Hertz VENEZIA V5C 24V 5-Channel Class D Compact Marine Amplifier

The Hertz Venezia V5C is a powerhouse of marine audio engineering, specifically designed for vessels operating on 24V electrical systems. As part of the prestigious Venezia series, the V5C utilizes advanced Class-D technology to provide high-current efficiency and extreme power while maintaining a surprisingly small footprint. This 5-channel configuration offers the ultimate "all-in-one" solution, capable of powering a sophisticated audio system consisting of four high-output speakers and a high-performance subwoofer from a single, streamlined unit.

Extreme Power for 24V Marine Architecture

Unlike standard automotive amplifiers, the Venezia V5C is natively built for 24V applications, common in larger yachts and commercial vessels. This architecture allows the amplifier to deliver 4 x 75W + 1 x 330W RMS (at 4Ω), or up to 4 x 115W + 1 x 550W RMS (at 2Ω). This massive power reserve ensures that your music remains undistorted and impactful, even when competing with the roar of twin engines and heavy sea spray.

IPX6 Certified & Marine-Tough

The marine environment is unforgiving, but the V5C is built to endure. It features an IPX6 water-protection rating, meaning it can withstand high-pressure water jets from any direction. The internal circuit boards are treated with a heavy-duty conformal coating to prevent corrosion from salt air and humidity. Furthermore, the chassis is constructed from high-quality aluminum with a specialized finish that resists UV radiation and chemical exposure, ensuring long-term reliability in open-air installations.

Audiophile Tuning & Integration

The V5C doesn't just offer raw power; it provides precision control. It features versatile built-in crossovers, including high-pass, low-pass, and band-pass filters, allowing you to tailor the output to the specific frequency response of your speakers and subwoofers. The balanced input circuitry is designed to reject electromagnetic interference, providing a noise-free signal even in complex marine electrical systems. With its compact "C" (Compact) design, it can be mounted in tight lockers or under consoles where space is at a premium.
