-in-One Marine Audio Control

The MM55 simplifies and upgrades your boat’s audio system by combining source control, multi-zone management, and high-fidelity signal output into one sleek unit. It provides access to AM/FM radio, Bluetooth® audio streaming, and auxiliary inputs — all with easy-to-navigate controls on its sunlight-readable display. The intuitive layout and user-friendly interface make operating your marine sound system a breeze, even while underway.

Multi-Zone Mastery

Equipped with three independent audio zones, the MM55 allows you to control different areas of your boat separately. Whether you want party volume at the stern and chill vibes in the cabin, or a completely isolated subwoofer in one zone — the MM55 makes it possible. Each zone includes dedicated subwoofer outputs and customizable tone, volume, and source controls, giving you complete audio command from a single unit.

High-Performance Audio with Clean Output

While compact in size, the MM55 delivers big sound performance. It features preamp outputs for all three zones, making it ideal for pairing with JL Audio marine amplifiers. With high-quality internal components and clean signal routing, it ensures your audio system plays loud and clear without distortion. Whether streaming your favorite playlist or tuning in to a radio station, the sound remains crisp, full, and well-balanced.

Bluetooth® Streaming with Low Latency

With built-in Bluetooth® audio, the MM55 lets you wirelessly stream music from any compatible smartphone or device. The connection is fast, stable, and optimized for excellent sound quality. Passengers can take turns being the DJ without needing auxiliary cables, making every outing more interactive and fun.

Sunlight-Readable Display and Durable Design

The MM55 features a high-brightness color LCD screen, engineered to remain visible in bright daylight — crucial for boats with open cockpits or helm stations. The entire unit is IP67-rated for water and dust resistance, meaning it’s built to survive salt spray, rain, and harsh sun exposure without fading or malfunctioning. It’s not just waterproof — it’s marine-proof.

Compact Size, Big Capability

Don’t be fooled by its sleek size — the MM55 is packed with capability. Its small footprint makes it easy to mount in tight spaces at the helm or cockpit, while still offering deep system control for serious audio setups. Whether you're retrofitting a center console or building a custom install on a yacht, the MM55 fits right in.
