CEDIA 2014 Expo Show Coverage Page

The CEDIA 2014 Expo was in Denver again this year and we had a blast covering it. We scouted the showfloor in search of everything Dolby Atmos since that's the buzz word this year. This included new Dolby Atmos AV Receivers, Processors and Speakers. Do those upfiring Atmos Elevation speakers really work and how do they compare to discrete ceiling mounted speakers? Read our coverage and demo reports to find out. What about new competing next generation surround formats like Auro-3D? HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 and how it will affect new gear? We got the scoop on those items as well.

Be sure to check out our Audioholics Facebook page for tons of new product images and information.
