In our series of #CEDIAShares blogs, we’re talking with exhibitors about the hottest technologies and trends they’re looking to see at CEDIA Expo/CIX 2025.
Q&A with Jim Garrett, sr. director, product strategy & planning at Harman Luxury Audio Group.
Why exhibit at CEDIA Expo/CIX 2025?
CEDIA Expo is the premier event for the custom installation industry, and 2025 marks our largest presence yet. Co-exhibiting with Samsung in the show’s largest booth, we have an unparalleled opportunity to showcase how integrators can deliver complete, high-performance audio and video solutions from our combined portfolios. It’s a chance to connect directly with dealers, share our latest innovations, and demonstrate the synergies between Harman Luxury Audio and Samsung.
What is the most exciting trend you expect to see at the show?
Immersive home audio continues to grow, both in dedicated cinemas and in luxury living spaces, and we see tremendous opportunity in pairing that with advancements in display technology — particularly larger screen sizes and new display types. This convergence of audio and video is redefining the home entertainment experience, and we’re excited to show how our brands help integrators meet that demand.
What will you focus on at the show?
Our focus will be on demonstrating the depth of our high-performance portfolio across JBL Synthesis, JBL, and ARCAM, including the new JBL Synthesis SDP-80 surround processor, SMA Series amplifiers, and the latest ARCAM Radia Series components. We’ll highlight how these solutions integrate seamlessly with Samsung displays to create complete, premium entertainment systems— indoors or outside on the terrace — and we’ll offer immersive demos to help integrators bring these experiences to life for their clients.
