AWE, the leading distributor to the UK CI industry, will showcase a wealth of premium branded products on stands D10 and D12 at CEDIA Expo 2009 (23-25 June 2009, ExCeL London).

Taking centre stage will be a selection of best in class screens headed by the new Panasonic CHT (Custom Home Theatre) series. Visitors will be able to see the TH-65VX100e CHT plasma, and the recently launched TH-50EX100e which are already widely acknowledged as the highest quality screens class now available to the CI sector.

Also on show will be other top brand viewing options for custom installers. These include the highly anticipated 21:9 Cinema TV from Philips, exclusive to AWE, the latest superslim screens from Sharp and the new Viera 10 series from Panasonic, which includes the ultra slim Neo PDP plasma and the impressive 103"plasma.

Among other exclusive brand highlights will be the first showing of award-winning Arcam products on the AWE Stand. Visitors will be able to catch up with Arcam's CI focused range - now exclusively distributed by AWE - extending to 8 and 12 channel power amplifiers, the complete SOLO range of music and movie systems as well as a brilliant selection of loudspeakers, iPod docks and accessories.

Meanwhile, in control options, AWE continues to excel. The full Philips Pronto range will be on display, including the newly launched TSU-9300 which is a fully customisable remote control working with IR, IP and RS-232, alongside the new custom finished Pronto TSU-9600 and TSU-9800, hand finished in leather! The Xantech Digi-5, a ground breaking digital multi-zone multi-room audio system will also be on show. Offering more power and higher quality than the older analogue designs, it is an impressive and popular system format. The upgraded Xantech MRC88M multiroom controller, HD88 video switcher and best selling IR distribution kits and problem solvers will also make a strong appearance.

Live demonstrations of the capabilities of AWE equipment will be available in the upgraded AWE Solutions House. Here, the Philips Pronto control system drives the system of devices from Lutron, Xantech and others which help bring whole house audio, video and lighting to life for visitors.

AWE will continue to impress visitors with a showing of the KEF Home Theatre (KHT) speakers and new sub woofers. Other headline attractions include the stunning Cineversum BlackWing One projector that integrates the latest technologies, has 1080p resolution using the acclaimed 3-LCOS engine, a wide lens throw ratio and RS-232 control. This beautiful projector will be on display alongside new AV receivers from Pioneer, Denon, Onkyo and Yamaha; Pioneer's latest Blu-Ray player; 8" in-ceiling speakers from Flatline Acoustics USA and Denon's new AV amp.

AWE is offering free training at Expo with courses on offer including an overview of Xantech multi-room and Dragon programming, Level 1 Pronto training and more. These courses are being presented as part of the free CEDIA Trade Suppliers training programme and provide a valuable opportunity for delegates to learn more about these key products.
