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.

Dolby Labs today announced a new technology that will make it easy for owners of Atmos-enabled TVs to create a heightened audio experience by “seamlessly pairing” one or more wireless speakers to the set’s onboard sound system without having to worry where the speakers are located.

Kaleidescape today introduced a line of high-performance, high-capacity movie servers built to support super-fast downloads.

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.

The CEDIA Expo 2023 that ended Saturday in Denver was a bustling showcase of the latest and greatest in smart home and AV home entertainment technology. Booth tours are a staple of any trade show, providing an overview of a company’s product lineup with highlights of its newest gear. Here we go behind the scenes with MartinLogan, Origin Acoustics, OSD Audio, and Sanus.

Good speakers are the cornerstone of any music or home theater system and they were plentiful at last week’s CEDIA Expo 2023 in Denver. But instead of traditional freestanding speakers, the focus was on speakers designed for mounting in or on the wall, indoors and outdoors, with a few notable exceptions. Check out our booth visits with JL Audio, DALI, PSB, and the king of lifestyle speakers, Bang & Olufsen.
