BT Controller provides ready command of Bluetooth devices

Prospec Electronics BT Controller

July 22, 2021

A Bluetooth-enabled phone or tablet is ideal for streaming music, but it’s often stowed safely away when on the water, road or trail. For ready access to the device’s controls when on a boat, golf car, motorcycle or UTV, it’s hard to beat the award-winning Infinity by Harman INF-BC4 Pre-Amp Bluetooth Controller from Prospec Electronics. It gives ready command to playback functions and has a compact footprint for use on virtually any dash.

The INF-BC4 Pre-Amp Bluetooth Controller is built for the outdoors. Waterproof to IPX6 standards, it has a central rotary encoder and large buttons for use with gloves and in rough, jarring conditions.

Using the INF-BC4 is easy and intuitive. Once it’s paired to the Bluetooth-enabled device, power and volume are operated with the rotary encoder. The three rubberized buttons provide control over play/pause, previous and next tracks.

Installation of the INF-BC4 is straightforward. It requires a small 1-3/8″ cutout hole. Flush mounted with no visible hardware, the panel is only 2-1/4″ L x 2-1/4″ W. The integrated 18″ wiring harness is equipped with output jacks, allowing connection to a required amplifier. In the U.S. the Infinity by Harman INF-BC4 Pre-Amp Bluetooth Controller from Prospec Electronics costs $119.95 USD.

By Andy Adams

Over the years Canadian Yachting has had the pleasure of doing several boat review articles on new Neptunus models and we are familiar with the qualities that Neptunus is famous for. They have all been exceptional yachts, but this is the one I would most want to own myself. It’s a personal choice and a matter of taste as to whether you would prefer to have a sedan express model or a flybridge but in my opinion, the flybridge layout offers some wonderful attributes.

We met with Neptunus Managing Director Jan Willem De Jong this past fall to take the new Neptunus 650F out in Lake Ontario.

The Other Virgin Islands

Sunset off St John

By Mark Stevens

I was first seduced by the United States Virgin Islands during a ferry ride from St. Thomas to Tortola to begin one of our earliest British Virgin Islands charters nearly twenty years ago.

A perfect sunset off St. John with St. Thomas views for backdrop.

Clearing Pillsbury Sound, surrounded by voluptuous emerald mountains as the ferry sliced through royal blue waters, I was struck by the unspoiled ambiance of St. John, the island gliding past our starboard beam and the irresistible charm of a village called Cruz Bay visible from our quarter stern.
