(September 12, 2025) AV NIRVANA is excited to introduce its inaugural CEDIA Awards, created to celebrate the best experiences, gear, and innovations that this year’s show had to offer. For years, we have covered CEDIA with exclusive reporting, independent experience reviews, and interviews that shed light on the incredible people, ideas, and technologies driving the home theater and AV world. For 2025, we are taking that commitment one step further by recognizing products and demonstrations that stand out as truly memorable.
While we know the show is filled with great gear from wall to wall, our goal is to highlight select experiences and solutions that left a mark, the kinds of moments that made us stop, listen, and remember why we love this industry.
For this, the first year, we kept it simple with three key categories: Best of Show, Spotlight, and Innovation. The Best of Show Awards went to six new standout products we encountered on the show floor. Spotlight Awards honor exceptional demo rooms and experiences, and the Innovation Awards recognize groundbreaking solution platforms that will shape the future of home AV tech or impact user experiences. The latter two did not receive a physical award at the show, but each recipient will receive an e-badge to use as they see fit.
Our Best of Show program is designed to be small, focused, and based on first-hand experiences. We arrived at CEDIA with six physical trophies and limited consideration to products we could experience directly during scheduled half-hour demos (with a few before/after-hours sessions). Awards were given as we discovered products that stood out. Naturally, some worthy solutions fell outside our path, and by the time we reached others, the six trophies were already awarded. Within that framework, we identified products that impressed us the most, while fully acknowledging that many other excellent innovations were also present. To help us include your product in future coverage, please reach out so we can arrange a dedicated time (contact information is at the bottom of this article).
With that, let us dive into the awards, where we detail winners from each category.
Best of Show: Ascendo Immersive Audio HALO 10 PRO Loudspeaker
Few products turned heads at CEDIA 2025 like Ascendo’s new HALO 10 PRO Active EXT Cardioid speaker. With its sculpted, futuristic form, HALO looks more like a piece of modern art than a conventional loudspeaker. I heard talk on the floor comparing it to everything from a flower to an alien artifact, even a pastry riddled with drivers. With its glossy, carbon-fiber flecked appearance inspired by the appeal of a high-end sports car, HALO was a visual knockout before a sound had even been played.
Luckily for Ascendo, performance matched its appearance. HALO’s circular symmetry conceals a serious three-way system built for audio warfare: a 10" coaxial midrange and 3" compression driver flanked by six 8" woofers working in a cardioid array. That engineering pushes low-frequency energy forward while suppressing rear radiation, keeping bass tight, articulate, and room-friendly. Capable of delivering 136 decibels at one meter with bass extension to 55Hz, HALO's not just eye candy; it's a powerhouse. During demos in Sound Room 7, the speaker delivered scale, control, and realism that were nothing short of breathtaking. That blend of design, forward-thinking engineering, and sonic authority made HALO an obvious choice for Best of Show.
Best of Show: AudioControl Hyperion APR-16 Pre/Pro and RCV-11 AVR
It's exciting to see a fresh chapter from AudioControl, and that's exactly what we're getting: FRESH. Under AVPro’s guidance, Hyperion represents an entirely new direction built from the ground up. The line includes multiple processors and amplifiers, but this award zeroes in on the APR-16 processor and RCV-11 AVR, the latter of which offers eleven channels of onboard amplification. Both models were teased at CEDIA 2024, but during an unreleased interview, it became apparent that development and refinements were needed. I'd say it was worth the wait. If real-world performance matches the promise of specs, home theater fans are in for something special.
What sets Hyperion apart is its immediate integration of Dirac’s most advanced suite of technologies, including Active Room Treatment (ART), Room Correction, and Bass Control. ART, in particular, tackles one of the biggest challenges in home theater by using every speaker as part of a system-wide solution to reduce resonance and manage decay, producing tighter bass and improved clarity across all seats. Combined with Dirac’s room correction and bass control, Hyperion is positioned to deliver performance levels once reserved for elite processing gear. And yes, AVPro says that ART will be onboard and active at launch (Q4 2025).
Layered on top of Dirac's acoustic intelligence is cutting-edge tech mixed and matched across all three processor and AVR models: GaN amplification, 48Gbps HDMI processing, Dante functionality, built-in network switching, cloud-based firmware updates, and pro-grade HDMI management with EDID and HDCP control. The list goes on, making this a very exciting lot of gear.
