Day one at CEDIA was packed full of interesting stuff! Rather than go really deep I thought I would share my iImage may be NSFW.

And they are truly in limited quantities, only 300 pairs of bookshelf speakers and 200 pairs of towers will be built. The Signature series beryllium tweeter and a new mid-range driver deliver the crystal clear highs and tight focused mids that Paradigm listeners know and love.

We also got a chance to hear the new sound bar from Golden Ear, for such a small unit it had great impact, clarity and a wonderful soundstage. But yet was barely noticeable on top of the TV it was displayed with!
The most impressive thing from Control 4 was the addition of voice commands, you will now be able to use your voice to do anything and more that you normally do with a remote control or touch panel. I can see all kinds of great applications for this technology and rather than some voice activated systems I have used this seemed to work really well and really reliably, even on the crowded and noisy show floor!Image may be NSFW.

Kaleidescape is going to be adding Bluray quality downloads to their M series units! And we learned that there are many movies and shows that you simply CANNOT stream. With Kaleidescape’s new downloads you get full quality 1080P picture and full lossless audio and all the same features you would get if you bought the disk. This is an exciting development for those who wish to have large movie collections but don’t want the hassle of having all that hard media, but still want the highest possible picture and sound quality!
Lutron introduced a ceiling fan speed control that will work with its Radiora2 system! This may not sound like a big deal but it fixes a serious gap in whole house control that until recently was not easily controlled, they had some other great stuff that I will be talking about later!
The Highlight of the show for Jon Robbins was hearing the Sonance SLS outdoor speaker system. With a sub that gets buried in Image may be NSFW.

So far it has been a great show and I am looking forward to more interesting things tomorrow! I hope to be able to go into greater depth on some of these things in the comings months! Stayed tuned for updates on Facebook and my blog for more pictures and info as I come across great stuff! If there is something you would like me to check out at CEDIA for you please send me an email! If I can find it I will snap a picture and let you know what I think!
And always remember; the proof is in the listening!
