By the level of news in this newsletter, I’m guessing you know we’re back from a trade show. CEDIA Expo 2022, to be exact. If you’re interested in learning more about what we saw and liked, check out my Steph Says series with a piece on each day of the show. Gary also wrote a piece about his favorite demo on the show floor. Finally, Lee Distad writes a cautionary tale in which he reminds you to always check your equipment.

Also, if you’re interested in seeing all our favorite products, some conversations from the show floor, LIVE UNSCRIPTED sessions and more, you’ll want to check out rePLAY CEDIA Expo. It’s not too late to register! It will be today from 1-3 p.m. EDT and the same time tomorrow (with even MORE product videos to show you guys. We had over 550 to pick from!) See you there!

+ Steph Says: CEDIA Expo 2022 Day 3 Thoughts [Steph Beckett]

I promised you I’d be back to talk about Day Three of CEDIA Expo 2022! As expected, Saturday was a little bit slower than Thursday or Friday were, but that’s always to be expected with a show that goes until the weekend. The great thing about this was that I got to spend a little more time on the show floor and talk a little more with manufacturers or otherwise wouldn’t have the time to speak with me.

+ BEST Demo at CEDIA Expo 2022: A Collab Between Trinnov, McIntosh, Sonus Faber, Kaleidescape and madVR [Gary Kayye]

I’ve been attending CEDIA Expo for 20+ years. In case you don’t know what it is, CEDIA Expo is the industry’s premier high-end residential AV show — filled with stuff to make your home smarter, build the ultimate home cinema or tech that makes nesting a home better. No, this isn’t CES — the Consumer Electronics Show. It’s not a digital signage show nor is it a show filled with Amazon Alexa-enabled gear. CEDIA Expo is truly high-end HomeAV.

 

+ When Testing Goes Wrong [Lee Distad]

I decided to sell an old subwoofer online. I will admit that when I first listed it, I only ran a cursory test on it: I plugged it into my AVR and ran a test tone through it. Satisfied, I boxed it up again. And, as the saying goes, now we wait.
