Embrace crystal clarity in every beat while taking in every detail from any genre of music in undistorted playback. With four different models to choose from that are IPX67 certified against the conditions, mounting hardware comes included for easy installation that make setup simple and fast.
Brian Sherman, Vice President of Product and Marketing, said, “We are extremely excited to push Nautic sound forward with this ALL-NEW line of Nautic compression horn/horn tower speakers from MB Quart. You are going to receive a smaller horn design for even smoother frequency response, interchangeable grills to match your boat install setup, and an incredible soundscape of immersion no matter how loud the conditions may get.

ABOUT THE NAUTIC COMPRESSION HORN/HORN TOWER SPEAKER LINE
Showcasing audio and design in a customizable appearance, each set of Nautic compression horn/horn tower speakers will include interchangeable grills (Black, Silver, White) allowing you to match your boat or audio system installation perfectly. The four models included in this ALL-NEW Nautic speaker line are the NH2-120, NH2-116, NHT2-120, and NHT2-116, as each speaker set projects audio that is loud so it can be heard from miles away. But just being loud on the open waters is not enough – every Nautic speaker model creates audio that is clean, sharp, and detailed, with sound displayed in crisp playback.
Superior sound meets unlimited durability when sailing and searching for that perfect sunset. Every Nautic compression horn/horn tower speaker is IPX67 certified as LIFE SHIELD promises protection against water, dust, and UV protection against sun fade. 1-inch Titanium dome tweeters bring a smooth musical response while a natural Butyl rubber surround remains sturdy in all weather conditions (including not stiffening in colder temperatures). Mounting hardware is included with each Nautic speaker – making installation is simple, a breeze, and most importantly – easy to do.

TWEETERS 1-inch Titanium dome tweeters offer a smooth musical response and high output with minimal required amplifier power.
SURROUND / CONE COUPLING Natural Butyl rubber surround remains musical in all weather conditions.

WTF… Where’s the Fun. On the next spin of the 12volt Spin-To-Win Wheel… on Friday, May 20th.
SEATTLE, WA (05.13.22) – The 2022 Pacific Northwest Mobile Electronics Expo, featuring Mobile Electronics, rolled Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, May 9th-11th, at the Doubletree by Hilton at South Center in Seattle, WA. Officially this was the ninth event which followed a two year hiatus due to COVID 19.
This image only shows a small portion of the active event show floor.
Mark Giovannetti, Pacific Rim Marketing, and Dan McMillan In Phase Marketing spearheaded the very well attended event. Valentina Giovannetti contributed greatly behind the scenes.
Mark Giovanetti related “During the event we received such positive comments from all industry segments on site. During the move out, which went smoothly, Dan and I received even more positive input. Many exhibitors asking about plans for 2023. Valentina Giovannetti polled all 35 exhibitors and the event was wrapping and all offered high marks.
The Monday evening kickoff event learned bike installation best practices.
This year the event kicked off with a special Monday evening launch event themed ‘Harley Davidson Audio Install Deconstruction’ presented by Sam Walker and Ryan Klein. Walker related “We had right at 40 in the room for our session. We had the Road Glide ‘deconstructed’ so we could go through each element of doing a motorcycle installation the right way. Attendees spent time checking out the bike and asking questions about various elements of the installation. Ryan answered a lot of questions about the sales process on the retail sales floor. Doing this in the future we will probably have a second session geared to the retail sales for and pricing installation labor.” Following the session the Road Glide, still deconstructed, was placed on the event floor for more visibility.
The Jensen booth connected users on their journey.
Tuesday and Wednesday’s action featured factory and industry training events. Trainings began at 9 AM in rooms off the show floor. The Expo Showroom opened at 10AM both days with over 35 vendors displaying their latest products.
On Thursday McMillan had lunch with area retailer Car Toys and the Compustar team. “Both of them said they were very pleased with the turnout and information that was disseminated. They indicated is was a win for vendors and retailers alike. The JL Audio Max training was a hit too. There was a total of 68 who attended their event.”
The Sound System Unlimited Ferrari Roma was very special at the IASCA event.
On Tuesday Travis Chin, from IASCA, was on site. Dealers and their customers cranked up their rides for a TEST THE BEST event outside with Travis judging the entries. A special attraction was System Unlimited’s Charles Maddy showing the beautiful work on a customer’s Ferrari Roma. The Doubletree provided a large outdoor space for this activity that gave attendees plenty of space to check out the sound systems.
The 12volt News staff made a number of social media posts from the event floor. @12voltnews on Instagram and Facebook. #pnwcee2022 to see a growing number of posts.
A huge 12volt Studios hats off to Mark Giovannetti-Pacific Rim Marketing and Dan McMillan-In Phase Marketing, for spearheading the PWNCEE event series. A huge thank you also to the vendors and retailers who invested their time and resources to grow the 12volt industry.
