HARMAN International Industries, the premier connected technologies company for marine, automotive, consumer and enterprise markets, announced today the launch of the JBL RALLYBAR for the marine market.

Offered in two sizes, the 21-inch long RALLYBAR S and the 35-inch long RALLYBAR XL. Both soundbars are built to withstand the harsh marine environment and are equipped with marine grade 2.75-inch woofers, one-inch tweeters and passive radiators which with Harman's extraordinary tuning allows for bass response like no other sound system available.

The S model includes eight marine-grade speakers (four woofers, two tweeters, and two radiators), and is powered by a built in DSP with a class D 150Wrms amplifier.

The XL model has ten marine-grade speakers (eight woofers, two tweeters, and four radiators, allowing for bass response of an 10-inch subwoofer) and is powered by a built-in DSP with a class D 300Wrms amplifier. For lighting effects, it has built-in RGB LED lighting modes.

Both models of sound bar incorporate Bluetooth (BT 5.3), USB input and 3.5mm aux-in and aux-out.

They can be used as a standalone audio system or can be incorporated into existing audio systems through Bluetooth or the Aux input. No matter the application the RALLYBARs can be linked together via Bluetooth with Harman's proprietary PartyMode allowing connectivity to as many that are in range for a bigger party at the sandbar or on the dock.

The durable extruded aluminum body is IP66 rated, making RALLYBAR impervious to mud and water. Its innovative mounting kit is designed for a variety of installation options. With a compact footprint, it can be pedestal, hard top or tower mounted without interfering with head clearance or line of sight. For RIBs, small center consols or pontoons it can be an all-in-one audio solution, while on larger vessels it can supplement exiting audio systems or add a "captain only" system for the flybridge.

"The RALLYBAR is rugged, attractive and brings the party to any outdoor activity," said Kent Jopling, Senior Global Sales Manager, Special Markets. "Whether at the sandbar or accompanying your wake boarding adventure it provides the perfect soundtrack to your time on the water."

The RALLYBAR S, and RALLYBAR XL are available in either white or black at a suggested retail price of $649.99 to $999.99.

The RALLYBAR will be on display at the Miami International Boat Show from February 12-16, at booth #3238.