Best of Show: Grimani Systems MP-84 In-Ceiling
No speaker at CEDIA 2025 packed as much surprise into such a small footprint as Grimani Systems’ new MP-84 MiniPort. Built around a rigid aluminum cabinet, this two-way ceiling speaker cleverly places its tweeter in the center of its bass port, maximizing efficiency and output without compromising design. The result is a discreet architectural solution capable of delivering 106 dB SPL and full-range 40Hz–20kHz performance from an in-ceiling form factor.
In person, the MP-84 sounded wonderful, open, dynamic, and far more authoritative than its unobtrusive footprint suggests. For a ceiling speaker, it brimmed with output, and its design choices made it as fascinating to look at as it was to listen to. Yes, it carries a premium price tag, but this is very much a “you get what you pay for” product: reference-level performance in an architectural form that blends into any room.
Arriving at CEDIA just in time to coincide with Anthony Grimani’s Lifetime Achievement Award, the MP-84 is more than just another release. It's a statement piece that reflects decades of experience and innovation.
Best of Show: madVR Labs New Envy Lineup
madVR Labs is on a roll. Just weeks after unveiling its inventive Dynamic Subtitle Overlay (DSO) feature at Audio Advice Live, the company arrived at CEDIA with a refreshed and expanded Envy lineup that flexes serious muscle. The new Envy Core MK2, Pro MK3, and Extreme MK3 processors introduce full 48Gbps HDMI 2.1 input and output, Variable Refresh Rate up to 360Hz, and the kind of low-latency gaming performance enthusiasts have been demanding. Pair that with DSO, which intelligently relocates and adapts subtitles so they no longer distract from the image, and 2025 looks to be a landmark year for madVR.
What makes this company so compelling is not just the technology, but its internal organizational energy. The team is buzzing with creativity, and the addition of industry veteran Jason Dustal only adds more depth to their bench, reinforcing madVR’s white-glove appeal for integrators and enthusiasts willing to invest in reference-level video processing. From AI motion interpolation to geometry correction, multilingual menus, and the world’s first AI-driven deinterlacing, the Envy platform continues to push the edge of what is possible in home theater.
Best of Show: Quantum Media Systems XDR4-8K Extreme LED Wall
Year after year, Ken Hoffman and his team at Quantum Media Systems arrive at CEDIA with large-format microLED walls that ignite dreams, and, quite literally, set eyeballs ablaze with dazzling picture quality. This year was no different. The company introduced the XDR4-8K Extreme LED Wall, the first residential 8K video wall to earn DCI certification. Quantum had previously achieved DCI listing with a 4K wall, but the leap to native 8K compliance set an entirely new benchmark, giving homeowners access to the exact resolution, color accuracy, and frame rates demanded by Hollywood studios at their highest standard.
The big news was not just certification, though. Quantum unveiled an industry-first 0.7mm pixel pitch, enabling native 8K resolution at closer seating distances without visible pixelation. Combined with full P3 color coverage, HDMI 2.1, 120Hz refresh rate, and jaw-dropping brightness, the wall delivers uncompromised image fidelity. Performance factors like low latency, which have already caught the eye of the gaming industry, only expand its appeal. And thanks to Quantum’s turnkey White Glove Service, covering everything from design consultation to on-site calibration, integrators can confidently deliver the company's world-class video walls without the usual pitfalls of fine-pitch LED.
With reference-level performance, bulletproof installation services, and visuals that simply redefine home theater expectations, Quantum Media Systems once again proved itself a force to be reckoned with at CEDIA 2025.
Best of Show: Trinnov Audio AltitudeCI
Unlike previous years, Trinnov didn't anchor itself with a large demo room at CEDIA 2025. Instead, the company focused on training and information sessions in the lower hall, using that part of the facility to introduce the brand-new AltitudeCI processor alongside a redesigned user interface. Both announcements were met with enthusiasm, underscoring Trinnov’s commitment to keeping the Altitude ecosystem fresh and deeply relevant for custom integrators.
The AltitudeCI represents a new chapter for Trinnov, a fully networked Audio over IP processor that scales from eight channels up to 32, with a 64-channel edition on the horizon. It's the first of its kind to offer dual native support for Dante and AES67, enabling seamless integration across professional and consumer infrastructures. That means direct connectivity to Dolby Atmos and DCI servers while outputting over Dante, all without converters. For integrators, this is a powerful level of flexibility, amplified by the ability to remotely activate additional channel counts for customers expanding their AV footprint.
