Hertz HMR-20 Marine Digital Media Receiver – 2-Zone, 3" Display, AM/FM, USB, Bluetooth (50 W x 4)

Hertz HMR-20 Marine Digital Media Receiver

Designed for the rigors of life on the water, the HMR-20 combines a compact 3-inch color display with flexible audio control. It supports AM/FM radio, USB playback, and Bluetooth streaming, making it a versatile hub for entertainment and information on deck, at the helm, or in the cabin.

Two-zone audio for flexible onboard listening

Two independent audio zones let you tailor sound to different areas of the boat. Play a radio show at the cockpit while guests enjoy a separate playlist in the cockpit or below deck. This setup supports shared moments without forcing everyone to hear the same track at the same volume.

Bright, easy-to-read display and intuitive controls

The compact 3-inch color display provides quick visibility in varying lighting conditions, helping you select stations, switch sources, or browse USB media without distraction. On busy days, the simple interface reduces the need to take attention away from boating tasks.

Connectivity and power tailored for marine use

AM/FM radio keeps you connected to stations inland and coastal, while USB playback offers a convenient source for your own music or podcasts. Bluetooth enables wireless streaming from smartphones or tablets, with a robust 50 W x 4 channel output for clear, on-water sound.

Compact installation with marine-ready specs

The HMR-20 is sized for tight dash spaces and shallow mounting, supporting straightforward installation on many boat dashboards. It also carries CEA conformance, aligning with common marine electronics standards for predictable compatibility.
