CEDIA 2018

A major update to Lenbrook Industries’ BluOS wireless-multiroom technology is adding new streaming services, customized voice control through Alexa-equipped devices, and more control options through custom-installed smart-home systems.

Yamaha wants to make sure it’s part of your custom-installed multiroom-audio or home-control system, so it came to the CEDIA Expo with its latest installation-friendly products, including a four-zone MusicCast streaming amplifier and a flagship AV preamp that incorporates proprietary artificial intelligence (both pictured in the rack above). In a surprising twist, the company also demo'd a wireless-multiroom turntable.

Focal today launched the Kanta speaker series with the unveiling of three models that join the Kanta N2 floorstander introduced last year.

Sound United brands Denon and Marantz are coming to the CEDIA Expo to update premium audio components in the highest reaches of their lines and launch the industry’s first audio components certified under the new Imax Enhanced content and hardware certification program.

Two new IP-controlled subwoofers and a high-end passive soundbar are just a few of the many products Klipsch will showcase under the “One Stop Shop” banner when CEDIA Expo 2018 exhibits open tomorrow.

Trinnov, the Paris-based maker of high performance AV gear, today announced the establishment of a U.S. subsidiary to manage the company’s expanding presence in the states and provide factory direct support for its products.
