Slated for August 1–3 at the Sheraton Hotel in Raleigh’s city center, this year’s event will again offer a unique opportunity for the public to experience over 60 rooms of stereo and home theater setups, including more than a dozen immersive audio systems. And while gear is the draw, the event also packs industry-led panel sessions, live musical performances, and plenty of face-to-face time with the minds behind the brands.
The exhibitor list includes a broad mix of heavyweights and specialist favorites—Sony, JVC, Epson, Samsung, McIntosh, Sonus faber, Bowers & Wilkins, Marantz, JBL Synthesis, SVS, KEF, Klipsch, Kaleidescape—and many more. Qobuz returns as the show’s official streaming sponsor, bringing high-res music to every room.
"Whether you’re just starting out or ready to upgrade, you won’t find any other consumer event with this caliber of home entertainment products, and this level of expertise and excitement, all in one location," said Scott Newnam, CEO of Audio Advice.
"Audio Advice Live 2024 was an electrifying celebration of music and sound," added Johnny Williams, Vice President & General Manager, Harman Consumer Audio. "It was an honor to join top audio brands and passionate fans in such a fun, high-energy atmosphere—truly a premier event for anyone who loves great audio."
Alongside product demos and hands-on tech experiences, attendees will have access to Deep Dive Sessions with brand reps and engineers throughout the weekend. Friday night’s lineup includes a special keynote address from Audio Advice’s Scott Newnam and a full concert at Raleigh’s historic Lincoln Theater, headlined by high-energy 12-piece band Sleepy Booty.
