http://www.audioholics.comWhere audio and video equipment undergoes rigorous objective and subjective tests by our staff, ensuring that marketing slogans aren't the only guidelines for your home theater choices.Tue, 13 Mar 2012 14:00:00 -0000http://www.audioholics.com/news/trade-show-coverage/audioholics-2012-gtg-eventThis year, we're bringing our annual trade show event down to earth for a more intimate setting that everyone can be take part in. We're teaming up with our dedicated forum readers and A/V enthusiasts and hosting a "listening" event in appreciation of the audiophile experience. We'll be gathering at the Lake Tarpon Resort in Tarpon Springs, Florida on October 26th and 27th for a meet and greet, and to listen to new audio equipment demoed by our sponsors. We have the entire wing of this lovely resort to host dedicated sound rooms for each participating sponsor and the sky is the limit. Registration is FREE and lunch will be provided for all registered attendees. You are welcome to BYOB (Bring Your Own Beer) and BYOM (Bring Your Own Music) and even BYOG (Bring Your Own Gear) if you want to demo your stuff. Simply give us feedback in the dedicated forum thread of this announcement and let us know how you would like to participate. There will be plenty of perks to be announced in the coming months so keep this article bookmarked. Hope to see you there!Tue, 13 Mar 2012 14:00:00 -0000/news/trade-show-coverage/audioholics-2012-gtg-eventTrade Show CoverageNews & Opinionhttp://www.audioholics.com/news/trade-show-coverage/ces-2012-trade-show-coverageWe love CES. It's a time of new gadgets for all things audio and video... and more. We're committed to bring you some of the best coverage, including the hottest items and, in particular, those things which most affect the home theater industry. In 2012 we have yet to identify that "next great thing" but it's certain that streaming media is dominating the thoughts of manufacturers everywhere. Blu-ray is taking a back seat and thin TVs are the talk of the town, with OLED making its way to the front stage for the first time since it was first brought up at the show several years ago. This is by far the largest trade show of the year for all things electronic and CES is one of the hottest times of the year to get your AV fix of news and product information. Stop by throughout the day as our coverage explodes and expands to bring you the hottest items and the newest technology announcements!Thu, 01 Dec 2011 06:05:00 -0000/news/trade-show-coverage/ces-2012-trade-show-coverageTrade Show CoverageNews & Opinionhttp://www.audioholics.com/news/trade-show-coverage/2011-cedia-expo-products-newsCEDIA is more exciting this year for some reason... perhaps because we're so excited to see the new equipment after a year of languishing in an industry trapped in recession. Perhaps it's that we're an official show sponsor this year (a first for us!) Maybe it's because we're tweeting the entire event with photos and coverage. In either case, we'll be there, and there is no shortage of news - which is already trickling in from press & marketing folks who, like little children, just can't wait to tell us about the greatest and latest adventures of their clients. We love it - and you will too. Bookmark this page and also follow us @AudioholicsLive to track the latest products and technologies as we see them!

CEDIA is ripe with new product announcements about flat screen LCD TVs (yeah!), 3D TV (meh), and LED lighting technology for projectors and display (woohoo!) For us, it's just a smorgasbord of entertainment goodness and pure, unadulterated, AV fun. This year we are presenting the latest technology and AV product updates as we get them and we will be sure to post tons of show photos as well as we cover the show live from September 22-26.Wed, 15 Sep 2010 21:15:00 -0000/news/trade-show-coverage/cedia-expo-2010-newsTrade Show CoverageNews & Opinionhttp://www.audioholics.com/news/trade-show-coverage/e3-2010-3d-games-peripheralsLet's clear the air on this right off. It's not that I'm too old to want to sit around all day and play video games - I'm not! It's just that I'm old enough to have to respect the responsibility that have been thrust upon me. With that said, I guess the only real difference between me and the fan boys and gals streaming into the Los Angels Convention Center for the Electronic Entertainment Show (E3) is that I can remember the shows predating it - like the Summer Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Chicago when the founders of E3 first tried to drum up interest in an all-video game show. Who'd guess that E3 would go on to become THE venue for video gaming and gamers to hunger for each year.Fri, 02 Jul 2010 02:20:00 -0000/news/trade-show-coverage/e3-2010-3d-games-peripheralsTrade Show CoverageNews & Opinionhttp://www.audioholics.com/news/trade-show-coverage/cedia-2009-expo-show-coverageWe arrived at Atlanta, bitter at the loss of our precious Denver, but excited about the prospects of new technology in the forms of LED, flat panels, and network technology as it relates to receivers and Blu-ray. The show is a bit thin this year, many companies opting to reduce the size of their booths or take the year off. Still, this show has a lot more product info on home theater audio/video products than we experienced at this year's Consumer Electronics Show. And that makes us happy to be here.Thu, 10 Sep 2009 23:49:42 -0000/news/trade-show-coverage/cedia-2009-expo-show-coverageTrade Show CoverageNews & Opinionhttp://www.audioholics.com/news/trade-show-coverage/electronic-entertainment-expo-e3-part-2-great-hardwareGame consoles come and go every few years, but peripherals are eternal. Yet this mainstay of the video game scene has been challenged by a new category - hardware that is designed for and made to enhance specific games and genres. And nowhere was this more evident than at E3 2009. In part 1 we discussed the games, check out part 2; the hardware.Wed, 24 Jun 2009 14:10:00 -0000/news/trade-show-coverage/electronic-entertainment-expo-e3-part-2-great-hardwareTrade Show CoverageNews & Opinionhttp://www.audioholics.com/news/trade-show-coverage/the-electronic-entertainment-expo-part-1-great-gamesLet me start by confessing that I never liked video games because they taught hand/eye coordination or social skills - I liked playing them because they were fun. So the opportunity to attend E3 at the Los Angeles Convention Center was irresistible. Even more so because the nonsense of trying to turn it into a business event over the last two years was rolled back so that glitz and glamor could once again lead the way. And why not? Times may be tough but games touch on so many genres that there’s sure to be something for everyone. Which explains why the video gaming industry has continued to be so profitable through the years.Thu, 18 Jun 2009 12:00:00 -0000/news/trade-show-coverage/the-electronic-entertainment-expo-part-1-great-gamesTrade Show CoverageNews & Opinionhttp://www.audioholics.com/news/trade-show-coverage/people-in-3dWonder why the 3D in the movie theaters or on the TV seems to be almost totally focused on animation? I hadn’t - until I attended this hands on, working demo on 3D put on by SpectSoft. By watching the stereoscopic workflow, I could see just how incredibly time consuming and laborious the process is when people are the ones in front of the camera. But I also learned how SpectSoft’s stereo capture and playback tools can not only speed up the process of shooting people in 3D, but aid in saving time and money as well.

