Hertz Marine announces release of award-winning Tower Speaker

by Hertz Marine 6 Aug 2024 16:30 PDT

Hertz Marine, the renowned Italian producer of marine-grade audio equipment, today announced the availability of the HTX 8H S-FL, their IBEX award-winning tower speaker.

These speakers feature Hertz's new, cutting-edge common motor compression driver technology, resulting in 30 percent lower weight and less speaker depth within the enclosure. While maintaining a more compact speaker for easier installation and aesthetic appeal, this new design brings performance advantages, such as a better low-end extension on bass frequencies.

In addition, the speakers have been engineered to offer a more comprehensive "sweet spot" for listening while engaged in water sports. You no longer need to sit in the perfect spot on the boat to enjoy your music. With 120 degrees of coverage and a range of more than 100 feet, your music remains loud and fully balanced across the entire frequency spectrum.

"Our team engineered several new technologies to offer a premium audio experience made for luxury surfing, wake, and ski boats," said Pietro Pantaleone, president of Elettromedia, the parent company of Hertz. "During partner tests, everyone immediately realized that our technology allows a more compact tower speaker to perform much better than the standard 10" tower speakers boaters expect. Simply put, the HTX is louder, more precise, and projects wider and farther than anything else on the market."

The result of these designs is clear, distortion-free audio that carries over long distances, allowing you to enjoy your favorite music with the highest clarity and fidelity.

Features of the HTX include:

  • Common Motor Driver Technology offers improved acoustical performances with a 30 percent reduction in size and weight.
  • Marine-grade durability features IP65 protection grade, ASTM-D4329 standards for UV resistance, and ASTM-B117 for salt fog operability.
  • Powerful sound levels with 400 W peak power and a stunning sensitivity of 98 dB SPL ensure the ultimate listening experience.
  • Crystal-Clear Audio is thanks to a FEM-optimized waveguide that offers a linear SPL response, ensuring full-range sound quality at 100 feet and beyond.
  • RGB-led lighting for a never-ending color wheel adds a new level of personalization and swagger to your setup.
  • Fine-tuned using a long-throw 51 mm (2") voice coil woofer sealed box applications.

Availability

Hertz Marine's HTX 8H S-FL (MSRP: $1000) is available for purchase online and through Hertz's dealer network.
