Klipsch Partners with West Marine Pro to Offer Premium Audio Solutions

ELKHART, IN. –  Klipsch, the legendary American audio brand, announces an exclusive partnership with West Marine Pro, the wholesale division of leading retailer West Marine. This strategic collaboration enables professional marine installers and upfitters to offer Klipsch’s marine-rated speakers and subwoofers, bringing an unmatched audio experience to boaters across the country.

Klipsch Adventure products are designed to withstand the harsh outdoor environment without compromising performance. The principles that have made Klipsch a world-renowned audio innovator—high efficiency, low distortion, controlled directivity, and flat frequency response—allow boaters to enjoy absolute clarity without interference from engines, winds, and waves.

“At West Marine, we are passionate about boating and providing the best audio experience for boaters. We are committed to offering the products boaters want and need and are pleased to make Klipsch available to them,” says BLANK from West Marine Pro. “The sound is so clear that you feel like you’re at a live concert. You really must experience it for yourself.”

Since launching into the marine market, Klipsch has been exclusive to its OEM partners and unavailable for retail purchase by boaters. By joining forces with West Marine Pro, a trusted partner to professional marine audio installers, Klipsch can now provide a premium option for music lovers regardless of which boat brand they own.

“For years, we have received requests from Klipsch fans to make our marine audio system available directly to boaters,” remarks Rachel West, Marketing Director for

Klipsch Adventure. “They hear the system on someone’s boat, and they want to rock Klipsch on their boat, too. We are thrilled to direct them to West Marine Pro for professional installation so they can take the Klipsch experience they love from their home to the water.”

West Marine Pro will offer exclusive on-water audio demos with world champion wake surfer Jett Lambert at the International Boatbuilders’ Exhibition & Conference (IBEX) in Tampa, Florida, on October 1-2, 2024, aboard a 2025 MasterCraft XXXX wake surf boat. You must register in advance to attend.

With over 184 locations in the United States and more than 310 company-owned stores,

West Marine is the largest specialty retailer of boating supplies and accessories. West

Marine Pro is exclusive to installers and wholesalers. New offerings will be available in the coming weeks at westmarine.com.
