SEA-KING DELIVERS HD SIMPLICITY WITH INTRODUCTION OF 1800-HD AND 1500-HD ANTENNAS

Satellite Antenna Leader Unveils Out-of-Box HD Ready Solutions with Enhanced Design for Increased
Signal Strength, Broader Coverage and Reliable Performance in Rough Seas
King Controls, a leading manufacturer of mobile satellite antenna systems
for marine and terrestrial markets, announced today the Sea-King 1800-HD and 1500-HD marine
satellite TV antennas. A redesign of its previously existing full motion satellite domes, the new
Sea-King line offers cutting-edge advancements in antenna design with unmatched compatibility
including HDTV programming from DIRECTV® and DISH Network™. Fully HD-ready with no
additional accessories required, the 1800-HD and 1500-HD offer boaters increased signal
strength that ensures superior viewing capability over a broad coverage area, even in rough seas
or poor weather conditions. With the Sea-King 1800-HD and 1500-HD antennas, boaters can
enjoy greater satellite viewing options, enhanced performance and true HD simplicity, at an
unparalleled price.
King Controls’ new Sea-King 1800-HD and 1500-HD antennas employ an innovative design that
provides boaters with more efficient access to their favorite satellite TV programming.
Challenging the widely accepted, but dated, industry design, King Controls has replaced the
front-mounted low noise block (LNB) with a pioneering rear feed design. This new less cluttered
dish design optimizes signal strength resulting in a substantially larger geographic coverage
area. Additionally, the rear mounted LNB creates a lower center of gravity within the dome
promoting greater stability, smoother motor operation and extended product life. The durable and
robust domes also use ultra-quiet and quick servomotors allowing them to handle the demands
of the open seas with ease, making Sea-King antennas the fastest tracking models in their class.

There's no shortage of 35-foot express cruisers on the market. So why would Sea Ray take a perennial favorite - a model that just helped the company earn yet another National Marine Manufacturers Association Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) Award in its respective category - and replace it with a brand-new boat? Because being the best means getting better every year.
The Sundancer line helped create the "express cruiser" class some 30 years ago, and the fresh-faced 330 once again proves that Sea Ray is always pushing into new and rewarding territory. Note the four oversized hull windows, large deck hatch and two skylights, all of which contribute to enhanced interior visibility and ambient light. Look at the sexy plunging sheer line and contoured fiberglass sport spoiler. Also standard is an extended swim platform and aft-facing foldaway "deployable seat." That's a clever design. And there's still room for fenders and gear in the transom wall, as well as storage under every seat and in side panels.
