Auckland, New Zealand – Fusion®, a worldwide leader in marine audio entertainment, announced today the release of the new FM Series flush mount marine speakers and subwoofers, engineered to deliver high-quality acoustics and bass in a sleek form factor to meet the latest boat design trends.

Designed with a minimalistic, clean look, the FM Series’ low-profile, near-flat installation allows for a visually appealing finish never before seen on a marine speaker or subwoofer. Combining optimized speaker drivers inherited from the XS Series speakers with aluminum dome tweeters to produce high-quality audio at all volume levels, the FM Series is engineered with performance in mind, even at high volume levels. The new speakers also feature a completely new mounting system for non-intrusive, easy installation. Whether installed professionally or as a DYI project, installers simply place the unit in the cutout, tighten the screws and the speaker legs will tighten against the panel, keeping it in place without creating any screw holes.

The FM Series is designed to comply with ISO12216 Annex D1.1 for Areas II, III & IV – an industry first for marine speaker and subwoofer products and a revolutionary milestone for Fusion. ISO12216 is a standard set by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) to recognize the achievement for strength and watertightness – which is critical in the case of flooding that could lead to a rupture in the vessel’s structure affecting stability and buoyancy.

Built for versatility and ease of integration, another unique feature of the FM Series is the ability to create a 2.1 audio zone. Simplifying installation and reducing system costs boaters can simply connect a pair of FM Series speakers and an FM Series subwoofer directly to a 2 Ohm stereo stable Fusion Multi-Zone stereo with built-in DSP, configure the DSP and enjoy high quality bass without the need for an external amplifier.

“We are excited to announce the FM Series speakers and subwoofers,” said Peter Edwards, managing director, Fusion Entertainment. “Modern vessel design is moving towards more and more sleek and subtle design elements. Our new flush mount speakers and subwoofers fit that aesthetic, without sacrificing sound quality. Additionally, with the new ISO12216 certification, boat owners can be confident that Fusion speakers are a safe addition to their vessel, for the ultimate peace of mind.”

The FM Series are designed to be mounted with a flange no thicker than one-eighth of an inch. Available in either round or square models and white and black color options, they come in two sizes, 7.7-inch 200W and 6.5-inch 120W to meet different customers’ needs. Matching 10-inch 400W FM Series subwoofers are also available to add another dimension to the onboard audio entertainment experience.

Fusion, the leader in marine entertainment, is dedicated to offering innovative solutions that enhance personal leisure time on the water. Fusion, owned by Garmin, builds products that exceed regulatory standards using the latest technologies at Garmin’s international ISO accredited manufacturing facility.

Auckland, New Zealand – Fusion®, a worldwide leader in marine audio entertainment, announced today the release of the new SM Series shallow mount marine speakers, engineered to deliver high-quality acoustics ideal for installations where mounting depth is limited.

The SM Series is specifically designed with a sealed, perfectly-tuned enclosure to produce quality audio reproduction that could normally not be achieved with a standard speaker of similar size in the same location. The sealed enclosure design enables for a truly shallow mounting solution without compromising sound quality and protects all components from damage, making the SM Series capable of being installed in positions such as cabinets without needing rear speaker cups that often reduce sound quality and complicate installation. In addition, concealed mounting holes allow for a more uniform, cleaner look.

The new speakers can be installed in various positions to suit any situation. There are two optional accessory mounting spacers available to support this and provide flexibility. The two-surface corner spacer is designed to fit perfectly into perpendicular spaces where two walls meet. The three-surface corner spacer is ideal for angling the speaker down from a ceiling corner for better acoustics. The SM Series is available in two color options: fabric white and black for interior installations.

“We are excited to announce the SM Series speakers,” said Peter Edwards, managing director, Fusion Entertainment. “Boats often present unique installation challenges while aesthetically pleasing and functional audio is an afterthought for most boat designers. Our new shallow-mount speakers are perfect for offering the highest quality sound with extremely versatile mounting options.”

Douglasville, Georgia – September 12th, 2019 – Omega's product development team announces Enhancements to the 70-Series Excalibur Remote Start line. Firmware version V1.6 is already available on OmegaWebLInk.com.

The 70-Series is already Omega’s most advanced Remote-Start line ever. Omega takes a populist stance by including high end & high-leverage features across the entire line, including the “entry” price-point systems. No other maker packs the entire product line with the latest tech. Most other brands eliminate flexibility by stripping “entry level” systems and force you to reinstall when customers want to upgrade to mid-level or high-level capabilities.

All Omega “Excalibur” 70-Series units are updateable. Easily flash the main unit’s firmware by using our OL-LOADER USB cable and OmegaWeblink.com. Your inventory will never be obsolete. Stop waiting until the next shipment for bug fixes or vehicle compatibility enhancements.

