Hertz VENEZIA V8 DSPx² 8-Channel Class D Marine Amplifier with Integrated DSP, 2000W RMS Total (78213020)

The Hertz VENEZIA V8 DSPx² is a 8-channel full-range with integrated dsp marine amplifier engineered for demanding boat audio systems. Its Class D architecture and purpose-designed marine construction provide controlled power delivery to compatible loudspeakers, with performance dependent on the connected load and channel configuration. Integrated digital signal processing adds system calibration and routing options beyond a conventional amplifier.
