JL Audio JLA-010-03133-00 MM105-HR MediaMaster 105 Stereo - Hidden Marine Source Unit
Premium IP66 weatherproof hideaway marine source unit designed for remote mounting with NMEA 2000 control, multi-zone technology, and comprehensive connectivity.
Product Overview
The JL Audio MediaMaster 105-HR (MM105-HR) marine stereo (JLA-010-03133-00) delivers professional-grade marine audio system control in a hideaway receiver configuration designed for remote mounting and integration with existing helm displays. Unlike the dash-mounted MM105, the HR (Hideaway Receiver) model mounts out of sight in storage compartments, behind panels, or in equipment areas, with control via NMEA 2000 networked displays, compatible multifunction displays (MFDs), or smartphone Bluetooth connection. This design philosophy creates ultra-clean helm aesthetics by eliminating traditional head unit bezels while maintaining full access to the MM105's powerful feature set including Multi-Zone technology controlling four independent audio zones, each with dedicated outputs. Comprehensive source options include AM/FM radio with RDS (plus HD Radio for North America or DAB+ for Europe), Bluetooth wireless streaming, dual USB ports supporting iPhone/iPod and USB storage devices, dual auxiliary inputs, and SiriusXM-ready capability. The IP66 weatherproof rating protects the hideaway unit when properly installed in sheltered locations, while NMEA 2000 networking integration enables seamless control from compatible marine electronics throughout the vessel. Operating across extreme temperature ranges (-20°C to +70°C), the MM105-HR is ideal for custom installations, yacht integrations, or vessels prioritizing clean helm design without sacrificing audio system capability.
Features & Benefits
Hideaway receiver design eliminates visible head unit installation at the helm, creating clean, uncluttered dash aesthetics while maintaining full audio system functionality through NMEA 2000 networked control. IP66 weatherproof rating protects against powerful water jets and dust intrusion when properly installed in sheltered locations such as electronics compartments, behind access panels, or in storage areas. Multi-Zone technology enables independent control of four separate audio zones throughout the vessel, allowing simultaneous playback of different sources in helm, cockpit, cabin, and tower areas—all controllable via networked displays. NMEA 2000 integration allows control from compatible marine multifunction displays (MFDs), chartplotters, and helm electronics, enabling unified system operation through existing navigation displays rather than requiring dedicated audio head unit space. Comprehensive source integration includes AM/FM with RDS data display, digital HD Radio reception in North America or DAB+ in Europe for superior broadcast quality, Bluetooth wireless streaming with up to 35-foot range, dual USB ports supporting MFi-certified iPhone/iPod plus USB storage, dual auxiliary inputs, and SiriusXM-ready capability. Four-zone RCA pre-out configuration provides dedicated left/right outputs plus mono subwoofer output for each of four zones, enabling sophisticated multi-amplifier systems with zone-specific bass management. Compact hideaway dimensions (59mm H x 196mm W x 170mm D) fit in equipment spaces where dash-mounted units cannot, while maintaining all connectivity and performance of the standard MM105. Multi-language interface supports English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish for international operations. Extreme temperature operating range (-20°C to +70°C) ensures reliable performance in diverse mounting locations from bilge areas to engine compartments.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I control the MM105-HR if there's no display on the unit itself? The MM105-HR is controlled through NMEA 2000 networked marine displays such as multifunction displays (MFDs), chartplotters, or compatible helm electronics from brands like Garmin, Raymarine, Simrad, and others that support NMEA 2000 audio control. Once connected to the NMEA 2000 network, audio control appears as a menu option on compatible displays, providing full access to source selection, zone control, volume adjustment, and settings. Additionally, Bluetooth-connected smartphones can control playback of Bluetooth-streamed content. This eliminates the need for dedicated head unit space while providing control from multiple locations throughout the vessel.
What's the difference between IP66 on the MM105-HR versus IP67 on the standard MM105? IP66 provides protection against powerful water jets and complete dust intrusion, suitable for sheltered mounting locations like electronics compartments or behind access panels where direct water immersion is unlikely but spray/jets may occur. IP67 provides protection against complete water immersion up to 1 meter depth plus dust intrusion, necessary for exposed dash mounting. The MM105-HR's IP66 rating is appropriate for its intended hideaway installation in protected areas, while the dash-mounted MM105 requires IP67 for exposed helm mounting. Both ratings provide excellent protection for their respective installation environments.
Where should I mount the MM105-HR in my boat? Ideal mounting locations include electronics compartments behind the helm, storage areas with access panels, under-dash cavities with ventilation, equipment bays with other marine electronics, or custom-built electronics enclosures. Choose locations that provide: (1) IP66 protection from water jets/spray but not complete submersion, (2) adequate ventilation to prevent heat buildup, (3) accessibility for USB connections and service, (4) protection from direct sun exposure, and (5) cable routing paths to amplifiers, antenna, and NMEA network. Avoid bilge areas where water immersion may occur, as IP66 does not protect against submersion.
Can I use the MM105-HR without NMEA 2000 networking? While possible, it's not recommended. Without NMEA 2000 control, you'd be limited to Bluetooth control for Bluetooth sources only, with no way to access AM/FM radio, USB playback, auxiliary inputs, or system settings. The MM105-HR is specifically designed for integration with NMEA 2000 displays—if you don't have compatible networked displays, consider the standard MM105 with its integrated control surface and display instead. The hideaway receiver model assumes you have existing helm electronics that support NMEA 2000 audio control.
Why would I choose the MM105-HR over the standard MM105? Choose the MM105-HR when: (1) you want ultra-clean helm aesthetics without visible head unit bezels, (2) your vessel already has NMEA 2000 compatible displays at the helm, (3) you're building a custom yacht installation with integrated electronics, (4) dash space is limited or fully utilized by navigation electronics, (5) you prefer controlling all systems through unified multifunction displays rather than separate devices, or (6) security is a concern and hiding the source unit deters theft. The MM105-HR provides identical audio functionality to the standard MM105 but prioritizes integration and aesthetics over standalone operation.
