STILLWATER, USA – For the first time in its 43-year history, KICKER® has developed and perfected high-performance media centers for the marine market, and consumers can purchase them now at authorized KICKER dealers. The KICKER KMC10 Media Center and KMC20 Premium Media Center deliver all-weather performance with IPX6 waterproof certification, as well as ASTM salt/fog and ultraviolet exposure guarantees. The radios and their accessory product KRC15 Digital Remote Commander are the first source units to carry the KICKER label.

Bluetooth® devices easily pair with either KMC Media Center, and once a device is initialized, a custom 12-character source name can be added. While streaming Bluetooth audio, station and artist info appears on the screen. Cover art can even be displayed during playback when connecting a phone to either KMC’s USB charging ports.

The KMC20 Premium Media Center (MSRP $749.95) was designed for full ease of use on the water. The full-color, sunlight-viewable LCD screen includes day/night mode and controls several sources including Bluetooth, SiriusXM®, AM/FM, in addition to a pair of RCA auxiliary connections and two USB inputs.  It also provides dual-zone entertainment control on the boat, allowing independent source, track/station and volume commands from the head unit or from the KRC15 Remote if installed. The second zone can also be named independently. 

The KMC20’s small-footprint, controller display allows for outstanding installation flexibility in an environment where space is always at a premium. The full-color controller is attached to an outboard processor by a single six-foot cable, and it provides three sets of RCAs for amplification, ready for a full complement of amplifiers including a dedicated subwoofer output.

The KMC10 All-In-One Media Center (MSRP $549.95) is a single-zone unit with all systems integrated into a single frame. Sharing the same full-color display and Bluetooth capabilities as the KMC20, this unit provides two sets of RCA outputs, as well as an auxiliary RCA input and USB connection. It is also compatible with the KRC15 Remote.

Both units’ weather-band priority system is a valuable KICKER safety feature. This defeatable system prompts the user with an alert to turn the receiver to the weather-band, regardless of the source that the media center is playing.  Additionally, a battery-monitoring system is also included on both, sounding an alert when the voltage drops below an acceptable threshold. This kind of foresight ensures that the vessel’s charging system always retains priority over the audio system.

The separately sold KRC15 Remote (MSRP $149.95) is mountable anywhere a boater needs control of the entertainment source.
