Garmin M-DRC-50 JL Audio Digital Preset Controller, For JLid Port, IP66 Front, 18 ft Control Cable

Overview

The Garmin 010-13551-00 is the JL Audio M-DRC-50 digital preset controller for JLid-compatible JL Audio marine audio electronics. It gives you push-button access to stored DSP presets, with a built-in RGB indicator that shows the selected preset by color. It mounts through a single hole, fits panels up to 3/4 in (19 mm) thick, and includes an 18 ft (5.5 m) control cable.

Installed at the helm or anywhere you want quick access, it connects to the JLid port on compatible equipment and draws power through that connection, so there is no separate power wiring to run. The front face is IP66-rated when properly installed, which helps in wet cockpit conditions and during routine washdowns.

Installation and setup

Plan the mounting spot where you can reach it easily underway, and where the back of the panel has clearance for the body of the controller and cable bend. A clean, properly sealed install matters in a marine dash, especially on open boats where spray and washdowns are common.

Route the control cable back to the amplifier or hub location and connect it to the JLid port on compatible equipment. Once presets are set up in your JL Audio system, the controller simply recalls them on demand, which is handy when you want quick changes without opening access panels or apps.

Compatibility and fit

This controller is for systems that use JLid and support stored DSP presets on compatible JL Audio electronics. It is a wired controller, so it is best suited to installs where an 18 ft (5.5 m) cable run from the mounting panel to the equipment bay makes sense.

Use cases on board

It’s a good match for boats that already run JL Audio MVi gear and want fast access to preset changes from the helm, a cabin bulkhead, or an entertainment zone. It also fits installs where you want a simple, tactile control that stays usable with wet hands and underway vibrations.

Maintenance and care

Rinse the front face with fresh water after salt exposure and wipe it down with a soft cloth. If you ever remove it, inspect the seal area and reinstall carefully so the front-face water protection is maintained.
