Rockford Fosgate PMX-1 Punch Marine Grade Media Receiver with 2.3" Dot Matrix Display
Rockford Fosgate PMX-1 Punch Marine Grade Media Receiver with 2.3 Inch Dot Matrix Display
A compact marine grade digital media receiver with a wet bonded 2.3 inch full dot matrix LCD display, 9H tempered glass screen, Bluetooth A2DP/AVRCP wireless streaming, AM/FM/WB tuner, AUX and USB inputs with USB charging, 7-band graphic EQ plus parametric EQ, and selectable high-pass, low-pass, and all-pass crossovers. IP6 marine grade front panel, ASTM B117 and D4329 tested, and compatible with the RF Connect iOS and Android app. Backed by a 2 year warranty.
Product Overview
The Rockford Fosgate PMX-1 is a Punch series marine grade digital media receiver purpose-built for demanding marine environments. The front panel carries an IP6 Marine Grade rating and has been tested to ASTM B117 (salt/fog) and ASTM D4329 (UV) standards, with full Element Ready protection against water, dust, UV radiation, temperature extremes, corrosion, and vibration throughout.
The 2.3 inch full dot matrix LCD display uses wet bonded 9H tempered glass optically bonded to the panel, optimising readability under all lighting and viewing conditions including direct sunlight. Bluetooth 3.0+EDR with A2DP 1.3 and AVRCP provides stable wireless audio streaming from smartphones and devices, with easy pairing, extended range, and glitch-free playback. The AM/FM/WB tuner covers 18 FM, 12 AM, and 6 WB presets across multi-region radio frequencies. USB 2.0 input supports MP3 and WMA playback with 1A device charging. An RCA pair AUX input provides a wired analogue audio source option.
Signal processing includes a 7-band graphic EQ with parametric EQ, independent subwoofer level control, and selectable high-pass, low-pass, and all-pass crossovers with selectable 12 or 24dB/octave slope. A voltage gauge with low voltage warning assists with vessel battery monitoring. The PMX-1 is compatible with the RF Connect iOS and Android app for native device control, and with the PMX-BTUR steering wheel remote accessory (sold separately). Maximum internal amplifier output is 25W x 4 at 4-ohm RMS (CEA-2006 rated) or 50W x 4 at 2-ohm maximum.
Features & Benefits
Wet Bonded 2.3 Inch Dot Matrix Display with 9H Tempered Glass: The full dot matrix LCD display is optically bonded behind 9H scratch-resistant tempered glass using a wet bonding process, eliminating the air gap that causes glare and condensation in standard marine displays and ensuring clear readability in all lighting and viewing conditions on the water.
Bluetooth A2DP/AVRCP - Stable Wireless Streaming: Bluetooth 3.0+EDR with A2DP 1.3 and AVRCP provides high-quality wireless audio streaming with better range, easier device pairing, and glitch-free playback compared to earlier Bluetooth versions.
AM/FM/WB Tuner with Multi-Region Frequencies: The built-in tuner covers AM (530-1710kHz), FM (87.9-107.9MHz), and Weather Band, with 18 FM, 12 AM, and 6 WB presets and multi-region frequency support for use across different markets and vessel locations.
7-Band Graphic EQ Plus Parametric EQ: The onboard 7-band graphic EQ and parametric EQ provide precise tonal control to compensate for the acoustic characteristics of different marine environments without requiring a separate signal processor.
Selectable Crossovers with Selectable Slope: High-pass, low-pass, and all-pass crossover modes are selectable on the PMX-1, with slope adjustable between 12dB/octave and 24dB/octave Butterworth, giving flexibility for a wide range of speaker and subwoofer system configurations.
IP6 Marine Grade Front Panel - ASTM Tested: The front panel carries an IP6 Marine Grade rating and has been tested to ASTM B117 (salt/fog) and ASTM D4329 (UV) standards, confirming resistance to the harshest marine environmental conditions.
RF Connect App Compatible: The PMX-1 is compatible with the Rockford Fosgate RF Connect app on iOS and Android for native source unit control from a smartphone, providing an intuitive interface for volume, source, EQ, and tuner adjustment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between wet bonded glass and a standard marine display?
A standard marine display has an air gap between the LCD panel and the outer glass, which creates glare from reflections and allows condensation to form inside the display in humid marine environments. Wet bonding eliminates this air gap by optically bonding the 9H tempered glass directly to the LCD panel with a clear adhesive, improving clarity, reducing glare, and preventing internal condensation for a significantly more readable display on the water.
Does the PMX-1 support SiriusXM satellite radio?
No. The PMX-1 does not include SiriusXM-ready connectivity. It covers AM, FM, and Weather Band tuning plus Bluetooth streaming, USB, and AUX input for audio sources.
What is the RF Connect app and does it require a separate connection?
RF Connect is the Rockford Fosgate smartphone application for iOS and Android that provides native control of the PMX-1 including volume, source, EQ, crossover, and tuner functions from a paired smartphone. It connects via Bluetooth - no additional hardware is required beyond the Bluetooth pairing used for audio streaming.
Can the PMX-1 power speakers directly without a separate amplifier?
Yes. The PMX-1 has a built-in amplifier rated at 25W x 4 at 4-ohm RMS (CEA-2006), which is sufficient to power marine speakers directly in smaller installations. For higher output applications, the PMX-1's RCA outputs (2V) can be used to connect an external marine amplifier such as the M5-800X4 for significantly more power and headroom.
Is the PMX-BTUR steering wheel remote included?
No. The PMX-BTUR steering wheel remote is sold separately and is listed as a compatible accessory. The PMX-1 does not include a remote control in the box.
