Immersive Audio, Anywhere On Board
Sound is more than something you hear—it’s something you feel. To create the ultimate on-water audio experience, we partnered with audio experts, Meridian, to master the complex acoustics of a towboat. The result? A directional, immersive sound system that makes every seat the best seat in the house—whether you're at the helm, in the cockpit, or behind the boat.
Powered by Meridian Audio
MasterCraft SoundStage is powered by Meridian Audio—an innovator in high-resolution sound and a brand known for redefining expectations in home, automotive, airline, and now marine audio. With over 45 years at the forefront of high-performance sound, Meridian is a pioneer in creating authentic, emotionally engaging listening experiences. MasterCraft SoundStage brings Meridian’s signature sound to the water—seamlessly tuned, purposefully designed, and engineered exclusively for MasterCraft. Developed in close collaboration, the system has been engineered to meet the unique acoustic challenges of the marine environment—delivering exceptional, purpose-built audio, finely tuned for life on the water.
The Future of On-Water Audio
And we didn’t stop there. This holistic approach to audio now extends across every 2026 MasterCraft—from the ProStar and NXT models to the XT and X Families. This is MasterCraft SoundStage by Meridian—a breakthrough in marine audio that transforms the way you experience music on the water.
Why MasterCraft SoundStage?
Engineered for the Water, Backed by Science
Developed in close collaboration with Meridian’s expert engineers and sound specialists, SoundStage is custom-tuned for each boat model to maximize clarity, directionality, and depth. Every speaker is carefully selected and precisely placed to optimize sound dispersion—enhancing the rider’s experience while preserving balance on board.
Immersive Sound for Every Moment
Whether surfing, cruising, or anchoring, SoundStage is optimized for every on-water adventure. Zone-specific tuning ensures the captain, crew, and rider all get the best possible experience, while optimized speaker placement for on-water acoustics is built to overcome environmental challenges like open air, wind, and water reflection.
A Legacy of Excellence, A Future of Innovation
Found across the ProStar, NXT, XT, X, and XStar Families—every 2026 MasterCraft is now equipped with SoundStage for premium, high-fidelity sound. This is a continuation of MasterCraft’s legacy of innovation, now extended to marine audio performance.
Powered by Meridian Audio
Merdian’s decades of experience and tuning expertise deliver sound that’s rich, clear, and emotionally engaging with deep bass, crystal-clear highs, and a refined balance that brings every playlist to life. SoundStage is built around Meridian’s core audio principles: authenticity, lifelike, and natural sound.
For those looking to take it up a notch, MasterCraft SoundStage offers upgrade options for even bigger, bolder sound.
- More Bass: Add subwoofers to your ProStar or NXT for deeper, richer sound (already included on XT, X, and XStar models).
- Tower Speakers: On NXT and XT models, choose two or four tower speakers to amplify your experience. With X models, you have the option of either two M80 tower speakers or SoundPods for bigger, bolder sound. And on the XStar, the exclusive XStar SoundPods deliver top-tier audio performance.
Enhance your X Family model with MAAX Audio. And if you're choosing the XStar, you’re all set—MAAX comes standard.
