Our friends at rAVe USA present their annual Best of CEDIA Awards, given to the best home AV gear seen at the 2013 CEDIA Expo.
While exciting, the show was admittedly dominated by an invasion of commercial AV gear. In fact, we estimate at least 25% of the products on show were ProAV products or digital signage products. So much so rAVe USA admit it was hard to keep these award limited to only HomeAV gear!
Without further ado, below is the list of award winners, or the BEST of what was shown at CEDIA Expo 2013.
Click each link below to see a video of the actual winning product shown at CEDIA and you’ll hear the winners, themselves, describe the winning product in their own words. And, in case you missed our CEDIA coverage, rAVe USA shot more than 500 videos, posted 200+ new product news stories and blogged live from the show-– and even took more than 250 photos! It’s all covered on the CEDIA Expo 2013 Microsite.
