New Products

British hi-fi icon Bowers & Wilkins today announced a refined version of the Px7 S2 wireless noise-canceling headphones it introduced last year.

Platin Audio previewed a first-of-its-kind 10-channel soundbar system at last week’s CEDIA Expo 2023 that uses WiSA Discrete System (DS) technology to wirelessly connect a subwoofer and four height channels in a Dolby Atmos surround-sound setup.

CEDIA Expo 2023, North America’s largest showcase of smart home and AV entertainment technology, is underway at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver. With an estimated attendance north of 18,000, the expo is the place where custom integrators and professionals engaged in the home technology test drive the latest products and services from more than 350 brands spanning 150,000 square feet of exhibit space. Here’s a peek at some of the products AV-focused exhibitors are introducing at this year’s gathering. More show coverage can be found here.

Samsung today expanded its ultra-big-screen offerings with its first 98-inch 8K TV — a move timed to woo custom installers/integrators attending CEDIA Expo 2023, which opens tomorrow morning.

Epson today announced plans to cement its leadership position in the burgeoning ultra-short-throw (UST) projector category with a new laser-lit model it plans to ship in the fall.

The XGIMI Horizon Ultra ($1,699) is a bold new projector that aims to topple the Sony and JVC home theater hegemony with a device that costs a lot less than those offerings yet offers compelling image quality. It is also a milestone in long-throw projection technology because it is the first such projector to support Dolby Vision.

Samsung today announced the addition of an 85-inch screen size to its Terrace series of outdoor 4K TVs, a category the company sees growing in popularity as more people look to enjoy TV entertainment in the backyard.
