MasterCraft SoundStage Powered by Meridian Audio

MasterCraft SoundStage is more than a conventional boat sound system. It has been developed specifically around the acoustic challenges of life on the water, by working with Meridian, we create a bespoke audio experience for each boat.

Open-air environments, engine noise, wind, water and reflections can all affect sound quality. Meridian’s marine-specific research and acoustic engineering tuning help SoundStage maintain a balanced, high-fidelity listening experience from the helm and cockpit to the rider behind the boat.

Every system is carefully tuned for its individual MasterCraft model, helping deliver natural, detailed sound rather than simply increasing volume.

Immersive Sound On and Off the Boat

From relaxing in the cockpit to riding behind the boat, MasterCraft audio is designed to keep your music sounding powerful and detailed. Multiple audio zones, high-performance speakers and dedicated subwoofers help create an immersive experience, while tower speaker options extend your music to the water behind the boat.
