New Gear: Prospec Audiophile-Level Quality on board

Prospec Speakers

Apr 8, 2021

Unlike cars and homes, boats can be difficult spaces in which to create a quality listening environment—unless Infinity by Harman Kappa 6-1/2″ coaxial marine speakers from Prospec Electronics are included. They deliver audiophile-level quality sound and integrated RGB lighting to keep the party going all night long.

Kappa 6-1/2″ speakers feature Infinity by Harman’s Plus One™ polypropylene woofer and midrange cones, and a Mylar dome tweeter set in a one-piece cast-polymer basket with a sealed magnet. The tweeter is angled upwards to better image the higher frequencies. They feature 100W RMS, 300W peak power and 3-ohm impedance to ensure distortion-free reproduction, even at high volumes.

Prospec SpeakersSeven bright RGB LEDs are integrated into the center and perimeter rings of the Kappa 6-1/2″ speakers for a spectacular lighting display. With an external controller, an almost unlimited number of colors are possible.

Engineered from the ground up for use on boats, Infinity by Harman Kappa 6-1/2″ speakers are UV- and water-resistant. With an outside diameter of 7-1/2″, they require a small 5-5/8″ cutout and 2-9/16″ mounting depth. They’re available from Prospec Electronics in white (KAPPA6120MAM) and titanium (KAPPA6125MAM) to match any marine décor and sell for approximately Cdn$440/pair.

To have the new owner, Helmuth Strobel and Anchor Yachts dealer Pancho Jimenez aboard made it even more special, as they can also speak to what they truly enjoy about the boat. We keep our own boat in a harbour that has a long waiting list for boats over 35 feet, so this little gem would definitely fit the bill and feels like a much bigger boat. True to the spirit of the 7th generation Oceanis line, the 34.1 is built in Poland and replaces the 35.1. It is 1,000 lbs lighter, 14 cm narrower and has 29% more sail area.
