Description
UTE-MN801 Waterproof Marine Bluetooth® Receiver with NMEA 2000®
The Alpine UTE-MN801 is built as the command center of a marine audio system, combining built-in amplification, dual-zone control, wireless streaming, and NMEA 2000® compatibility in a marine-ready receiver. Designed for sun, salt, spray, and open-water use, it gives boats a durable source unit with flexible audio expansion, connected-system integration, and straightforward helm control.
Overview
Marine Audio Command with Network Integration
The UTE-MN801 is positioned as the command center of a marine audio system, combining source control, built-in amplification, dual-zone functionality, and marine-network compatibility in one helm-ready unit. Its built-in 6-channel amplifier delivers 17 watts RMS per channel, while onboard tuning and preamp outputs support broader system expansion over time.
Dual-zone control allows separate adjustment for different listening areas such as the helm and cockpit, making it easier to tailor the onboard listening experience to different parts of the boat.
- Built-in 6-channel amplifier rated at 17W RMS x 6.
- Dual-zone audio control for helm and cockpit listening areas.
- Built as a central command unit for marine audio systems.
Marine Durability
Built for Sun, Salt, Spray, and Open Water
The UTE-MN801 is designed for marine environments with an IP66 waterproof front panel, IP55-rated chassis, and waterproof harness connectors. It is also tested to ASTM B117 for salt and fog resistance and ASTM G154 for UV resistance, supporting long-term durability against corrosion, sun exposure, and harsh conditions.
- IP66 waterproof front panel.
- IP55-rated chassis.
- ASTM B117 salt and fog tested.
- ASTM G154 UV tested.
Feature Highlights
What the UTE-MN801 Adds to a Boat
Helm Control
Simple, Tactile Operation on the Water
The UTE-MN801 uses a 2.8-inch full-color TFT display with a non-touch interface designed for fast control while underway. Large tactile buttons, a rotary knob, and 5-level dimmable illumination are intended to make volume changes, track selection, and source control easier in changing light conditions.
- 2.8" full-color TFT display.
- 240 x 320 resolution.
- 5-level dimmable display illumination.
- Rotary control and physical buttons.
Audio Tuning & Expansion
Built for Growth Beyond a Basic Marine Receiver
The UTE-MN801 includes onboard tuning and output flexibility for more capable marine systems. A 6-band parametric EQ, adjustable subwoofer level control, 6-channel 4V RCA pre-outs, and 2-channel 4V subwoofer outputs make it easier to integrate amplifiers, subs, and multi-zone speaker layouts.
- 6-band parametric EQ.
- Adjustable subwoofer level control.
- 6-channel 4V RCA pre-outs.
- 2-channel 4V subwoofer output.
Connected Boat Integration
NMEA 2000® Compatibility for a More Unified Helm
Built-in NMEA 2000® compatibility allows the UTE-MN801 to integrate with compatible onboard marine electronics. This makes it a stronger fit for connected boat systems where audio is intended to be part of a broader control environment at the helm.
- NMEA 2000® compatible.
- Designed for integration with compatible marine systems.
- Supports a more connected onboard control experience.
The UTE-MN801 is built specifically for marine use, with waterproof and weather-resistant construction intended for sun, salt, spray, and open-water conditions.
