Dual DSP Technology for Precision Sound Control

What separates the Hertz VENEZIA V8 DSPx² from traditional marine amplifiers? Its advanced dual-core DSP architecture. Equipped with two Analog Devices ADAU1467 processors, it provides real-time control over crossovers, equalization, time alignment, and multi-zone audio management.

This powerful processing platform allows every speaker in the system to perform at its best. With customizable filter types, extensive equalization options, and precise time alignment adjustments down to 0.01 milliseconds, listeners can experience balanced, immersive sound throughout the vessel.

EVOCA® Technology Enhances Every Listening Session

The Hertz VENEZIA V8 DSPx² incorporates EVOCA®, Hertz's proprietary loudspeaker optimization technology. By digitally modeling loudspeaker behavior in real time, EVOCA® improves bass control, enhances dynamics, reduces distortion, and minimizes mechanical stress on speakers.

Why settle for static tuning when your system can actively adapt? EVOCA® continuously optimizes performance, helping maintain clarity and consistency while protecting valuable audio components over time.

Hi-Res Audio Certified for Exceptional Detail

Certified for Hi-Res Audio playback, the Hertz VENEZIA V8 DSPx² processes audio at 24-bit / 96 kHz resolution with an extended frequency response from 10 Hz to 42 kHz. This high-resolution processing preserves subtle musical details, natural dynamics, and accurate spatial imaging.

Whether cruising offshore or relaxing at anchor, listeners can enjoy a refined listening experience that remains detailed and engaging even in challenging open-air environments.

Advanced A2B Digital Networking

The integrated A2B digital communication platform allows scalable audio system expansion with significantly reduced wiring complexity. Multiple compatible units can be connected through a single cable while maintaining synchronized DSP processing across all zones.

For luxury yachts and advanced multi-zone installations, the Hertz VENEZIA V8 DSPx² simplifies system design while delivering consistent audio performance throughout the vessel.

Flexible Multi-Zone Audio Management

Marine entertainment needs often vary from one area of the boat to another. The Hertz VENEZIA V8 DSPx² is designed to manage multiple listening zones with precision, allowing tailored audio performance throughout different onboard spaces.

Automatic trigger-based listening profiles further enhance convenience by adapting tuning characteristics for various onboard activities, including watersports, social gatherings, or relaxed cruising sessions.

Seamless Integration Across the Hertz Marine Ecosystem

The Hertz VENEZIA V8 DSPx² is designed to work seamlessly with CAPRI source units and the broader Hertz Marine ecosystem. This integrated approach creates a streamlined digital signal path from source to amplification, helping maintain audio quality across the entire system.

With 12 pre-input channels, coaxial S/PDIF digital input support, A2B digital connectivity, customizable control wires, and multiple analog and digital outputs, system designers gain extensive flexibility when configuring advanced marine audio systems.

Engineered for Marine Reliability

Marine environments demand more than raw performance. The Hertz VENEZIA V8 DSPx² features a rugged aluminum chassis and marine-grade construction designed to withstand exposure to UV radiation, vibration, thermal stress, and harsh saltwater conditions.

Dedicated epoxy-coated circuit boards help neutralize corrosion caused by moisture exposure, while extensive salt fog testing verifies resistance to marine atmospheric conditions. The amplifier is also IPX2 certified when mounted vertically with connections facing downward, providing additional protection against water exposure.

Every detail reflects Hertz's commitment to combining elegant Italian design with real-world marine durability.