True to Trinnov’s pedigree, the AltitudeCI arrives fully loaded with Optimizer, WaveForming, and Remapping, delivering the company’s trademark precision in acoustic alignment and low-frequency control. Compact at just 2RU, with eight onboard analog outputs and robust networking options, the AltitudeCI strikes a balance between raw power and installer-friendly design.
The Spotlight Awards are designed to recognize the best demo experiences at the show. As far as traditional theater rooms go, two stood out as neck-and-neck winners, each exceptional for very different reasons. We also have a third Sound Room that delivered a unique experience in and of itself, utilizing a remarkably innovative approach, making it worthy of an award for both its presentational attack and future-facing technology.
In addition to those, we selected a few other non-theater room demos because, frankly, each was excellent in its own right. You'll find it's an eclectic group, but each one left a memorable impression.
Keep in mind that CEDIA attendees experienced these systems in a range of sound rooms and demo spaces with acoustic environments that, technically speaking, are far from ideal. Also, seating positions within these rooms are critical to the experience. If you attended a demo but didn't have the opportunity to snag a prime center seat, your impressions of our favorite experiences may have been quite different than ours.
Before diving into the award winners, I'd like to acknowledge several systems that, while not officially receiving awards, absolutely deserve recognition for their outstanding presentations.
Sound Room 6: PMC, StormAudio, madVR, Barco Residential, MC² Audio
Deus Audio Machines, Seymour-Screen Excellence, Kordz
Back in 2015, CEDIA attendees were treated to a legendary demo room featuring PMC's QB1-XBD-A high-resolution active monitors in partnership with Auro 3D. Configured in a full 11.1 Auro setup, that system delivered such scale and precision that it remains an unforgettable experience seared into my audio memory banks. For me, it set a benchmark for what immersive sound could be, both in terms of power and emotional impact. It also caused me to fall in love with PMC’s sonic signature.
Fast forward to CEDIA 2025, and PMC once again proved why they belong at the top of the conversation. Their system in Sound Room 6 was stellar, marked by impeccable clarity, commanding low end, and a sense of realism that pulled listeners deep into the presentation. Partnering with StormAudio for processing, MC² Audio amplification, and Deus Audio Machines for infra-bass, the room showcased a blend of refined loudspeaker engineering and sheer visceral energy. Deus Audio Machines, in particular, deserves recognition. Their massive 60" infrasonic subwoofer provided seismic weight that was tactile and physical. For a company making its debut at CEDIA, it was a remarkable entrance, leaving little doubt that big things lie ahead.
Visuals were anchored by Barco's Heimdall+ CS RGB-laser projector, painting a gorgeous Seymour-Screen system. Seymour's presence across multiple locations on the floor was impressive – each showcasing the company's versatility and uncompromising quality.
Sound Room 10: Alcons Audio, Trinnov, Christie Digital, madVR
DreamScreen, Poes Acoustics, Atlanta Home Theater
Sound Room 6's level of intensity set the stage for neighboring rooms. Just a few doors down, Alcons Audio reminded us why their name is synonymous with uncompromising quality. The audio in Sound Room 10 was dynamic and refined. Backed by decades of professional audio expertise, Tom Back and his team clearly have great things cooking. Hearing their system in 2025 was a reminder of just how effortlessly Alcons' pro audio DNA translates to the home environment.
Excellent, excellent stuff.
Sound Room 11: Lumagen, Seymour-Screen Excellence, Digital Projection, NextLevel Acoustics
Trinnov, SPEAKERPOWER, Valencia Home Theater Seating[/SIZE]
Next door, in Sound Room 11, a Lumagen-sponsored room provided a very different experience. At $174,000, it was the most affordable theater on the row, yet it proved that exceptional performance doesn't require astronomical budgets. The demo highlighted NextLevel’s Cinema Pro, run in tandem with a Seymour non-AT screen, showing off the speaker's wide dispersion capabilities. The audio presentation leaned into high-output excitement, while Lumagen’s legendary processing paired seamlessly with Digital Projection’s new 10000i RGB laser projector, delivering visuals that were bright, vibrant, and undeniably cinematic.
