Hertz Audio – The Embodiment Of Italian Electronic Acumen
In physics Hertz may just be a unit of frequency, the number of cycles per second as it were. In the realm of car audio however, the name Hertz is synonymous with quality that delivers. From the brand’s name through to the characteristics of its products; everything about Hertz reflects upon its performance oriented dogma though quality design. The enthusiasm for music vibrates within the Hertz team and lies at the heart of everything the company; hitherto Hertz has built an outstanding team of talented and passionate engineers who are committed to designing products at the top level of audio performance.

HMX Range – The Amalgamation Of Articulation And Kinetics.
For the consummate marine enthusiast who desires not only superb control but also volume aplenty! The HMX range offers the ultimate balance between precise aural reproduction and forceful kinetic output. Hertz has combined superb quality element proof materials with advanced no holds barred design architecture, to provide audiophile level parameters in conjunction with serious sound pressure output levels. The HMX range are the ultimate drivers for those who want the absolute best of both worlds when on the water!

Design Ideologies
The high quality speakers within Hertz’s HMX range are designed to meet the high-stress requirements found on the open waters. On-board sound systems are subjected to severe environmental effects including saltwater, rain, direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations. All components in the HMX range are therefore put through stringent tests under the most extreme conditions to check their resistance to these elements. This results in an unmatched and long-term durable sound experience bringing your music perfectly on the water.

Enjoyment Aplenty
The HMX 6.5 high performance marine coaxial speakers, available in the black option and with various grille types; is optimised to perform in an infinite baffle arrangement. This allows them to return a solid bass and an outstanding output. The tweeter feature an acoustic lens optimized for best off-axis dispersion and maximised sound pressure. The attractive stainless steel tweeter mesh grille provides perfect high-frequency transfer and a rock-solid protection. The UV resistant polypropylene cone co-molded with Santoprene rubber surround together with the basket and grille injected with a Hi-temperature and UV resistant polymer neutralize water, dust and mud. The aramid fiber spider with silicone-insulated lead wires ensures durability and constant performance over time. The high-excursion mobile equipment is driven by a massive magnetic group, to deliver high undistorted sound pressure.

Design Features
The rich heritage of this astute and masterful designer, together with its ever-increasing technical acumen; is conducive to these components featuring a vast array of impressive design ideologies incorporating the latest technological advancements. Some of these include:
– Engineered and tested for the real environment of application. Versus elements like UV, salt-fog, vibrations, water spray, thermal shock and dust.
– 1.4″ Neodymium magnet tweeter featuring a PEI material dome combined with faceplate and acoustic lens optimized for best off-axis dispersion and highest SPL.
– Sound-transparent stainless steel tweeter mesh grille providing efficient high-frequency transfer, attractive look and a rock-solid protection.
– Long-throw 1.26″ / 32 mm voice coil woofer fine-tuned for infinite baffle application featuring polypropylene cone injected with UV inhibitors and co-molded Santoprene surround.
– Aramid fiber spider with silicone-insulated lead wires ensuring durability and constant performance over time.
– FEM optimized high-excursion mobile equipment driven by a massive magnetic group encapsulated into a marine-grade polymer injected basket.
– Sealed built-in crossover with resettable solid-state tweeter protection circuit.
– Gold-plated corrosion resistant terminals.

Options Aplenty And Nightmarish Model Codes
Like so many marine ranges these components are available in various colours and style configurations; conducive to creating part numbers from hell. We’ve tried to make some sense of it below; please specify when ordering if you require a different variant to the primary title above.
– HMX 8 – white outer grille. Silver mesh centre insert.
– HMX 8 C – charcoal outer grille. Silver mesh centre insert.
– HMX 8 LD – white outer grille. LED backlit. Silver mesh centre insert.
– HMX 8 LD C – charcoal outer grille. LED backlit. Silver mesh centre insert.
– HMX 8 TW – White outer grille. White mesh centre insert.
– HMX 8 TC – charcoal outer grille. Black mesh centre insert.
– HMX 8 S LD SW – white sports grille, LED backlit. Silver mesh centre insert.
– HMX 8 S LD G – grey sports grille, LED backlit. Charcoal mesh centre insert.

The code letters stand for:
– W = white in colour.
– C = charcoal (i.e. black) in colour.
– G = grey in colour. This is a base colour for custom painting.
– TW = total white (includes centre mesh portion).
– TC = total charcoal (includes centre mesh portion).
– S = sports grille.
