Highlights include a Dolby Atmos theater setup, more than 100 private listening rooms, live music performances, and a marketplace with new and vintage vinyl and audio gear.

Sony plans to highlight a number products in its ES series, including speakers and the new STR-DN1080 AV receiver, as well as its flagship HT-ST5000 soundbar, MDR-1000X noise canceling headphones, PS-HX500 turntable, and products from its hi-res Signature Series, including the MDR-Z1R headphones and NW-WM1A and NW-WM1Z Walkman digital audio players.

Sony will also demonstrate its VPL-VW675ES 4K home theater projector, 4K/HDR-enabled XBR-Z9D TV, UBP-X800 Ultra HD Blu-ray player, and RSX-GS9 Hi-Res AV receiver.

Attendees will also be able to visit Sony’s Hi-Res Magic Bus, which will be the site of a live performance by Blue Coast Records artist Fiona Joy on June 3. Joy will perform her new album Into the Mist.