Sound Room 12: Krix, Trinnov, MC² Audio, Epson, Seymour-Screen Excellence, Kaleidescape
Last but certainly not least, Krix deserves recognition for a killer demo experience and their first appearance in the United States. The system in Sound Room 12 delivered audio that was smooth, balanced, and confident, with a low end that was deep and controlled. Tonality and cohesiveness of sound were spot on, making the room a memorable one. Krix also showcased prototype subwoofers that left a lasting impression, adding authority to an already refined soundscape. Beyond performance, the Krix team brought an enthusiasm and authenticity that matched the quality of their products.
Krix's arrival on North American shores is exciting, and AV NIRVANA plans to fully cover its presence as we move into the future. We see great things for them as regional customers are exposed to the Krix sound.
Spotlight Award: Klipsch Courtyard Landscape Speaker System
Of all the products recognized this year, Klipsch’s new Courtyard Landscape Speaker System might be the most affordable and, for me, the most surprising. It ships as a 4.1 package with four horn-loaded satellites and a low-profile 10" subwoofer, and can be run by an AV receiver or streaming amp. And sound quality... wow... lively, detailed, and extremely competent. It's the kind of presentation I could happily listen to in the friendly confines of my own yard.
The system is designed to be flexible. The subwoofer can be partially buried to blend into landscaping, and while they're meant to be staked in the ground, creative customers can mount the satellites on a wall or a deck post to tailor coverage for patios, decks, or poolside areas. Klipsch doesn't currently offer mounting accessories, but this may change in the future.
Finished in matte brown and rated IPX7, the Courtyard system is built to handle rain, sun, and snow.
At $1,799.99 for the base system, Klipsch delivers an outdoor-ready package that strikes a balance between performance, durability, and price. You can even expand with two additional satellites if you need a wider footprint.
Spotlight Award: Perlisten S7t Black Edition
Perlisten’s off-site demo loft turned out to be one of the more memorable listening sessions of CEDIA 2025. The company set up its flagship S7t Black Edition loudspeaker paired with not one but two D8is subwoofers, and the results were nothing short of phenomenal. Imaging was precise and enveloping, with vocals that sounded deliciously natural, blooming effortlessly within an expansive sound field. Of course, the system’s low end had tremendous authority and impact, anchoring the presentation while never overshadowing its refined character.
It was a delight to experience.
Perlisten does so many things right. The company publishes stringent specifications and measurements for its speakers, a practice that aligns with the efforts of CEDIA’s Recommended Practices Committee. That level of transparency builds confidence and underscores the company's commitment to engineering integrity. The S7t Black Edition, with its aluminum side panels, patented DPC Array, and enhanced woofers crafted from Textreme carbon fiber, exemplifies this pursuit of acoustic perfection.
In addition to the performance, the fit and finish of these speakers is stunning. At over 240 pounds each, the S7t Black Edition feels as much like a sculpture as it does an audio machine. From top to bottom, we expect nothing less from a brand that's established itself as an audio legend.
Spotlight Award: L-Acoustics
L-Acoustics’ HYRISS solution was one of the most compelling technologies showcased at CEDIA 2025. Last year the company's theater demo room was my personal favorite of the show, and that experience carried through so strongly that I made a trip to their Highgate showroom in North London to hear HYRISS in its native environment. You can read my impressions of that visit here.
HYRISS, which stands for Hyperreal Immersive Sound Space, draws on L-Acoustics’ decades of professional audio expertise. The speakers are designed on principles rooted in the company's pro audio heritage, giving them high output and serious dynamic range. Combined with its proprietary L-ISA processing and real-time acoustic adaptation, HYRISS can literally reshape how sound is deployed within a room. It can rotate sound fields, shift perspective from side to side, and even add lifelike reverberation to simulate entirely different environments. The result is a platform that blends uncompromising loudspeaker design with forward-looking processing to create a truly unique in-room experience.
At CEDIA 2025, the HYRISS demo was scaled down compared to what I heard in London, yet it was still enticing. The system showed off excellent balance, dynamic impact, and a unique flavor of immersion that set it apart from every other demo at the show. For its innovation and execution, not to mention a wickedly rebellious cool factor, HYRISS fully deserves a Spotlight Award.
Spotlight Award: JBL Synthesis Sound Room
JBL's Synthesis demo room housed within a joint Samsung and HARMAN Luxury Audio exhibit space was one of two favorite "traditional" theater experiences at CEDIA 2025. Configured as a full 11.4.8 cinema anchored by an SDP-80 immersive processor and SMA Series amps, this room was glorious, causing me to exit the experience smiling ear to ear. The evenness and control of the presentation were phenomenal, with dynamics that hit with authority and precision.
