Garmin Fusion Apollo MS-RA800 Marine Stereo


Description

The Fusion Apollo MS-RA800 is Garmin's most powerful and technologically advanced marine stereo ever built. Designed for serious boaters who refuse to compromise on sound, it delivers lossless, high-resolution audio through a built-in Class-D amplifier that produces 50% more power than its predecessor, the RA770. The edge-to-edge glass 4.3-inch touchscreen display is crisp, bright, and easy to read even in direct sunlight, while the sleek black glass faceplate flush-mounts cleanly into any helm layout.

Built-in Wi-Fi enables seamless Apple AirPlay 2 streaming for a high-fidelity wireless listening experience, and Bluetooth 5.3 keeps you connected from across the deck. As part of the Apollo Series ecosystem, the RA800 networks effortlessly with other Apollo stereos, Garmin MFDs, and compatible Garmin watches - giving you centralized audio control no matter where you are on the boat.


Key Features

  • High-Resolution Lossless Audio: First Fusion marine stereo to support hi-res lossless audio, delivered wirelessly via Wi-Fi AirPlay 2 for uncompromised sound quality.
  • Class-D Amplifier (4 x 40W RMS): Built-in amp delivers 40 watts per channel at 4 ohms with less than 0.1% THD - over 50% more power than the predecessor RA770.
  • 4.3" Edge-to-Edge Glass Touchscreen: 800x480 capacitive color LCD with optically bonded display for improved contrast, viewing angles, and daylight readability.
  • Built-In Wi-Fi & Apple AirPlay 2: Stream music wirelessly from your iPhone or Apple device with no signal dropouts or compression artifacts.

  • HDMI ARC & Multiple Sources: Supports AM/FM, DAB+, AirPlay 2, Bluetooth, HDMI ARC, USB-C, AUX x2, and more - the most versatile source lineup in a Fusion stereo.
  • IPX6/IPX7 Front Panel Rating: Built on Fusion's True-Marine design philosophy - tested against salt fog, UV, temperature, and vibration for lasting durability at sea.
  • Digital Signal Processing (DSP): Configurable DSP profiles via the free Fusion Audio app optimize sound for your specific onboard environment at any volume.
  • Drop-In RA770 Upgrade: Identical form factor and wiring loom as the RA770 - upgrading from the previous model is straightforward and hassle-free.

FAQ

Does the RA800 require a Wi-Fi router on board to use AirPlay?

Not necessarily. AirPlay streaming can operate through a compatible Garmin MFD or Apollo Series stereo network that has Wi-Fi enabled, in addition to a standard wireless network router. Check the Garmin compatibility list to confirm your existing setup will support it without a dedicated router.

Can I control the RA800 from a Garmin chartplotter or smartwatch?

Yes. The RA800 is compatible with a wide range of Garmin GPSMAP and ECHOMAP chartplotters via NMEA 2000 or Garmin BlueNet, allowing full audio control at the helm display. It also supports Fusion-Link control from compatible Garmin quatix marine watches, so you can adjust volume and source from your wrist.

Is the RA800 a direct swap upgrade from the RA770?

Yes. The MS-RA800 shares the same form factor and wiring loom as the predecessor RA770, making it a straightforward drop-in upgrade. You should not need to re-run wiring or modify your existing cutout to complete the installation.

How many speakers or zones can the RA800 support?

The RA800 features 4 speaker connections (2 amplified zones) and supports up to 4 zones via RCA pre-out for external amplification. Each zone has independent left/right line outputs and a dedicated mono subwoofer output, giving you flexible audio distribution throughout the boat.

What audio formats does the RA800 support over USB?

The RA800 supports MP3, AAC, M4A, FLAC, and WAV audio formats via the USB-C port. FLAC and WAV support means you can play lossless audio files directly from a USB drive for the highest quality local playback.

Is the RA800 waterproof enough for an open-cockpit or offshore boat?

The front panel is rated IPX6 (protected against powerful water jets) and IPX7 (submersion up to 1 meter for 30 minutes) when properly installed. The rear of the unit is rated IPX3. It has also been tested for resistance to salt fog, UV exposure, vibration, and temperature extremes as part of Fusion's True-Marine certification - making it well-suited for exposed marine environments.
