Were going back for more conversations from the show. Designer Resources Pacific Sales Kitchen and Home. Where excellence meets expertise. TimberTech – Real wood beauty without the upkeep CEDIA (Custom Electronic Design & Installation Association) is the global trade association for home technology professionals, specializing in smart home, automation, audio-visual, networking, and integrated systems. Its mission is to advance the home technology industry through education, certification, advocacy, and networking. Members include integrators, designers, manufacturers, and consultants who shape the connected environments we live and work in. CEDIA Expo is the industry's largest annual event for residential technology professionals. With hundreds of exhibitors, educational sessions, live demos, and global networking opportunities, it's where new ideas and innovations in smart home and AV integration take center stage. The Commercial Integrator Expo (CIX), co-located with CEDIA Expo, focuses on commercial integration technologies—from conferencing and IT infrastructure to building automation and emerging AV solutions—bringing together commercial integrators, IT pros, designers, and tech managers. Jason McGraw | Group VP and Show Director, CEDIA Expo / CIX Scope of the Show: McGraw details the scale of CEDIA Expo 2025, featuring over 350 exhibitors and immersive demo rooms that showcase integrated audio, video, and control systems. Integration Meets Design: Discussion centers on the critical partnership between integrators and the design-build community (interior designers, architects, builders). McGraw emphasizes that technology—ranging from AI and energy management to lighting—must be a foundational element of the design process, not an afterthought. The Business Case: Designers are encouraged to view integrators as essential trade partners, similar to electricians or plumbers, to better service clients and protect home networks. Dale Sandberg | Product Manager for Electronics, Sonance Aesthetic Performance: Sandberg discusses Sonance's philosophy that sound should support the design of a space rather than dominate it. The focus is on blending high-fidelity performance with discreet aesthetics. New Innovations: Highlights include the compact UA Series amplifiers designed to fit behind displays or in tight spaces, and the integration of professional-grade Blaze Audio amplifiers into the Sonance family. Outdoor Living: The conversation covers the growing trend of outdoor entertainment, where amplifiers and speakers are used to create immersive environments in backyards and outdoor kitchens. Jim Garrett | Senior Director of Product Strategy, Harman Luxury Audio Group Hidden Technology: Garrett addresses the challenge of eliminating “wall acne” through invisible speakers and design-integrated solutions that do not compromise acoustic performance. Pandemic Influence: The discussion explores how the pandemic shifted focus toward outdoor living and unconventional entertainment spaces, including garages and multi-generational gaming setups. Brand Portfolio: Insights into the product strategies for Harman's luxury brands—JBL, Revel, Mark Levinson, and JBL Synthesis—and the importance of gathering direct feedback from integrators to drive R&D.

At his first CEDIA Expo, Dale highlights Sonance's latest innovations, from compact UA Series amplifiers designed to disappear behind displays to Blaze Audio's professional-grade amplifiers now integrated into the Sonance family. With a philosophy that sound should enhance the design of a space rather than dominate it, Sonance is shaping how integrators and designers deliver immersive, comfortable experiences both indoors and out. Guest: Dale Sandberg, Product Manager for Electronics, Sonance. Background: from pro audio to Sonance, less than one year with the company. Context: first CEDIA Expo experience, excitement about Sonance's direction. New Product Highlights Loudspeakers High Output Series (professional side).

Blaze Audio Amplifiers Sonance acquisition of Blaze Audio brand (Pascal, Denmark). Range from 60W per channel up to 400W bridged. Full DSP capability, rack-mountable, UL-rated. Outdoor applications via weather-rated cases. Design & Integration Perspective Compact electronics give designers freedom to hide gear while maintaining performance. Balancing performance and aesthetics: sound follows the design, not the other way around. Example: background music at parties that fills space without overwhelming conversation. Outdoor living trend: amplifiers and speakers enabling outdoor kitchens, theaters, and entertainment spaces. Company Ethos & Philosophy Mission: deliver complete audio solutions—amplification, processing, and speakers. Philosophy: the sonic experience should support the aesthetic experience of a home or space. Growth vision: expand residential dominance while building commercial presence. Takeaway: not just about volume—it's about creating the right experience.