And the bass? It was tight and powerful – I could literally feel the hairs on my head moving as movie clips raged on the screen.
I was told JBL took lessons from years past and spent extra time fine-tuning the system. That diligence paid off. From start to finish, the room struck me as near perfect, delivering a seamless soundstage, balanced tonality, and a sense of cinematic scale in the truest sense.
The choice of demo clips highlighted everything JBL does well, from bone-rattling bass to richly textured dialogue and a surround envelopment that felt limitless. It was a showcase that placed JBL Synthesis equipment on a pedestal, demonstrating just how refined and powerful a properly designed system can be. For performance, calibration, and sheer enjoyment, the JBL Synthesis demo is more than deserving of a Spotlight Award.
Spotlight Award: Sound Room 7
Sound Room 7 is our other top demo room of the show, standing toe-to-toe with JBL but for very different reasons. Every detail of this room was carefully executed, from Simplified Acoustics' treatments to Moovia's luxury Marabella seating, and the result was a home theater demo for the ages.
The visual experience was anchored by Christie's new Eclipse G3 projector and a wicked-cool retractable Seymour-Screen that flexed - get this - built-in retractable masking. It's the closest I have ever seen a projector come to true blacks, setting the stage for a visual presentation that was cinematic in every sense.
On the audio side, a 14.18.10 array was anchored by Ascendo's HALO speakers configured as LCRs. And, of course, that ".18" means serious bass was on hand, thanks to stacks of 18" subwoofers in all four corners PLUS some 2,000-pounds of infrasonic subwoofers (dual 64-inchers). Let's just say the bass foundation was seismic – honestly, it's amazing the entire convention center didn't collapse into a pile of rubble.
Orchestrating playback was StormAudio’s ISP Elite MK3 processor, which brought, among other things, Dirac’s Active Room Treatment to the party. The processor held the reins with precision, allowing the system to stretch its legs while maintaining clarity and control. Supporting roles from partners like Panamorph and madVR Labs rounded out the system, ensuring picture and sound were treated with equal respect.
The result was a demo that delivered scale, finesse, and raw power in ways that are rarely achieved, especially in the imperfect acoustic conditions of a CEDIA sound room. This was one of those rare presentations where sound and picture came together so perfectly that the experience transcended the technology behind it. Sound Room 7 was truly exceptional and fully deserving of a Spotlight Award.
Spotlight Award: Theory Audio Design
Year after year, Theory Audio Design (and sister brand Pro Audio Technology) delivers some of the most mind-blowing audio experiences of the show, and 2025 was no exception. Paul Hales and gang took over HPA Room 202 showcasing a wide range of products, from its compact ic5 in-ceiling loudspeaker and landscape-friendly bollards to killer sub modules, all driven by Theory’s DLC loudspeaker controllers with Dante and AES67 support. On paper, it may look like a grab bag of architectural and custom-install solutions, but in practice, it's pure high-level audio that's reference across the board.
What makes Theory so compelling is the philosophy behind the design. Hales isn't chasing elaborate room correction schemes or leaning heavily on DSP to fix problems. Instead, the speakers are engineered with a purity of design that prioritizes performance from the start, with just enough processing to perfect the end result. The outcome is sound that's detailed, powerful, and enveloping – the kind of presentation that seems to wash through the room effortlessly, even when the source components are disguised to blend into an environment.
The kicker is that Theory Audio’s solutions remain highly affordable relative to the competition. For integrators, that means reference-grade audio without pushing into the stratospheric budgets often associated with high-end systems. For me, these demos have become a highlight of the show, and this year, once again, confirmed why Theory and Pro should be on everyone’s radar. The combination of design, execution, and value makes them more than deserving of a Spotlight Award. Do yourself a favor, look them up on the net and let your eyes feast... these brands are doing it right.
Our Innovation Awards are meant to recognize technologies and platforms that improve the user experience. Each recipient represents a forward-thinking approach to how home theater and media systems can evolve, whether through smarter integration, breakthrough performance, or entirely new ways of experiencing content.
Innovation Award: Apex Cinema Hub
One of the most exciting innovations on display at CEDIA 2025 was the Apex Cinema Hub, a compact hardware and software solution designed to unify control of high-end cinema systems. Developed in collaboration with Control Envy, Apex's in-house power management solution, the Cinema Hub takes a brand-agnostic approach, streamlining the control of projectors, processors, lighting, content sources, and more into a single, intuitive interface.
