Award recognizes the brand’s next-generation outdoor audio design for powersports and utility vehicles
-- KEMIMOTO today announced that its Midnight 70 Gen2 Soundbar has been named a Gold Winner in the 2026 MUSE Design Awards, in the category of Product Design – Music, Audio & Sound. The recognition highlights KEMIMOTO’s continued investment in rider-focused product innovation and reinforces the brand’s growing presence in the outdoor audio category.
Designed for UTV, ATV and golf cart users, the Midnight 70 Gen2 was developed to address the acoustic challenges of real outdoor riding environments, where wind, engine and road noise can interfere with the listening experience. On the MUSE Design Awards winner page, the product is described as an “Outdoor Sound Tuning Expert,” engineered to deliver clear, balanced and fatigue-free audio under noisy, real-world driving conditions.
The award-winning soundbar combines performance-oriented audio engineering with rugged construction and interactive lighting. According to the MUSE winner listing, Midnight 70 Gen2 features an 8-driver speaker system with 2 tweeters, 2 midranges, 2 woofers and 2 passive radiators, along with a 170W RMS Class D amplifier, 50 Hz low-frequency extension, and three preset EQ modes designed to adapt playback to different outdoor environments.
KEMIMOTO’s product page further notes that the Midnight 70 Gen2 delivers 680W max output through a true 2.1-channel system, and includes RGB lighting plus broadcast capability that can connect up to 100 soundbars for synchronized music and lighting effects. The product page also lists Bluetooth 5.4, USB, AUX, and 12V–60V compatibility, supporting flexible installation across a wide range of vehicles and use cases.
Built for demanding outdoor use, the Midnight 70 Gen2 is also described on the award page as having an integrated elongated body made from black aluminum alloy tubes and die-cast metal grilles, paired with IP66-rated water and dust protection. Those features are intended to help the product withstand mud, rain, vibration and other harsh riding conditions without compromising reliability or sound performance.
“This award is a strong affirmation of our team’s vision for outdoor audio,” said Norias, Brand Marketing at KEMIMOTO. “With Midnight 70 Gen2, we set out to create more than a powerful soundbar. We wanted to build a product that is acoustically tuned for the realities of off-road driving, durable enough for tough environments, and engaging enough to elevate every ride. Winning Gold at the 2026 MUSE Design Awards is an exciting milestone for our team and for the KEMIMOTO brand.”
The MUSE winner page also states that the product is FCC and ISED certified, incorporates multiple circuit protection mechanisms, and uses recyclable materials, reflecting a broader design approach that balances sound quality, durability, safety and sustainability.
The recognition marks another step forward for KEMIMOTO as it continues expanding its lineup of accessories and upgrade solutions for powersports and outdoor mobility users. With Midnight 70 Gen2, the company is bringing together design, engineering and rider experience in a product built for both utility and lifestyle-driven outdoor use.
