Coastal Source CEDIA Expo 2026

Coastal Source is showcasing its expanded portfolio of outdoor audio, lighting and design solutions at CEDIA Expo 2026. The company said it is demonstrating how professionally designed outdoor living spaces can transform residential properties while creating new opportunities for integrators.

Coastal Source said it is highlighting new solutions in both the Colorado Convention Center and Destination Outdoors exhibit area. The solutions are designed to elevate the outdoor entertainment experience. VIA will be featured, the first purpose-built outdoor lighting platform to combine native Lutron intelligent lighting with Coastal Source’s outdoor-rated architectural fixtures, offering tunable white light, vibrant color, precision dimming and dynamic scene control.

The company will also display the 1000 Series Bollard speakers, aiming to provide enhanced clarity, tonal accuracy and power handling while maintaining deep, dynamic bass. Coastal Source will also feature PowerSource, a UL-certified, plug-and-play line-voltage system engineered for both direct-burial and above-ground outdoor installations. Design Studio will be displayed alongside PowerSource, an interactive platform that brings together planning tools, conceptual design services, real-time consultations and immersive 3D visualizations.

Destination Outdoors was created by Coastal source in collaboration with Lutron, returning to CEDIA Expo this year. Attendees move through a connected journey beginning in an indoor living room featuring Lutron intelligent lighting and automated shading before transitioning into a covered outdoor living space and fully illuminated landscape where VIA extends the Lutron lighting experience beyond the home. The company said Coastal Source audio, lighting and power solutions demonstrate how technology can create one coordinated outdoor environment.

Coastal Source also hosted a Destination Outdoors Happy Hour Sept. 2that provided attendees with an opportunity to experience the exhibit while connecting with the Coastal Source team and industry peers.

“Outdoor living has become one of the most important spaces around the home, and homeowners increasingly expect it to feel as connected and intentional as every room inside,” said Franco D’Ascanio, founder and CEO of Coastal Source. “At CEDIA we’re showing how audio, lighting, power, and design work together to create exceptional outdoor environments. Our collaboration with Lutron represents a significant step forward, extending native intelligent lighting beyond the home’s walls and giving integrators an entirely new way to design one connected lighting experience.”
