Garmin VHF Active Speaker, VHF 210/215/315, Requires GHS 11, IPX7

Overview

The Garmin 010-12769-00 is an active VHF station speaker that adds a remote audio point for onboard communication when used inline with a GHS 11 wired handset. It mounts in the helm, cockpit, or flybridge and delivers 2.5 W nominal (4 W max) audio output in a compact 11.1 x 11.1 x 3.8 cm housing rated IPX7.

Installation is set up as a station run: the speaker connects back to an open STATION port on the radio through an extension cable, and the handset plugs into the speaker’s connector. Plan the layout so the handset connection point is within 1.2 m of where you want to mount the connector, and keep the speaker at least 50 cm from a magnetic compass.

This is a good fit for boats where the VHF radio body is mounted out of the way or below decks and you still want call audio where you drive, dock, or work lines.

Key features

• Works inline with a GHS 11 wired VHF handset to add a remote communication speaker station.
• Connects to an open STATION port on the VHF radio using an extension cable run from the radio to the speaker location.
• IPX7 water rating for incidental immersion up to 1 m for up to 30 minutes.
• Audio output power: 2.5 W nominal, 4 W max.
• Compact footprint: 11.1 x 11.1 x 3.8 cm; weight 349 g.
• Compass-safe distance: mount at least 50 cm from a magnetic compass.
• Operating temperature range: -15°C to 70°C; storage range: -20°C to 70°C.

Installation and setup

The speaker is flush-mounted using the cutout template, then sealed against the panel with the mounting gasket and secured with the included M4 screws. A snap-on cover finishes the face and keeps the fasteners protected.

The handset connector can be mounted in a separate surface using the supplied mounting plate. Marine sealant is optional around fasteners and the connector opening for extra sealing in exposed locations.

Route an extension cable from the radio to the speaker location and connect it to an open STATION port, then connect the extension cable to the short lead from the speaker. Route the speaker’s longer lead to the handset connector location and connect the GHS 11 handset.

Compatibility and fit

Compatible with Garmin VHF 210, VHF 210 AIS, VHF 215, VHF 215 AIS, and VHF 315 marine radios. A GHS 11 wired VHF handset is required, and an extension cable is required to reach from the radio to the speaker location.

On-board use

Mount it where you need call audio most, such as at the main helm, a flybridge station, the cockpit during docking, or a nav station below. It helps when engine noise, wind, or distance from the radio makes the main unit hard to hear.

Many products sold by Apollo Lighting include a manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials or workmanship. Warranty terms vary by brand, product category, and model, so eligibility, coverage duration, exclusions, and available remedies are determined by the applicable manufacturer. We recommend reviewing the warranty information provided with your product before installation or use, especially for marine electronics, navigation equipment, lighting, electrical systems, pumps, safety equipment, and other specialized marine products.

If you need warranty service, the claim must follow the process established by the manufacturer, authorized service center, or designated warranty provider. You may be asked for proof of purchase, a serial number, product registration, photos, maintenance or installation records, or other documentation. Apollo Lighting does not determine or modify a manufacturer's warranty coverage or final claim decision, but we are happy to help provide purchase information and direct you to the appropriate manufacturer or warranty resource.

Keep your receipt, product documentation, serial number information, and original packaging when practical. Damage caused by normal wear, misuse, improper installation, insufficient maintenance, corrosion, impact, unauthorized modifications, electrical issues, or operation outside the manufacturer's specifications may not be covered. Warranty claims are separate from standard returns, so a product that has been installed, used, or exposed to marine conditions may no longer qualify for return while still remaining eligible for evaluation under the manufacturer's applicable warranty.
