| This Sea Ray 390 Motor Yacht is the lap of luxury
with a spacious salon, lots of open glass and an extra wide
aft stateroom. It’s the perfect condo in the water. What
better environment to add an audio/video system. |
 |
At the center of the entertainment system is the electronics
cabinet in the salon. From the top, a 20-inch LCD offers a crisp
picture from either the starboard or port couch. Just below
is a combination DVD and VHS player. A Clarion marine AM/FM/CD
player and accompanying six disc changer provides the source
electronics for both cabin and cockpit systems. Fading to the
rear targets the exterior cockpit system consisting of a large
four-channel amplifier, four 6 1/2-inch marine coaxials and
one 10-inch subwoofer. Fading to full front isolates the interior
cabin system. The cabin system has two distinct zones including
the salon and aft stateroom with individualized volume controls.

Hidden below, we installed a Sony Direct TV satellite receiver
which is connected to a dish antenna on the boathouse. This
receiver features a radio frequency remote control allowing
full operation behind closed cabinet doors in the salon, from
the staterooms or even from the bridge.
Just to the left of the satellite TV receiver is a pre-amp
level fader control which delivers the ability to soften the
speakers at the galley end of the salon or dial in the full
surround sound effect.

  |
| Two 6 1/2-inch coaxials are concealed overhead
in the salon. The grills are re-wrapped with an acoustically
transparent cloth which greatly increases the articulation and
high frequency response. |
  |
|
Two Canton speakers are dyed to match the salon upholstery
and mounted on custom-made swivel bases. These 2-way German-made
speakers feature a 1/2-inch aluminum dome tweeter and a mineral-filled
poly mid with a butyl rubber surround. The Canton speakers
offer super detail and a very linear response.
|
 |
An 8-inch subwoofer enclosure is contained within the starboard
couch and radiates out this black louvered vent. The bass
level remains constant as the pre-level fader varies the front
to rear salon balance.
|
 |
The five speaker salon system is powered by a discrete five
channel Alpine amplifier.
The theater sound (ie: Satellite TV, DVD or VHS HI FI) plays
through the Clarion audio system including the five salon
speakers, two stateroom speakers and five cockpit speakers.
|
 |
An Alpine XM Satellite Radio receiver and controller was
added. While TV is the primary source of entertainment at
dock, satellite radio is the chosen source while out cruisin’
the lake. For this reason the skipper wanted the satellite
radio controller mounted outside in the cockpit control console.
An infrared target in the salon and an emitter on the XM
controller allows the crew to switch stations from both the
cabin and cockpit.
|
 |
We installed a 20-inch LCD in the aft stateroom replacing
a small TV/VHS combo unit. Just to the right of the LCD screen
a flush-mounted infrared target relays remote control commands
to the salon DVD and VHS player. This allows full control of
DVD, VHS or Satellite TV while retired to the stateroom. |
 |
Within the stateroom, below the air conditioning control and
AC outlet, we installed a local speaker volume control. This
allows the stereo speakers in the stateroom to be turned up,
down or off. The stateroom speakers can play music sources or
supplement the theater sound when watching a movie. |
 |
The cabinet port shown conceals a TV outlet on the bridge.
This fourth TV zone allows the skipper and his friends to watch
a sporting event from the cockpit supported by the sound of
four 6 1/2-inch coaxials and a 10-inch sub. The TV formerly
occupying the stateroom becomes the perfect exterior TV. Every
video source including local broadcast, Satellite TV, DVD and
VHS is viewable from this exterior station. |
| Whether for entertaining or just a private
getaway, this motor yacht is equipped with all the sight and
sound amenities to maximize the recreational experience. |
