AUDIO

Sound You Can Feel

SoundStage

At MasterCraft, we don’t just build boats—we engineer experiences. When designing the XStar, we obsessed over every detail, ensuring it exceeded expectations in style, performance, and, of course, audio.

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.

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. 

Upgrade Your Sound—Your Way

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.
