HARMAN International Industries, the premier connected technologies company for automotive, consumer and enterprise markets, have announced a new partnership with Barletta Boats. Harman Kardon Marine sound systems will be standard on the brand-new 2023 Barletta Reserve, a next-generation luxury pontoon boat.

"We've seen great success in our previous partnerships with boatbuilders, and we're delighted to keep that trend going by putting our systems on the 2023 Reserve," said Jeffery Fay, VP & GM Global Aftermarket, and Special Markets OEM at HARMAN. "Barletta makes world-class, top-of-the-line pontoons, which provide the perfect vehicle for our preeminent technology to complement the on the water experience."

The Harman sound system on the 2023 Reserve will include 10 6.5-inch speakers and 2 10-inch subwoofers, driven by 2,800 Watts RMS of power. The system will also use the latest in fully digital audio with Harman's first-in-industry A2B Audio Bus technology, capable of handling better then CD quality audio which allows the audio signal to stay in a digital format until it reaches the amplification section of the system to drive the speakers. This eliminates potential degradation of sound due to environmental factors or noise from other boat systems.

The 2023 Reserve is the latest in Barletta's flagship line of high-end pontoon boats. Its premier features include a telescoping convertible hardtop, a 360-view camera system to assist with docking and watersports, and two luxurious layouts to choose from.