The solution's hardware form factor is remarkably small, not much bigger than the palm of your hand, yet it delivers capabilities that typically require bulky processors and complex coding.
The strength of the Cinema Hub lies in its web-based platform, which is powered by an HTML5 architecture. That means setup is as simple as point-and-click configuration, accessible from smartphones, tablets, AVA remotes, or Crestron panels. Integrators can reduce installation time, minimize costly service calls, and remotely monitor system health in real-time. For the homeowner, the experience is pure simplicity: powering up an entire theater system in seconds, with a user interface that looks effortless to navigate.
Perhaps the most forward-looking feature is native DCI content management, a capability once exclusive to commercial cinemas. The Hub can display title metadata, track playback timelines, resume content from the exact point it left off, and showcase cover art for new releases, all inside the home. Paired with seamless integration of reference-grade AV components like Barco projectors, Quantum Media Systems LED walls, StormAudio processors, Kaleidescape players, and Lutron lighting, the Cinema Hub elevates luxury cinema to a new level.
Innovation Award: Just Video Walls Visual Source Management System
Just Video Walls arrived at CEDIA 2025 with plenty of excitement, including the debut of their new Visual Source Management System. This feature is designed to solve a long-standing challenge: how to seamlessly manage multiple video sources on a large-format MicroLED wall, especially when working outside of traditional 16:9 layouts. Until now, the solutions available to integrators and homeowners have often felt clunky or incomplete. JVW’s new approach is the first true "What You See Is What You Get" interface for source management, allowing owners to see exactly what is active on their wall and what is waiting in the wings.
The interface is point-and-click intuitive. Owners can select sources, decide how they're arranged across a screen, change aspect ratios, and even choose which source provides audio. In practice, this means you could have a large custom wall with a movie filling part of the canvas while sports feeds are positioned below it, all managed with a few simple touches.
For end users, it makes for a much smoother and more enjoyable way of interacting with their system – I can totally see its functionality being a hit during sports watch parties. For integrators, it eliminates pain points that often hinder post-installation support. It's a simple idea executed with real polish, and exactly the kind of forward-thinking solution that deserves an Innovation Award.
Innovation Award: Kaleidescape kAI
kAI is an AI-powered discovery tool built into the web version of Kaleidescape's Movie Store, allowing customers to use natural language prompts to instantly discover content. Instead of scrolling through lists or filtering on screen menus, you can type something like “Show me popular movies that are 90 to 100 minutes long, fast-paced action, and funny” and immediately see tailored results, complete with descriptions, cover art, and indicators showing whether you already own the title.
That simple but powerful approach has real end-user impact.
What makes KAI even more significant is how it builds on Kaleidescape’s reputation as the ultimate movie platform. Already known for its onscreen cover art shuffle and flawless lossless playback with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, Kaleidescape now gives customers a discovery tool that feels as premium as the playback itself. It is innovation that marries convenience with luxury, transforming the end-user experience from simple playback into a smarter, more engaging journey.
Awesome stuff.
Innovation Award: Trinnov WebUI
Trinnov's Altitude platform has always been exceptional, but its web user interface has shown its age in recent years. That is about to change, as Trinnov has completely rebuilt the interface from the ground up, resulting in a modernized, intuitive control environment that matches the sophistication of its hardware. At a media event, members of the press were given a first look at the new UI, and from what was shown, Trinnov has nailed both presentation and functionality.
A highlight is a new step-by-step Easy Wizard setup mode that guides owners through calibration tasks like speaker configuration and WaveForming, lowering the barrier to entry for novice users. For advanced users, access to fine-tuning controls remains, making Trinnov easier to live with while keeping its exceptional control capabilities front and center.
This software update is available at no additional cost to existing Altitude owners, which isn't a surprise. Look for it to roll out with new Altitude16 and Altitude32 units by the end of 2025; availability for existing customers will begin in 2026.
That's a Wrap on CEDIA 2025
As we conclude these inaugural CEDIA Awards, we applaud every winner for delivering moments of brilliance and innovation that stood out on a show floor overflowing with world-class technology. From jaw-dropping demo rooms to forward-looking platforms, the breadth of what CEDIA 2025 had to offer was truly remarkable. These awards highlight only a slice of the greatness on display, and if this year’s show is any indication, the future of home theater is brighter and more exciting than ever.
