PMX-8DH by Rockford Fosgate

The PMX-8DH, used with the hidden media receiver PMX-8BB, is a wired display head controller that gives you access to all the receiver's functions. It features an ultra-bright 5-inch TFT color display that remains clearly readable even in direct sunlight and prevents dust and moisture ingress through optical wet bonding. It meets IPX6 protection class and has a waterproof rotary knob with white LED button illumination. Additionally, it includes front panel lighting and sub-controls, a composite video input, and a conformal coated circuit board for protection against the elements.

Technical Features
  • 5-inch full-color thin-film transistor display
  • White LED button illumination
  • Front sub-control
  • Waterproof rotary encoder for volume control
  • Wet-bonded front panel: An epoxy layer between the display and cover glass eliminates the air gap to improve visual clarity and prevent dust buildup.
  • Direct composite video input connection
  • Epoxy-coated circuit board for water resistance
  • Two-piece mounting system to secure the panel to the mounting surface
  • IPX6 marine grade to prevent water ingress
  • American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM): B117 salt spray test standard, D4329 UV exposure test standard for plastics
Compatibility
  • The controller is multi-zone capable, meaning in combination with the PMX-8BB media receiver it can independently control up to 4 zones and 3 input sources (e.g., tuner, Bluetooth, Aux). It is ideal to use additional wired controllers (e.g., PMX-1R) in the respective zones.

Frequently Asked Questions about PMX-8DH


What features does the display of the PMX-8DH offer?

The PMX-8DH display from Rockford Fosgate features an ultra-bright 5-inch TFT color display that remains readable even in direct sunlight. Thanks to optical bonding, the ingress of dust and moisture is effectively prevented, enhancing the display's durability. The IPX6 protection class ensures additional water resistance. The white LED button illumination provides good operability even in low light conditions. The waterproof rotary knob allows for precise volume control. Together with the epoxy coating of the circuit board, the display offers comprehensive protection against the elements.

How does the multi-zone capable media receiver of the PMX-8DH work?

In combination with the PMX-8BB media receiver, the PMX-8DH is capable of controlling up to four audio zones, allowing for flexible management of different audio sources. Users can independently manage up to three input sources such as tuner, Bluetooth, and Aux. This enables the use of different signal sources in separate areas, which is ideal for larger installation environments. The multi-zone function also facilitates the integration of additional wired controllers, such as the PMX-1R, further increasing usability flexibility.

What are the dimensions of the PMX-8DH display head?

The Rockford Fosgate PMX-8DH display head has specific dimensions of 130 mm in height, 211 mm in width, and 20 mm in depth. These compact measurements allow for easy integration into various installation environments, especially in vehicles. The thoughtful size facilitates installation without taking up too much space. The two-part mounting system offers additional flexibility in securing the panel to the desired mounting surface, making it easier to fit a wide range of vehicle types.

What water resistance standards does the PMX-8DH meet?

The PMX-8DH meets the IPX6 standard, which protects the device against strong water splashes. Additionally, the epoxy-coated circuit board has been specifically designed for water resistance to safeguard the internal electronic components of the display from water damage. Furthermore, the product has been tested according to the ASTM B117 salt spray test standard, which ensures compatibility in marine environments. These rigorous waterproof tests and certifications make the display head excellent for applications in oil and marine environments, where robust devices are essential.

What connections does the PMX-8DH offer for video and audio sources?

The PMX-8DH is equipped with a direct composite video input connection. This allows for easy connection and integration of external video sources. For audio sources, the media receiver is complemented by several connection options. Bluetooth® 3.0+EDR is available for wireless streaming, Pandora® Internet Radio is supported, and a USB 2.0 port is available for firmware updates. These interfaces make it a versatile device that can flexibly adapt to various applications and meet high demands.

What is the maximum voltage at which the PMX-8DH can operate?

The Rockford Fosgate PMX-8DH can be reliably operated with a supply voltage of 10.5 to 16 volts. This voltage range is typical for marine and vehicle internal applications, where a stable power supply must be ensured. The flexible operating voltage requirements facilitate integration into various electrical systems, both in automotive and marine installations, without additional adjustments or special power supplies. This allows the PMX-8DH to be used in different environments that require a robust and resilient device.

What USB functionality does the PMX-8DH offer?

The PMX-8DH from Rockford Fosgate features a USB 2.0 port, primarily available for firmware updates, although it also provides a charging function with an output current of 1 ampere. This function not only allows for software updates, which continuously improve the device's performance and compatibility, but also for charging smaller USB devices such as smartphones or MP3 players. However, the charging capability is limited by the specified output current, which should be considered for energy-intensive devices to ensure optimal functionality.

What protective features support the use of the PMX-8DH outdoors?

The PMX-8DH offers several protective features for outdoor use. The IPX6-certified water resistance is crucial, as is the optical bonding of the display, which prevents moisture and dust ingress. Additionally, the epoxy-coated circuit board effectively shields the electronic components from moisture exposure. The volume control knob is waterproof, and the white LED button illumination enhances visibility. All these features make the PMX-8DH ideal for harsh environments, whether on a boat or in an emergency vehicle.

Can the PMX-8DH be installed in any vehicle?

The dimensions of the PMX-8DH, with a height of 130 mm, a width of 211 mm, and a depth of 20 mm, allow for flexible installation in various vehicle types. The two-part mounting mechanism can be adapted to different mounting surfaces, enabling seamless integration into almost any vehicle interior. It is particularly compatible with maritime and rugged outdoor environments, based on its waterproof and robust characteristics. However, the specific dimensions should be checked against the available space in the vehicle beforehand to ensure a safe and efficient installation.

How is the display accuracy of the 5" TFT display of the PMX-8DH under direct sunlight?

The 5-inch TFT color display of the PMX-8DH ensures excellent readability even in direct sunlight. Thanks to the optical bonding, which prevents air and moisture ingress, the display remains clear and sharp under most lighting conditions. This feature is particularly beneficial in vehicles or on boats, where the display is often exposed to direct sunlight. This technical solution not only enhances user-friendliness but also improves the lifespan and performance of the display by significantly reducing the access of dust and dirt.
