Hertz CAPRI HBB Marine Source Unit (CAPRIHBB)
The Hertz CAPRI HBB is a compact marine source unit designed to provide advanced audio control without adding a display to the helm. With four independent audio zones, 24-bit/96 kHz DSP processing, high-resolution Bluetooth streaming, and flexible connectivity, it gives boat owners extensive control over their onboard audio system while keeping the installation clean and streamlined.
Four-Zone Audio Control:
The CAPRI HBB is designed for vessels with multiple listening areas, providing independent control for up to four audio zones. Each zone has dedicated stereo and subwoofer outputs, along with individual tuning options for precise control throughout the boat.
• 4 independent audio zones
• Dedicated stereo outputs per zone
• Dedicated subwoofer outputs per zone
• Zone-specific audio control
• High-pass and low-pass filtering per zone
• Designed for multi-area marine audio systems
High-Resolution DSP Processing:
A native 24-bit/96 kHz DSP engine provides high-resolution audio processing with an extended audio band up to 40 kHz. Each zone includes an 8-band digital equalizer and Hertz-engineered preset profiles for flexible sound tuning.
• 24-bit/96 kHz DSP processing
• High-resolution audio playback
• Audio bandwidth up to 40 kHz
• 8-band digital EQ per zone
• 8 preset tuning profiles
• Zone-specific sound customization
Bluetooth and Digital Connectivity:
The CAPRI HBB supports Bluetooth 5.1 streaming with LDAC, AAC, and aptX HD compatibility for high-quality wireless playback. USB, AM/FM RDS, DAB+, S/PDIF, and A2B connectivity provide additional options for building a flexible marine audio system.
• Bluetooth 5.1
• LDAC, AAC, and aptX HD support
• USB input
• AM/FM RDS tuner
• DAB+ ready
• S/PDIF digital inputs and outputs
• A2B digital bus
• SiriusXM Ready
Hidden Source Unit Design:
Without a built-in display, the CAPRI HBB is designed to stay hidden while control is handled through compatible remotes, a mobile app, or NMEA 2000 integration. This keeps the helm and dashboard cleaner while maintaining access to the system's audio controls.
• Compact black box design
• No built-in display
• Compatible remote control operation
• Mobile app control
• NMEA 2000 integration
• Supports up to four zones depending on configuration
Marine-Grade Construction:
The CAPRI HBB is built for demanding marine environments with IP66 front panel protection along with UV and salt fog resistance. Its marine-focused construction helps protect the source unit from the conditions commonly encountered on the water.
• IP66 marine protection
• UV resistance
• Salt fog resistance
• Designed for harsh marine environments
• Built for onboard marine audio systems
System Monitoring and Integration:
Additional connectivity and monitoring features provide more flexibility when building a complete marine audio system. Camera input support and battery voltage monitoring add useful system-management functionality.
• RCA line outputs
• Dedicated subwoofer outputs per zone
• Selectable subwoofer crossover settings
• AUX inputs
• Camera input
• Battery voltage gauge
• HMC HD1 remote compatibility
• HMC U1 remote compatibility
