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.

Throw away the box, this is some fresh thinking

Seemingly part sailboat and part spaceship, the new Jeanneau Yachts 55 just busted through the boundaries of traditional yacht design. I couldn’t take my eyes off the bubble hardtop that met me at the dock and I stepped aboard with trepidation. A few hours later, I was planning how to spend my not-yet-won lottery winnings.

Paving the Way to Cleaner Boating – How a Commitment to Reducing our Environmental Impact is Inspiring Cleaner Boating in Ontario

By Dave Rozycki

As we reflect on this rich history, we can begin to see trends in how our footprint may have had an effect on the environment, in not-so-positive ways. However, by embracing innovative solutions and adopting sustainable practices, both marinas and boaters hold the key to preserving and enhancing the quality of our lakes and marine life for generations to come.
