RetroSound Legacy Radio Names | Laguna, Hermosa & Long Beach
Looking for a Laguna, Hermosa, or Long Beach Radio?
These names were previously used for RetroSound radio configurations and may still appear on reseller websites, marketplace listings, older packaging, and archived content. RetroSound radios now use a simpler modular naming system based on the radio design and the Motor that provides its features.
Same Modular Idea. Clearer Product Naming.
Older RetroSound radios were often marketed under a single product name that combined a particular feature level with a radio face and trim configuration. That could make the name appear to describe the complete radio, even though RetroSound radios were modular.
Today, the appearance of the radio and its feature package are identified separately. Choose the radio style that fits your dash, then select the current RetroSound Motor with the features you want.
What the Older Names Referred To
Use these historical associations as a starting point when identifying an older RetroSound radio. Current Motors are updated products and should not be treated as exact one-to-one replacements for the discontinued versions.
Discontinued Legacy Name
Laguna
- Historically associated with
- Motor 1 / Motor 1A feature level
Laguna was used with RetroSound's entry-level feature package. If you are shopping for a current radio with a straightforward feature set, compare today's Motor 1B.
Discontinued Legacy Name
Hermosa
- Historically associated with
- Motor 2 / Motor 2A feature level
Hermosa identified a more feature-rich RetroSound configuration with Bluetooth, USB connectivity, pre-outs, and adjustable display color. For a current build, compare today's Motor 2B.
Discontinued Legacy Name
Long Beach
- Historically associated with
- Motor 4 feature level
Long Beach was used for RetroSound's highest feature level of its generation, including SiriusXM readiness, expanded USB connectivity, and a dedicated subwoofer output. For the current flagship platform, compare Motor 4HD.
Choose the Look. Then Choose the Features.
