LEA Professional’s footprint was felt at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver, CO, earlier this month at CEDIA Expo/CIX 2025. The show brought in thousands of attendees to the Mile High City. Across the show floor, LEA Professional amplifiers could be found in six booths, bringing life to the manufacturers’ exhibits. Attendees at the show were given a glimpse into LEA Professional’s technology catalog that features intelligent IT solutions, industry-leading DSP, and smart power management.
At CEDIA Expo/CIX 2025, LEA Professional powered the booths of ADI Global Distribution, Barco Residential, Just Video Walls, Leon Speakers, Powerhouse Alliance, Soundvision Technologies, and EDGE Sound Research. From gorgeous LED screens presenting the latest and greatest in cinema, to immersive demo spaces that you didn’t just hear, but feel, LEA’s presence was hard to miss.
“CEDIA Expo/CIX is the perfect place to showcase the technologies that move our industry forward, and LEA Professional continues to stand out as a partner that delivers,” said Caitlin Stewart, Sales Director-Residential, Leon Speakers. “We chose LEA because their Connect Series amplifiers combine the reliability and power of commercial-grade systems with the flexibility and control that residential projects demand. The show gives us the ideal platform to demonstrate those capabilities to integrators who are looking for smarter, more efficient solutions.”
“Our Embodied Sound demo room was a huge success at the show. We created a fully immersive, embodied experience that was unmatched on the floor,” said Dr. Ethan Castro, Co-Founder & CTO of EDGE Sound Research. “The Connect Series is our go-to choice for our installations as it keeps pace with our extraordinary requirements with their power density, flexible channel options, and programmable architecture. At EDGE Sound Research, innovation is at the core of what we do, and LEA shares that same commitment.”
Today’s homeowners want immersive audio throughout the home, from outdoor entertainment spaces and dedicated theaters to multi-room distributed systems. LEA Professional’s Connect Series amplifiers, engineered initially for demanding commercial environments, now bring professional-grade performance to residential projects. Available in half-rack and 1U models with 2-, 4-, and 8-channel configurations, these smart amplifiers deliver powerful, reliable audio while saving space in the rack.
The Connect Series is designed to simplify installation and give integrators more flexibility. Each amplifier features advanced 96kHz DSP, over 3,000 preloaded speaker tunings, and supports Lo-Z/Hi-Z speaker loads, selectable by channel, for mixed system designs. With LEA Cloud, integrators gain secure remote control, real-time monitoring, and firmware updates from anywhere in the world, making system management more efficient for both integrators and homeowners.
To ensure seamless integration into today’s smart homes, LEA amplifiers also include open API support and compatibility with leading control systems such as Crestron and Control4. Combined with LEA’s full suite of intelligent IT solutions, smart power management features, and best-in-class DSP, the Connect Series delivers a premium foundation for scalable, reliable, and brilliant residential audio.
“CEDIA Expo/CIX is a fantastic opportunity for our industry to come together and celebrate the innovations shaping the future of technology,” said Dan Augsburger, Residential Sales and Business Development Manager at LEA Professional. “The energy on the show floor was electric, and it was inspiring to see the Connect Series amplifiers contributing to that buzz. We’re proud to help residential integrators deliver commercial-grade performance in smart amplification to today’s homes.”
