Already in the history books, January’s CES 2026 Las Vegas demonstrated to trade visitors the future of many innovative technologies in the world of vision and sound.

Now in February, whilst writing this, we also see this month’s ISE 2026 Barcelona completing its 4-day event on Friday 6th also launching a multitude of innovations within the increasing custom install market along with domestic and commercial AV solutions.