Enhancements include:

• The main unit’s Firmware version is now indicated by the LED upon power up.
• Horn output (User Feature #5) now defaulted to Human Panic mode for guaranteed attention when the alarm is triggered. Stand out from the rest.
• Vehicle Learn now has improved timing windows to make programming on Push-To-Start Vehicles a breeze.
• New Sensor Test Mode allows installers to quickly dial in any added sensors and test all trigger zones without repeated arming & disarming. Unique chirps are given for each zone. It also allows for quick diagnosing of false triggering and stuck zones.

70-Series highlights:

All Omega 70-Series models include a Patented Vehicle Learn procedure that automatically adapts to the vehicle’s unique properties. It will identify all connected IGNITION, ACCESSORY, & START circuits and reconfigure its outputs to match the vehicle. It will poll any accessories or bypass modules connected to the data ports & automatically switch to the matching protocol. It will also identify & utilize the best available engine detection method (data tach, analog tach wire, or progressive voltage sensing) & automatically sample idle rpm (when needed). Click here or visit our YouTube channel to watch a video on how simple Vehicle Learn really is.

With 70-Series, Omega is first in adding a built-in Accelerometer to the antenna (Patented). All “3D” models are equipped with a 3D accelerometer BUILT into the window mount antenna for extra safety when manual transmission starting. If during the remote start attempt the accelerometer senses any movement, it will abort the attempt. Having the 3D accelerometer in the window mounted antenna is far superior to having it as a plug-in sensor due to its isolated & rigid install location. It won’t be susceptible to normal engine vibration that can cause a false positive, shutting down your remote start attempt. This is a major refinement in the user experience.

All 70-Series models come standard with "Low-Temperature" start, “High-Temperature” start & "Low-Battery Voltage" start, even our "entry level units". Both high and low temp auto start have selectable thresholds for full customization.

All 70-Series Starters have Two Independent Self-Learning Dataports, so you never need to hardware your telematics devices. Both support iDatalink & DBI protocols, so you can mix & match the modules and telematics devices you’re plugging in. Systems with a "B" in the part number also feature a BLADE slot for use with our BLADE interface cartridges (OL-BLADE-AL64 or OL-BLADE-TB) offering the cleanest install possible.

All 70-Series Starters are flashable using a PC and the OmegaWebLInk.com site. This means that the installer can update the remote start unit’s firmware, and set the programmable features. This is insurance against inventory obsolescence. 

All  70-Series Starters running V1.5 or higher are Plug & Play compatible with 3rd party telematics platforms such as “Linkr”, “My Car” & “DRONE”. You can put Excalibur Remote Start units at the core of every install and still offer the exact desired customer experience.

Excalibur 70-Series features select "1+1 button" models:  Industry wide, the 1-Button remote control is attractive to users who desire a smaller remote, and fewer unused buttons. As this 1-Button segment grows, but more commands are added to the 1-Button remote control, users have to remember an array of button press combinations to activate different functions. The 1+1 button remote is ideal for pickup truck installations and eliminates functional confusion of 1-button keyless entry/start systems.

For example, traditional 1-button remotes require press and release for START, press & hold for Lock/Unlock, or press 2 times within 3 seconds for????. Also, multiple button presses and Press & Hold combinations can reduce the remote’s transmitting range.  The 1+1 remote solves this by offering the traditional large START button, and also a smaller dedicated Lock/Unlock button without increasing the size of the traditional 1-Button remote. It maximizes transmitting range and offers an intuitive and user friendly experience.

All 70-Series Omega remote start units have a built-in Security Suite (defaulted OFF in all “RS” models). It can be enabled with no additional labor if the interface module you use provides door/hood/trunk trigger status. It can also be layered for more protection by adding the AU-84TDPB “data” Shock sensor. Actually, whenever a sensor is connected to any “RS” model, the alarm functions will be automatically enabled. The AU-84TDPB has analog door status inputs in case the interface module used does not provide door status for “RS” models without door trigger inputs. Thus every Omega 70-Series starter can be turned into an Alarm/Remote Start COMBO unit.

"3D" units are 2-way Ready, that means that all 1-Way "3D" units come with a 2-way antenna! So to upsell the sale, just learn in a compatible 2-way controller like our 1511-03 enhanced 2-way LED hand held controller.

Omega's 70-Series is the most advance Remote Start in the industry, bar none. It’s as installer friendly and user friendly as any system can get with the flexibility to meet any desire. And since every unit is flashable, you can keep your unit current with the latest updates, insuring you are utilizing the latest tech available.
