Rockford Fosgate, a high-performance audio systems company, has expanded its marine audio portfolio with the launch of the PMX-6BB Hidden Digital Media Receiver. Designed specifically for marine environments, the new receiver combines integrated amplification, multi-zone control, and NMEA 2000 connectivity in a compact form factor.
The solution is designed for boat owners seeking a clean, factory-style installation while retaining comprehensive control over their onboard audio system.
Seamless Integration with Marine Displays
A key feature of the PMX-6BB is its ability to integrate directly with a compatible Multi-Function Display (MFD) through NMEA 2000 connectivity. This enables users to control their audio system through the vessel’s existing display rather than requiring a dedicated receiver at the helm.
By keeping the main receiver hidden, the system helps maintain a cleaner dashboard while making audio controls accessible through equipment already installed on the boat.
200-Watt Amplification in a Compact Design
The PMX-6BB incorporates a 200-watt internal amplifier capable of powering up to eight speakers. This integrated approach eliminates the need for additional amplifier space at the dash, helping manufacturers and installers create more space-efficient marine audio systems.
The receiver is also designed to support different listening environments through its dual-zone functionality.
Independent Dual-Zone Audio Control
With dual-zone control, users can independently adjust volume and equalization settings across two areas of the vessel. This allows different parts of the boat to have customized audio settings without affecting the listening experience in another zone.
The system also provides independent subwoofer level control, allowing users to adjust bass output separately from the rest of the audio system.
Multiple Control Options
The PMX-6BB provides additional flexibility through support for up to three PMX-1R remotes and a PMX-8DH TFT display head.
This allows audio controls to be positioned at different locations throughout a vessel, providing users with more convenient access whether they are at the helm, entertaining elsewhere on the boat, or using another onboard listening area.
Built for Demanding Marine Environments
Marine electronics must withstand exposure to challenging environmental conditions, and the PMX-6BB features Rockford Fosgate’s Element Ready™ design.
The receiver is engineered to withstand water, vibration, and UV exposure, supporting reliable operation in demanding marine environments.

Compact Technology for Connected Marine Audio
The PMX-6BB reflects the growing demand for marine electronics that combine performance with streamlined integration. By placing amplification and audio management into a compact hidden receiver while connecting directly with a vessel’s existing display infrastructure, the system is designed to reduce installation complexity without compromising control.
With its combination of NMEA 2000 connectivity, integrated amplification, dual-zone functionality, flexible control options, and marine-ready construction, the PMX-6BB provides a space-efficient approach to modern onboard audio.
