Hertz HCP 2 Amplifier 2 channels - high power minimal size

HCP 2 is a 400W stereo amplifier, designed to expand or modify the standard system with extreme simplicity: equipped with preamplified inputs (Pre-In) and high level inputs (Speaker-In) it allows interfacing with any head unit. All amplifiers in the Hertz Compact Power line are assembled with high quality components and equipped with a complete and removable crossover system. The heat dissipation system is optimized by transferring all heat to the heat sink and from there to the side surfaces that dissipate it. With HCP 2 it is possible to create high power systems: it can be configured both in mono, to drive the subwoofer, or in combination with another amplifier, for more complex systems; moreover it is equipped with a Bass Boost filter (0 ÷ 12 dB) to enhance the low frequencies.

HCP: THE TECHNOLOGY
The HCP heat sink is made of extruded aluminum, an unbeatable material for lightness, strength and heat dissipation capacity.


To reduce dimensions, the power transistors are arranged between the PCB and the top of the chassis that collects heat, from there it is transferred to the side surfaces, equipped with fins, to be dissipated.
The Front End section, equipped with a complete and removable crossover system to allow connection with processors, preamplified outputs with crossover on HCP 1D and multiple adjustments, offers the user infinite possibilities for system connections, for any configuration and with any source.

The inputs, the pride of the Hertz R&D area, are available both on RCA connectors for preamplified connection (Pre-In) with aftermarket head units, and on high-level connections (Speaker-In) for connection with the source integrated in the vehicle. The Pre-In and Speaker-In inputs are equipped with special balanced circuitry that guarantees high rejection of electromagnetic interference typical of the car environment, ensuring acoustic results free of noise. The Speaker-In inputs are also equipped with the ART function, Automatic Remote Turn-On/Off, which turns the amplifier on and off depending on the operation of the source, eliminating the need for a remote power signal, generally missing on standard audio systems.

The ART circuit, refined by the Hertz staff for some time, guarantees power-on without delays and avoids annoying noises at shutdown, moreover the function is manually disableable through a switch on the control panel: in those cases where the standard source has long shutdown delays or the amplifier restart is controlled by accessory activities such as door opening, you can disable the ART function and use the remote input via a manual command, avoiding excessive battery consumption.
The crossover section of Hertz Compact Power amplifiers allows extreme flexibility in creating any audio system configuration: Bass Boost to enhance low frequencies; Lo-pass, Hi-Pass, Subsonic, Phase and Full Range to create complex audio systems; adjustable with slope at 12 dB/Oct. and 24 dB/Oct. according to the model.

On board the HCP electronics, a power supply stage with multi-strand transformer and Low-ESR 105°C capacitors, works at high efficiency guaranteeing the energy needed for the Class D output stage (in HCP 1D, HCP 4D and HCP 5D) and Class AB (in HCP 2 and HCP 4), to make them stable at 2 Ω load and ensure maximum power delivery.

HCP 2 Features

  • Compact design, made with an extruded aluminum heat sink, whose upper side effectively transfers the heat generated by the power electronic components.
  • Special balanced input circuitry for high rejection of electromagnetic interference, in the Pre-In or Speaker-In inputs.
  • Speaker-In inputs (for standard head units) and RCA-In inputs (for Aftermarket head units).
  • ART, Automatic Remote Turn-On/Off, automatically turns the amplifier on and off when the standard head unit turns on and off (activatable/deactivatable, only with Speaker-In).
  • Power supply with multi-strand transformer, Low-ESR 105°C capacitors, AB-Class output stage stable at 2 Ω.
  • Pre-out outputs, also available with Speaker-In level inputs.
  • Mono operating mode (selectable) to drive a subwoofer or, in combination with a second amplifier, to create a powerful dual-mono system.
  • Bass Boost (50 Hz) adjustable to 12 dB, for deeper bass.
  • Crossover filters at 12 dB Lo-Pass (from 50 Hz to 500 Hz) and Hi-Pass (80 Hz). The fixed frequency Hi-Pass filter allows optimal coupling with a subwoofer amplifier.
  • Full range power outputs selectable
