1x Alpine UTE-M701 Waterproof Marine Bluetooth® Receiver (UTE-M701)
UTE-M701 Waterproof Marine Bluetooth® Receiver
The Alpine UTE-M701 is built as the command center of a marine audio system, combining source control, built-in amplification, dual-zone functionality, and marine-rated durability in a single chassis. Designed for life on the water, it offers Bluetooth® connectivity, AM/FM radio, multiple wired input options, and system-tuning features suited for boats that need both reliable playback and flexible zone control.
Overview
Marine System Control with Built-In Amplification
The UTE-M701 is positioned as more than a source unit, serving as a central control point for a marine audio system. Its built-in 6-channel amplifier delivers 17 watts RMS per channel, allowing it to power multiple speaker zones while also supporting expanded system layouts through dedicated preamp outputs.
Dual-zone control is built in, allowing separate audio management for different areas of the boat, such as the helm and cockpit. This gives the system added flexibility for different listening preferences across the vessel.
- Built-in 6-channel amplifier rated at 17W RMS x 6.
- Dual-zone audio control for separate listening areas.
- Designed as a central command unit for marine audio systems.
Marine Durability
Built for Sun, Salt, Spray, and Open Water
The UTE-M701 is designed for marine environments with an IP66 waterproof front panel, IP55-rated chassis, and waterproof harness connectors. The unit is also tested for salt and fog resistance under ASTM B117 and UV resistance under ASTM G154, supporting long-term durability in harsh conditions.
- IP66 waterproof front panel.
- IP55-rated chassis.
- ASTM B117 salt and fog tested.
- ASTM G154 UV tested.

Audio Tuning & Expansion
Built-In Control for Larger Marine Systems
Beyond its internal amplification, the UTE-M701 includes 6-channel 4V RCA pre-outs, 2-channel 4V subwoofer outputs, a 6-band parametric EQ, and adjustable subwoofer level control. These features make it easier to integrate amplifiers, subwoofers, and multi-zone speaker systems.
- 6-band parametric EQ.
- Adjustable subwoofer level control.
- 6-channel 4V RCA pre-outs.
- 2-channel 4V subwoofer output.
The UTE-M701 is built specifically for marine use, with waterproof and weather-resistant construction intended for sun, salt, spray, and open-water conditions.
