Setting the Standard
When we make marine-based source units,
we don’t just slap on marine-like cosmetics
and call it a day. What we have done is
spent years perfecting our ability to design
and engineer water-resistant and UV-
resistant source units. Introducing
Clarion’s new CMD4, a source unit
designed to resist splashdowns, rain, and
whatever the marine environment throws
its way. The difference is more features,
and an all-new cosmetic design. Bottom
line, the CMD4 sounds as good as it looks.
Quick Release Door With Watertight
Seal
Clarion’s unique rubber gasket and door
assembly offer the CMD4’s internal com-
ponents complete water protection.
Enduring 10,000 duty cycles of testing,
this type of innovation is nothing new to
Clarion. Our designs have been the indus-
try reference for years, offering unparal-
leled durability under extreme conditions.
This design also allows for easy, one-touch
CD loading, making the unit both functional
and reliable.
Integrated Drip Shield, Mounting
Gasket and Bracket
This design protects the source unit’s
chassis from front-panel leakage and seals
the bulkhead to further augment the
water-resistant faceplate equipping the
CMD4. This design also provides maximum
chassis support and allows for easy instal-
lation.
The Industry Reference
What makes Clarion’s marine speakers the
best? Attention to detail. We pride our-
selves on our speakers’ ability to repro-
duce sound that’s second to none. From
the titanium dome tweeters to the
polypropylene mid-woofer cone, rubber
insulated leads, and gold-plated terminals,
Clarion’s marine speakers were made to
handle the marine environment. We take it
a step further when comes to the speaker
grilles and frames, creating them out of a
non-corrosive, high-impact material called
Centrex 814. Its properties make it resist-
ant to cracking and discoloration. No one
can tout this type of durability … Clarion,
we do it right.
MOS-FET Amplification
There’s only one way for Clarion’s marine-
based source units to supply unyielding
power output and superior linearity: MOS-
FET amplification. Smaller and more effi-
cient than conventional power supplies,
the MOS-FET amplification circuit delivers
power with less distortion and zero On/Off
switching noise. So crank it up, or turn it
down for easy listening. Either way, your
music will never sound quite like this.
Marine Power Amplifier
A marine amplifier is essential in marine
applications where high ambient noise,
such as wind, water and engine, competes
with the sound system. Without an ampli-
fier, cranking up the volume only means
one thing: increased distortion and dam-
age to your speakers. It’s a known fact in
the audio world that an amplifier does
more than increase a system’s volume
level. It reduces distortion at high volume
levels, resulting in music reproduction
that’s crisp, clean and powerful.
Marine Speakers
Clarion is introducing its most aggressive
speaker lineup yet, as it unveils all-new
seven-inch designs. The innovation starts
with its Sport Series line, which includes a
seven-inch coaxial and a 10-inch sub-
woofer. Both utilize a durable polypropylene
cone, and both offer a new cosmetic
design. Clarion is also coming to market
with three new seven-inch and three new
6 ?-inch speaker solutions. Rounding out
this lineup is an additional 10-inch sub-
woofer. This is a lineup that you can get
wet, because at Clarion, we don’t sacrifice
quality in our pursuit of listening perfec-
tion.
PEI Cone Tweeter
Possessing superior physical properties,
Clarion’s PEI (polyether imide) cone pro-
vides superior sound while offering high
rigidity, high durability, as well as high
resistance to extreme heat and weather.
This design also boasts an ultra-light-
weight diaphragm, resulting in a highly effi-
cient tweeter that provides fast dynamic
response.
There’s nothing like spending a day out on the water – friends, family,
food, drink and some tunes. It inspires a feeling you can’t get anywhere
else. It’s this feeling that Clarion has been in pursuit of for years, creat-
ing products that not only sound good, but were made specifically for
the marine environment … Introducing Clarion’s 2005 marine-based
product line. For the next five pages, you will see three new source
units, two new wired source-unit remotes, a powerful amplifier line, and
an all-new speaker line that speaks to Clarion’s motto in 2005: “Bigger
is better.”
