Samsung and Harman Luxury Audio are Bringing Big Sound and Bigger Attitude to CEDIA 2025

The biggest booth at CEDIA Expo 2025 showcases JBL and ARCAM audio, Samsung TVs, and a JBL Synthesis 11.4.8 home theater.

Samsung Electronics America and Harman Luxury Audio are at CEDIA Expo 2025 in full force. The two brands are co-exhibiting in the largest booth on the show floor (#2512), offering a comprehensive look at their 2025 lineup of TVs, audio systems, and architectural speakers that deliver complete A/V solutions for CI Integrators and homeowners.

On display are Samsung’s 2025 Neo QLED and OLED TVs, including award-winning Art TVs like The Frame and The Frame Pro, plus Q series soundbars and the new Micro RGB TV category. Paired with these displays are Harman Luxury Audio’s JBL Synthesis, JBL, and ARCAM brands, showing how integrated audio and video can work seamlessly in both indoor and outdoor settings.

One thing you won’t see on the show floor this week is Samsung and CANVAS HiFi’s new The HiFi Frame. The collaboration is making its official debut at IFA Berlin 2025 instead, which is a shame. This integrated TV and soundbar system is exactly the kind of setup that would have turned heads in Denver, and it’s a bit of a disappointment not to get a firsthand look.

Immersive Cinema & Integrated Demonstrations

For home cinema fans, look for the JBL Synthesis 11.4.8-channel demonstration, Stage 2 7.1.2-channel setups, and Conceal Series 5.1 invisible systems. In-wall 3.1-channel configurations using JBL MA AVRs and Stage 2 architectural speakers will show multi-purpose and whole-house solutions. Samsung’s Art TVs will be on hand, displaying thousands of artworks from the Samsung Art Store, including exclusives from MoMA and Art Basel.

Harman Luxury Audio is debuting several new products: the JBL Synthesis SDP-80 surround processor, SMA Series amplifiers, and ARCAM’s updated Radia+ Series integrated amps (A5+, A15+, A25+), plus the new SA45, SA35, and ST25 integrated amplifier and streamer lineup. Expect high-resolution proprietary Class G amplification, streaming, and integration-ready capabilities in clean, industrial designs.

Outdoor Entertainment & Lifestyle Integration

Outdoor setups will feature The Terrace Full Sun paired with JBL outdoor audio, with Neo QLED brightness, Direct-Sun protection, IP56 water and dust resistance, and AI upscaling for older content. Integration with Samsung SmartThings and JBL Modern Audio AVRs promises streamlined control across both indoor and outdoor systems.

“This collaboration gives integrators a first look at how Samsung and Harman solutions work together across every category of the smart home,” said Jim Garrett, Senior Director, Product Strategy and Planning, Harman Luxury Audio.