For those of you unfamiliar with Audio Precision, they are the world’s leading manufacturer of high end audio test equipment. Every serious audio engineer and a select few A/V magazine uses their equipment for evaluating amplifier performance and taking low level and high level measurements.Thu, 11 Dec 2008 13:10:00 -0000/news/trade-show-coverage/videos/audio-precision-amplifier-testingVideosTrade Show Coveragehttp://www.audioholics.com/news/trade-show-coverage/videos/marantz-new-products-interviewMarantz made their presence known in a big way at the 2008 Audioholics Expo with their new separates and flagship DLP video projector. The AV8003 and MM8003 are the first of the newly redesigned line of AV receivers and processors which borrow some of the cosmetic stylings from their Reference line. Dubbed the M1 chassis, the new design is also designed to better dissipate heat and reduce vibrations. Audyssey auto-calibration is include and so it XM and HD Radio. Balanced outputs are available on the AV8003 and a digital media player is included to allow consumers to stream content from a PC, Escient or NAS drive to the home theater. The system not only does audio, but also plays video from networked storage.Fri, 21 Nov 2008 20:09:28 -0000/news/trade-show-coverage/videos/marantz-new-products-interviewVideosTrade Show Coveragehttp://www.audioholics.com/news/trade-show-coverage/videos/audyssey-dynamic-volume-interviewWe interviewed Chris Kyriakakis at the 2008 Audioholics Expo about the new Audyssey Dynamic Volume which is appearing in Denon and Onkyo receivers this year (and some others as well). The new technology allows consumers to listen to their multichannel audio and movies at levels far below reference levels without missing out on important surround sound information, or getting blown away by peak sound effects. The technology works by adjusting dynamics with multi-channel sources in mind - and in a way that preserves the intended mix. It also takes care of the excessive volume associated with hyper-compressed television commercials and varying source levels. Once Audyssey is set, it takes care of the rest, no matter what volume level you are listening at.Mon, 03 Nov 2008 08:36:16 -0000/news/trade-show-coverage/videos/audyssey-dynamic-volume-interviewVideosTrade Show Coveragehttp://www.audioholics.com/news/trade-show-coverage/videos/dolby-truehd-dolby-volume-interviewCraig Eggers, Senior Manager of Dolby Labs, speaks with us at the 2008 Audioholics Expo event in Orlando, Florida and discusses Dolby TrueHD as well as the new Dolby Volume which promises to revolutionize the way consumers listen to home theater and multi-channel music in their living rooms. In particular, Dolby Volume allows better sound reproduction of multi-channel movie and music content without losing surround channel information and eliminating the "pumping and breathing" artifacts so commonly found in typical 'loudness' controls.Sun, 02 Nov 2008 07:00:00 -0000/news/trade-show-coverage/videos/dolby-truehd-dolby-volume-interviewVideosTrade Show Coveragehttp://www.audioholics.com/news/trade-show-coverage/videos/imaging-science-foundation-overviewJoel Silver of the Imaging Science Foundation (ISF) spoke at the 2007 Audioholics State of the C.E.

Although the show is geared towards custom installers and integrators, I have never been to EHX and thought it would be interesting to take a peek at this slightly different area of our industry.

These are essentially a two-piece, modular version of the T-30LSE which allows for a more manageable cabinet size for the low and high drivers. The dual 10-inch subwoofers can now be purchased separately as well (1010-SE/R) and the entire system is much easier to physically ship and manipulate into a home theater or two-channel listening installation. The RBH Sound demo was configured into an 11.2 surround configuration to match with Yamaha's desired DSP settings.
