Hertz Capri Hi-End Marine Audio Source With USB Bluetooth

Capri by Hertz is the gold standard in marine audio sources, built to deliver audiophile-grade sound while withstanding the harsh realities of life at sea. From sunlit cockpit days to foggy night cruises, Capri maintains pristine clarity, deep reach, and dynamic detail across four independent listening zones. It’s more than a receiver—it’s the heartbeat of your onboard sound system.

Why Capri stands out

• Four independent zones with four dedicated line outputs and four subwoofer outs, so every area on deck can have its own precisely tuned soundscape without compromise.
• Hi-res audio you can feel with native DSP at 24 bit/96 kHz and an extended high-frequency band up to 40 kHz, ensuring every note, detail, and nuance remains true-to-life.
• Professional-grade tuning includes an 8-band digital equalizer per zone and 8 factory presets crafted by Hertz engineers to cover everything from bass-rich day cruises to intimate, quiet nights on the water.
• Rugged marine reliability with an IP67 front panel to resist water, dust, and spray, plus a front-panel that stays legible in bright sunlight and can be dimmed for night-time navigation.
• Integrated connectivity including NMEA2000 for easy marine-system integration, Bluetooth 5.1, USB 2.0, and S/PDIF in/out (24 bit/96 kHz) for pristine digital audio paths and flexible source options.
• Practical marine features such as a battery voltage gauge, a 4.3” full-color TFT IPS display for quick at-glance information, and a dedicated camera input for added situational awareness on deck.

What you get with Capri

• Peak 4 x 70 W at 4 Ω (Class-D) to drive multiple speakers across large or complex boat layouts without compromising dynamics.
• Multi-zone mastery 4-zone capability with individual high-pass filter options (HPF) at 60/80/100 Hz and dedicated subwoofers for each zone.
• Versatile inputs and outputs USB 2.0, AUX (RCA), S/PDIF (In Toslink and Out Coaxial) for flexible source swapping and digital-audio fidelity.
• Display and control a 4.3" color TFT IPS screen that remains legible in bright sun and is easily dimmed at night, paired with a tactile control surface for quick, on-the-fly adjustments.

Ideal use cases

Capri is perfect for boats that demand concert-quality sound across multiple zones—helm, cockpit, bow lounge, and cabin—without cross-talk. Use it to:

• Deliver different playlists in each zone for crew vs. guests during long cruises
• Play high-resolution music files via USB while streaming Spotify or Bluetooth in another zone
• Integrate audio with navigation and camera feeds for safer, smarter operations on the water
• Provide crisp imaging of music at 24-bit/96 kHz for demanding audiophiles on board

How Capri elevates your boating audio experience

Capri is not just a receiver; it’s a crafted audio experience designed for the marine environment. The combination of four independent zones, hi-res DSP, and robust inputs/outputs means you can tailor sound to every corner of the boat, ensuring speakers perform at their best regardless of seating position or ambient noise. The inclusion of NMEA2000 connectivity makes it straightforward to harmonize your audio with other onboard systems, turning your boat into a seamlessly synchronized entertainment and information hub.

Practical setup tips

• Use 24-bit/96 kHz files for true hi-res playback and adjust each zone with the 8-band EQ to match speaker placement and ambient conditions.
• Set HPF to 60–100 Hz for each zone to reduce sub-bass masking in tighter cabin spaces while preserving clarity in the mids and highs.
• Take advantage of the 4 independent sub outputs to create a tight, room-filling bass in the cockpit while keeping the helm clear for navigation cues.
• Leverage the camera input for added situational awareness on deck during docking or coastal cruising.
