DS18 RKS-BT Waterproof Rocker Switch Bluetooth Audio Receiver with Controls - IPX6, BT 5.0 DS18
The DS18 RKS-BT is a Bluetooth audio receiver and controller that installs in a standard rocker switch panel. It is made for boat, powersports and motorcycle sound systems and needs a 21.5 x 36 mm cutout to install.
Bluetooth 5.0 connects from more than 130 ft away (conditions vary). Blue backlit silicone buttons handle power, source, play/pause, next/previous track and volume, and are easy to see at night.
A 2.5V stereo RCA pre-out feeds your amplifier, and a remote output can switch the amp on, so the RKS-BT can work as a stand-alone source unit. It also has a 3.5 mm aux input, an integrated power harness, IPX6 water resistance and overload and power protection.
