“We’re dedicated to providing the best experiences on the water
for our customers, and our partnership with Klipsch enables
MasterCraft to create an exclusive, first-ever audio experience on
the water that will truly blow people away,” said Terry McNew,
President and CEO of MasterCraft Boat Company. “We spend a lot of
time focused on customizing boats to our owners’ needs – from the
look and style of the boat to the wake behind it.
Digitally-controlled custom, concert-level sound is an incredibly
exciting new on-board entertainment option that we know people of
all ages will enjoy.”
For the first time, Klipsch Audio brings over 70 years of
expertise to the water to debut premium, custom engineered marine
audio systems exclusively for MasterCraft. Working with Klipsch
amplification systems, Klipsch speakers use less power while adding
more volume with minimal distortion - even at peak levels. Beyond
its sheer power (up to 120 dB), the new sound system is tuned for a
rich, accurate sound across a broad frequency range. It doesn’t
exaggerate any part of the music. The new Klipsch speakers are
marine-specific - from controlled directivity to being completely
water tight and protected from the elements.
“We are excited to bring the power, detail, and emotion of the
live music experience that only Klipsch speakers deliver to the
world of boating with our strategic partner Mastercraft. Klipsch
speakers have stood the test of time and we are thrilled to bring
this unparalleled audio experience to MasterCraft consumers,” said
Oscar Bernardo, Chief Operating Officer for Klipsch Group, Inc.
MasterCraft partnered with Bongiovi Acoustics to implement its
Digital Power Station™ (DSP) technology to customize the new
Klipsch-powered system specifically into MasterCraft’s boats. The
Bongiovi DSP contains a unique, patented digital audio signal
processor that adjusts real time to music to ensure concert level
sound - another first for the marine industry. The Bongiovi DSP
module is tunable, changing the sound of the system depending on
which software mode is selected by the driver. With three modes to
choose from - drive, tow and chill – drivers can have customized
sound to every MasterCraft boat while under operation.
MasterCraft’s new Klipsch Audio systems will remain an exclusive
to the company for a period of five years through an agreement with
ASA Electronics, a leading designer, manufacturer and distributor
of mobile electronic products.
Klipsch Audio systems will debut on new 2018 MasterCraft boats.
