Combining three technologies into one heavy-duty device, Prospec Electronics JBLMBB2020 Black Box is Bluetooth audio streaming, broadcasts AM/FM radio and hooks up to portable media devices. Featuring a 4 x 45 watt internal amplifier, the JBLMBB2020 has a built-in RF receiver with the handheld RF transmitter sold separately (part MILRF9).
Other features include aux-in, E-prom (memory retention), USB input and control, and three pairs of RCA outputs including subwoofer. It’s capable of both US and European tuning and implements two wired remote ports.
This receiver’s face plate comes in a sleek glossy black. The black box measures 6-1/2″ W x 1-1/4″ H x 6-1/2″ L.
Operators can control the device with its simple pushbuttons for volume, tuning and programmed stations. The black box is a valuable asset in providing audio to the outdoor industry because it allows the brains (black box) to be installed separately from the faceplate. This results in an install in tight spaces, as a chassis in the typical sense has now vanished.
Prospec Electronics’ JBLMBB2020 Black Box Receiver has a retail price of $299.95.
