Hertz CAPRI HBB Marine Source Unit (CAPRIHBB)

Hertz CAPRI HBB Marine Source Unit (CAPRIHBB)

Built for serious marine audio control, the Hertz CAPRI HBB delivers high-resolution sound performance in a compact black box design made to stay hidden while doing all the heavy lifting. With flexible multi-zone control, advanced DSP processing, and wide connectivity options, this unit is designed for boats that need powerful audio without clutter.

System Snapshot

Designed without a built-in display, the Hertz CAPRI HBB focuses on streamlined control through remote interfaces, a mobile app, or NMEA 2000® integration. This approach keeps the helm clean while still giving full access to every function. It supports four independent audio zones, making it easy to manage different listening areas across a vessel.

High-Resolution Audio Performance

Inside the system, a native 24-bit/96 kHz DSP engine powers hi-res playback with an extended audio band up to 40 kHz. This ensures detailed, dynamic sound reproduction across all zones. An 8-band digital equalizer per zone, along with 8 preset tuning profiles created by Hertz engineers, allows fast and precise sound shaping.

Multi-Zone Control System

Four independent zones are managed with dedicated stereo outputs and subwoofer control. Each zone can be tuned separately using high-pass and low-pass filters, giving full control over how sound behaves in different areas. This setup allows fully customized audio across the entire vessel.

Connectivity Options

The Hertz CAPRI HBB features Bluetooth® 5.1 streaming with LDAC, AAC, and aptX HD support, which ensures high-quality wireless playback. USB input, AM/FM RDS tuner, and DAB+ readiness expand listening options. Digital integration is handled through S/PDIF inputs and outputs, plus an A2B® digital bus for advanced system connectivity.

Audio Inputs & Outputs

Each zone features RCA line outputs and dedicated subwoofer outputs with selectable crossover settings. AUX inputs and digital interfaces allow flexible system configuration. Camera input support and a battery voltage gauge help with system monitoring.

Marine-Grade Durability

Engineered for harsh marine environments, the Hertz CAPRI HBB features IP66 front panel protection along with UV and salt fog resistance standards. This ensures consistent performance in demanding conditions with constant exposure to water, sun, and salt.

Control & Remote Integration

System control is handled through compatible remotes such as HMC HD1 and HMC U1, supporting up to four zones depending on configuration. Optional accessories expand functionality, including NMEA 2000® volume control integration for seamless onboard operation.
