Automotive Partner

Defender

Co-Branded Partnerships

In Defender, Meridian audio is crafted to match its tough yet luxurious character - combining clarity and immersion with the durability to perform in any environment.

Our flagship collaborations put the Meridian name alongside some of the world’s most recognised brands. From the earliest design stages to the final tune, we work as one team to create audio systems that are integral to a product’s identity - combining luxury, precision, and performance in every detail.

Our collaboration with Jaguar Land Rover exemplifies this approach. Since 2011, we’ve worked side-by-side to enrich the driving experience - creating audio systems that complement each vehicle’s design and give every journey a distinctive sense of presence and emotion.

Meridian audio systems in the Defender celebrate the vehicle's unique design characteristics, using advanced acoustic technologies to deliver exceptional sound quality optimised for the Defender’s distinctive cabin.

The Defender is unlike any other. It manages to be tough and luxurious, and Meridian for Defender follows the same path - installing advanced acoustic technologies to deliver premium sound throughout its cabin.

Defender conquers challenging terrain while Meridian conquers challenging acoustics. Two British brands built to perform in any environment.

Meridian For Defender

It’s not just sound that complements the drive, it’s sound that becomes part of the vehicle’s identity.

Discover Behind the Sound

Our flagship collaborations put the Meridian name alongside the world’s most recognised brands, creating audio systems that are part of a product’s identity. In Defender, Meridian audio is crafted to match its tough yet luxurious character - combining clarity and immersion with the durability to perform in any environment.

Adventure-Ready Audio

The Defender's interior is unique: grab handles, storage spaces, door bins - all engineered for adventure. Meridian's engineers worked within these features to deliver exceptional sound quality, no matter how rough the road. Two systems are available: Meridian Surround Sound with 15 speakers and 700 watts, or Meridian Sound with 11 speakers and 400 watts.

Cabin Acoustics

The Defenders' tough luxury design principles require expert correction. Hard surfaces create significant sound reflections that need bespoke compensation. With Meridian's RE-Q technology, the sound system is tuned to the cabin environment, creating crystal clear sound whether you're cruising highways or climbing hills.

Integrated Engineering

Meridian worked closely with the Defender team to ensure the speakers and interior features sat together seamlessly. Practical elements such as grab handles and stowage create unparalleled convenience without ever impacting the audio experience.

As a leader of Pioneering British Audio and innovation, Meridian shares Defender's drive for quality, performance and dedication in order to recreate the most authentic and immersive audio possible.
