JBL R3500 Wake Series Marine Receiver with Bluetooth 5.0
The JBL R3500 is an all-weather marine receiver designed to bring powerful JBL audio and flexible connectivity to your time on the water. With Bluetooth 5.0, AM/FM/WB radio, a 4-inch LCD, USB and AUX inputs, and 2-ohm stability, it puts essential entertainment features within easy reach. Plus, its weather-resistant design is prepared for demanding marine environments.
Built for Life on the Water
Marine audio faces conditions that ordinary electronics rarely encounter. The JBL R3500 features an IPX7-rated front panel designed to withstand rain, UV exposure, salt, and other elements. The rear carries an IPX3 rating, adding protection where it matters.
Reliability testing also exposes the receiver to conditions ranging from UV and salt spray to rain and spills. As a result, you can enjoy your music with hardware developed specifically for days on the water.
4 x 30W RMS Audio Performance
The JBL R3500 delivers 4 x 30W RMS at 4 ohms, giving your marine audio system capable built-in power. Its 2-ohm stability also provides greater flexibility when you want to expand your speaker setup.
For example, you can add four tower speakers alongside four existing built-in speakers without needing an additional amplifier. It's a practical way to expand your sound while keeping the system straightforward.
Bluetooth 5.0 for Wireless Music
Want to pass music control between people on the boat? Bluetooth 5.0 allows two boaters to connect simultaneously, making it easier for multiple users to take turns playing their favorite tracks.
The JBL R3500 also benefits from faster data transfer and greater range with Bluetooth 5.0 compared with Bluetooth 4.2. Therefore, wireless audio becomes a convenient part of your marine entertainment setup.
AM, FM, and Weather Band Radio
Sometimes you just want to turn on the radio instead of choosing a playlist. The receiver supports AM, FM, and WB radio, giving you multiple ways to tune in while you're on the water.
You can listen to a favorite station, follow a football game, or access Weather Band radio directly through the same marine source unit.
USB Input for Music and Smartphone Charging
The USB input adds another convenient way to enjoy your music. Simply connect a USB drive to play compatible MP3 and WMA tracks through the JBL R3500.
The USB port can also charge your smartphone. Consequently, you can keep your phone powered while staying connected to calls and your music during the day.
Multiple Audio Connection Options
Bluetooth isn't your only choice. An AUX input gives you another option for connecting an audio source, while left and right pre-outs provide additional connectivity for your marine audio system.
A rear amplifier plug is also included among the receiver's connection features. Together, these options make the source unit more versatile for different audio setups.
4-Inch LCD and Backlit Controls
The JBL R3500 features a 4-inch LCD paired with practical physical controls. A backlit rotary encoder makes navigating your audio controls straightforward, while the power button is also backlit.
The bold front-panel design keeps important controls together, giving you a dedicated marine receiver built around everyday usability.
