# [What I learned from every HDX demo at InfoComm 2026](https://www.nureva.com/learn/posts/what-i-learned-from-every-hdx-demo-at-infocomm-2026)

InfoComm 2026 was anything but a typical show for me.

Instead of walking the floor or bouncing between meetings, I spent all my time in our HDX demo suite, participating in every one of our on-the-hour sessions with dealers and end users. My objective was simple: I wanted to hear and see their reactions for myself — unfiltered and in real time.

Over the spring, we had run an extensive [HDX roadshow](https://www.nureva.com/products/hdx-series/on-tour) across Europe, visiting seven cities in six countries with multiple sessions at each location. That gave me a clear perspective on how European audiences were responding to our new [HDX full-featured audio series](https://www.nureva.com/products/hdx-series). InfoComm was my opportunity to understand how audience reactions compared in North America — where expectations, room designs and buying dynamics can be quite different.

What I found was reassuring.

For the most part, the reaction was remarkably consistent — and that’s an excellent thing. The core message resonated: a great in-room experience combined with reliable full-room microphone coverage for remote participants. People quickly grasped that this wasn’t just about audio pickup — it was about how the room feels (and the system performs) for those who are in the space.

## Why simplicity stood out

Attendees also responded strongly to the simplicity of the system design. The three components — audio bar, microphone pod and system hub — are purposeful and complete. Together, they deliver everything needed for large-room audio without unnecessary complexity.

In our demos, we highlighted five key functionalities:

- Full-room microphone coverage without gaps or drop-offs
- Clear, natural distributed sound for in-room participants
- Easy and consistent voice amplification
- Reliable voice lift performance without tuning or ongoing adjustment
- An enhanced assistive listening experience with *Auracast*™ broadcast audio

The full combination — strong in-room experience, reliable coverage and straightforward deployment — is what people kept coming back to in their feedback.

## An award-winning debut

In addition to the encouraging feedback received in our demo suite, HDX earned an InfoComm Best of Show award, recognizing its innovative approach to large-room audio.

While industry recognition is always appreciated, enthusiastic validation from dealers and end users is more meaningful, as they’re the ones facing the many challenges that HDX will solve.

## Different but worthwhile

So, InfoComm was a totally different experience for me this year — and an enlightening one. Those many hours in the demo room, seeing and hearing people’s responses, culminated in a terrific confirmation of our HDX product strategy and approach.
