Audio Advice Live in Raleigh This Weekend!
In just a few days, Audio Advice will be hosting its 2nd Audio Advice Live, a three-day home theater and hi-fi show showcasing equipment from almost a hundred brands. Participants will have the opportunity to experience the launch of a host of new products from brands including Bowers & Wilkins, JBL, and Monitor Audio.
Audio Advice Live has a focus on both two-channel audio and home theater. Visitors will also see and hear a large variety of affordable gear plus some of the best flagship products in audio and home theater. The Audio Advice install teams are even retrofitting demo rooms for super-immersive Dolby Atmos. There will be tons of deals on products and giveaways galore.
After a blockbuster first show in 2022, Audio Advice, which runs the audioadvice.com and maintains world-class showrooms in Raleigh and Charlotte, North Carolina, is excited to make the second year much bigger and more fun, with a live concert on Friday, August 4th, featuring Love Tribe, the ultimate high-energy, good-time party band, immediately following the keynote in the iconic Lincoln Theater. Entry to this special event is included with registration.
Audio Advice Live kicks off Friday, August 4, at the Sheraton Hotel in downtown Raleigh and runs through Sunday, August 6. Show hours are 8am–6pm Friday and Saturday, 8am–4pm Sunday. A three-day pass is $39.99, and single-day passes are $24.99 for Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. Passes are available at AudioAdviceLive.com. You can also pay at the door. Children and students get in free.
Showgoers will have the opportunity to learn about and demo high-performance audio and video products, check out audio gear on display in a large exhibit hall, and attend expert panel discussions offering DIY tips, deep dives into the science behind room calibration, and more.
