Automotive-quality AM/FM radio and digital weather radio tuner with RDS

The PMX-8BB from Rockford Fosgate comes with a high-quality, automotive-grade AM/FM radio that offers access to a wide variety of broadcasts. Its digital weather radio function provides user-friendly access to weather information through the integrated Radio Data System (RDS), so you'll always be up to date. The FM tuner operates in a wide frequency range from 87.5 MHz to 107.9 MHz and offers 18 FM, 12 AM, and 6 weather band presets. This ensures that the quality and clarity of the radio transmission is always optimal. This feature set exceeds that of standard car hi-fi receivers, as the increased program memory allows for greater flexibility. For example, if you had fewer presets, you would have to repeatedly save your favorite stations.

Bluetooth 3.0+EDR and comprehensive control options

With the PMX-8BB, you'll enjoy Bluetooth 3.0+EDR technology, which provides a reliable wireless connection for audio streaming. It supports the A2DP 1.3 profile, enabling better audio quality. The Rockford Fosgate device ensures full control over your Android or iOS device thanks to compatible AVRCP 1.4 control. Furthermore, the PMX-8BB is Apple-certified with Made for iPhone, enabling seamless integration with iPhone and iPod models. These control options represent the cutting edge of digital media receiver technology, providing essential interfaces to modern mobile devices. Should you unexpectedly encounter a device with an older Bluetooth standard, bandwidth limitations may impact connection quality and integration.

RCA output signal strength and zone-independent DSP

With a 4-volt RCA output, the PMX-8BB delivers a powerful signal with low noise and a high dynamic range—perfect for use in premium audio systems. A total of four RCA outputs are available for different zones, consisting of four channels per zone (two full-range and two subs), allowing detailed control over each audio zone. Dedicated DSP audio processors provide independent adjustment for each zone, including a 7-band EQ and Punch EQ. This level of in-depth control over the sound is ideal for vehicles with differentiated sound reproduction areas. Compared to simpler modalities with a standard 2-volt output, the 4-volt output offers a superior signal-to-noise ratio.

Adjustable crossover frequencies and configurations

Gain ultimate flexibility with selectable high-pass and low-pass crossover points for each of the independent zones. You can set crossover slopes of 12 dB or 24 dB depending on your sound preferences. Use these options to precisely determine which frequencies should land on which speaker channels. High-pass filters protect smaller speakers from extreme bass, and low-pass filters isolate subwoofers to handle the low-frequency forces. The ability to adjust these frequency limits is essential if your focus is on accurate reproduction through dedicated channel subwoofer management. A lower crossover point can also enable better integration into the overall system to avoid frequency overlap.

Integrated voltage monitoring and EEPROM memory

The integrated voltage indicator with low-voltage alarm provides immediate information about the system's electrical stability. This provides greater protection for your audio equipment by identifying and alerting you to sub-critical voltage conditions. The PMX-8BB uses EEPROM memory to save your settings, ensuring consistent sound preferences even when the power is turned off. Non-volatile memory of this type is not uncommon in the car hi-fi sector, but its presence offers greater flexibility in ensuring the stability of your audio configurations. If the memory were purely volatile, all settings would be lost every time the power is turned off, which would be disastrous, especially with complex setups.

USB connectivity and advanced software updates

With a rear USB port that supports 1A charging and displays album art from USB-connected iPhones, the PMX-8BB ensures reliable connectivity. USB 2.0 is supported, and with a maximum storage capacity of 32GB, up to 999 directories and tracks can be managed. Update the firmware quickly and easily via USB to always have access to the latest functions and audio feature enhancements. This level of expandability ensures that you're not stuck with a static system, but can always benefit from the latest developments. However, if the USB capacity were to be reduced, the variety of available media would be severely limited, which could diminish the attractiveness of the installation.

IPX5 water protection and CANbus compatibility for maximum connectivity

C The PMX-8BB offers IPX5 protection against water ingress and resistant protection against splashes from all directions. This ensures reliability in challenging conditions, such as on ships where wet conditions are common or in vehicles with open environments. The CANbus standard allows for use with NMEA2K-enabled multi-function displays via PMX-CAN. This connection versatility opens up the possibility of comprehensive access to information terminals and organizing multimedia content with advanced control. A water-resistant housing is essential in the maritime sector; without it, there is a high risk of moisture damage to components, which could seriously impair functionality.

Remote control capability and comprehensive connection options

Thanks to the wired remote control option, which can be combined with up to three control devices, you get smooth, centralized control. External steering wheel controls are supported, and an external trigger input activates rear camera mode. The included AUX input on the rear panel provides additional flexibility for audio devices. In this respect, the PMX-8BB offers a wider range of control options than many competing models, which often don't offer as many remote control options. A less flexible system could limit you to a single control option, severely limiting the ability for fine-tuning and customization.

All-in-one entertainment with Pandora and SiriusXM

The PMX-8BB allows comprehensive control of Pandora Internet radio via both USB for Apple and Bluetooth for Android devices. It is also SiriusXM ready and requires a simple SXV300 accessory for full access to satellite radio stations. This service array allows for exploration of a wide range of music and entertainment options to suit every taste. The PMX-8BB is at the forefront of entertainment systems, as many alternative models in this segment either support only one source or rely on additional modules to offer such station diversity.

Built-in amplifier and audio format compatibility

The PMX-8BB's integrated power amplifier is more powerful than many mainstream receivers and meets the CEA-2006 power rating of 25W x4 at 4Ω RMS with a maximum THD+N of 1.0%. This ensures high clarity and level stability in the sound. Furthermore, the receiver supports various audio formats such as MP3, WMA, and FLAC, guaranteeing lossless playback. Comparable receivers often only offer MP3 and WMA compatibility, which offers comparatively fewer audiophile formats, with FLAC in particular providing a higher-quality playback option.
