During CEDIA Expo 2026, in SR7, a 9.4.6 Dolby Atmos home theater showcase brings together Lumagen, Christie, Stewart Filmscreen, NextLevel Acoustics, StormAudio, SPEAKERPOWER, Simplified Acoustics, Cinemotion Posters, and Pixel Perfect Walls.
Bringing advanced image processing to home cinema, Lumagen will debut the ArtisaN 8K Ready video and audio processor ($11,495 MSRP) at CEDIA Expo 2026. ArtisaN features eight inputs, two outputs, real-time video scaling, HDR dynamic tone mapping, precise lip-sync control, and low-latency game mode with a fixed 3-millisecond video delay. Manufactured in the USA, Lumagen also offers an ArtisaN upgrade path to 4K120 and 8K processing (additional $2500 MSRP).
Christie will make the CEDIA debut of its 4K1000-KS model from the Korus Series of 1DLP projectors. Backed by a five-year or 20,000-hour warranty, it combines a lightweight, ultra-compact chassis with versatile lens options, including an ultra-short-throw Z-shaped lens, for flexible integration into any space. MSRP $14,461.
Stewart Filmscreen will showcase VistaScope Evo, a two-way vertical masking screen system featuring Harmony G3 acoustically transparent woven screen material. The 4.5-inch-bordered system supports larger cinematic images while allowing proper speaker placement behind the screen. VistaScope Evo will demonstrate formats from 188 inches diagonal at a 2.39:1 aspect ratio to 116 inches diagonal at a 4:3 aspect ratio. MSRP as shown is $27,750.
NextLevel Acoustics will feature its Cinema Series, a high-performance immersive audio system designed for power, clarity, precision, and cinematic scale. The demonstration will also debut two additions: the Cinema H height speaker, with 93 dB sensitivity, and the flagship CI-HV21 High Velocity 21-inch subwoofer, designed for deep, fast, room-pressurizing bass. MSRP for the NextLevel Acoustics 9.4.6 loudspeaker system is $66,000.
StormAudio will showcase its Elite processor, built on the CEDIA Product Hall of Fame-winning ISP platform. As the heart of the immersive audio demonstration, the Elite processor will manage audio decoding, signal processing, bass management, and system calibration through the complete StormAudio Calibration Suite, combining Dirac Live Room Correction, Bass Control, and Active Room Treatment (ART) with powerful manual optimization tools to deliver precise and consistent performance. MSRP: $28,499.
SPEAKERPOWER will premiere the HTx408, an 8-channel amplifier delivering 400 watts per channel. Built on the HTRx8-400 platform, the HTx408 is designed for high-end residential theaters and combines reference-level power, high-fidelity performance, and a rack-ear-free design for installation in a custom credenza or AV rack. MSRP: $1999.
Simplified Acoustics will manage room acoustics. Utilized will be the company’s new BDP acoustic panel. This uses a new formula for Binary Amplitude Diffusion over an absorptive panel that is more effective for off-access waves than a traditional binary amplitude panel. System MSRP $5400.
CineMotion Posters will demonstrate two 55-inch TVs in portrait mode in SR7 and booth #1346. One TV will function as a poster player, rotating through movie posters, while the second will serve as digital signage. The company’s CMP-01 poster player turns any flat screen with an HDMI port into an animated, interactive, and connected digital movie poster that can display posters within a user’s playlists, along with “Now Playing” posters and banners when connected to any Kaleidescape Strato-series player. The player can also play back both static images and motion posters.
Across the aisle in booth #1346, the SR7 partners will exhibit additional products. New for 2026 and making its Expo debut, Pixel Perfect Walls will showcase an ultra-bright 130-inch direct-view LED video wall featuring a 0.9mm pixel pitch and an ultra-wide 2.22:1 aspect ratio. This will be demonstrated with Lumagen’s ArtisaN, StormAudio’s Fusion 20 integrated amp, and NextLevel Acoustics’ custom LR-CC 5.5 soundbar and HV10 Subwoofer.
SR7 contributors include Kaleidescape (movie platform), Home Theater Gurus (sound room design), Lowell Manufacturing (AV racks), and Bayview Audio (video production of SR7 demo introduction).
