Pulse Cinemas/Invision brands set for an impressive ISE 2026

With many of our brands using the industry’s largest AV and automation show to present their latest innovations, a visit to the show is a must. With the Pulse Cinemas/Invision team out in force to support your visit, make sure you make contact and make the most of your ISE experience.

Alcons Audio (Stand 7G500) will be at the event showcasing its unique power in the realm of home cinema audio. With Alcons Audio now back in the main cinema at Pulse Cinemas HQ, there has never been a better time to get back up to speed with exactly what this company can deliver or, if discovering the brand for the first time, to put Alcons at the top of the visit list for the show. In a powerful home cinema demonstration, Alcons will underline what it can offer high-performance home cinemas. This same demonstration will involve Kaleidescape. After a storming 2025 introducing many new products, Kaleidescape will be available across different locations at the show, powering home cinema demonstrations and underlining why the brand is the undisputed leader in home cinema content delivery.

This same stand will also feature another Pulse Cinemas/Invision brand, Trinnov, showcasing the new AltitudeCI platform. AltitudeCI brings Trinnov performance within reach for a larger range of installations, introducing a modular licensing model that enables integrators to specify channel count in 2-channel increments. AltitudeCI can come in configurations from 8 to 32 channels, with a custom 64-channel version arriving later in 2026. Upgrades can be activated remotely via Trinnov’s extranet, maximising long-term flexibility. On board are proven Trinnov technologies such as Optimizer, WaveForming and Remapping. The power of this new platform will also be demonstrated in another home cinema demonstration on Stand 2G300.

Stand 2G300 will also feature madVR video enhancement. Announcing next-generation Envy Extreme MK3 and Core MK2 Video Processors and a major new software release in 2025, the brand has much to shout about and will be doing so in style, as installers can learn more about the Envy Extreme MK3 8K-48G, Envy Pro MK3 8K-48G and Envy Core MK2 8K-48G. These models are designed to set new benchmarks for performance, specifications and intuitive operation, introducing HDMI 2.1 with full 48 Gbps input and output support, advanced GPUs and groundbreaking features for both cinema enthusiasts and gamers, including Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) support on the input and output up to 360Hz.

Also featuring on Stand 2G300, Screen Research will be providing the image platform for the demonstration, with news of the brand’s recently introduced new FSD Profile screen.

Another home cinema company in the Pulse Cinemas/Invision stable, Screen Innovations can be found on the Focal Stand 2G420 with a Zero Edge 150in screen using Maestro White 2 ultra-smooth surface. Screen Innovations will also be featured in the MartinLogan Listening Room (2.8) with a Zero Edge 120in utilising a Pure White AT surface. The brand can also be found on the DreamVision Stand (2C200) featuring a Zero Edge 100in Slate 1.2 screen with a short throw lift mechanism.

High-quality seating options will be on display from Grand Film Chairs, as the company exhibits for the first time appearing on the Procella Audio Stand (2F240). The maker will have a three-seater sofa in fabric in the form of the new STELLA model from the Gold Collection. Grand Film Chairs will also be appearing on Stand 2A150 sharing with Zion Technology. Three models will be available to experience: a single DEAN seat in fabric with upgraded comfort, another single seat in leather from the STELLA line, part of the Gold Collection. There will also be a two-seater NORAH sofa in fabric.

The maker will be exhibiting a new product that will be part of a new gold range of seating available from the company.

Lithe Audio also enjoyed a highly positive 2025 and will make a strong showing at ISE 2026 with the introduction of a new 8in Bluetooth speaker. Stand 2A860 is the location to learn all about this new offering from this agile and innovative audio brand.

Lighting the way

With much fanfare in 2025, Lutron announced the launch of the wireless RadioRA 3, a portfolio of controls, intelligent lighting and automated window treatments that communicate wirelessly, created to deliver exquisite, intuitive home control to sit in-between the HomeWorks and RadioRA2 systems. Lutron RadioRA 3 has been designed and created to empower smart home professionals to deliver personalised, scalable solutions that transform and simplify how clients experience their homes.

The integrated control system arrived alongside the Vierti keypad, a timelessly modern control featuring a hybrid load control option, and Lumaris RGB + tuneable white tape light, Lutron’s first internationally available intelligent light source. Get along to Stand 2G700 to find out more.

Sonos is setting up shop on Stand 1E500, underlining its ability to deliver options into the domestic and light commercial markets. Sonos will also be introducing a new product concept at the event. Despite much speculation, there are, at the time of writing, no official details as yet, but as soon as they are available, we will share them.

Vicoustic is making a welcome return to the event on Stand 2E110. With a major new facility opened and announced in the middle of 2024, the brand has been busy consolidating its place as the go-to brand for aesthetically impressive acoustic treatment. Well worth a visit.

Say hi to AVA

Making its first fully standalone ISE appearance, AVA will be showcasing the release of AVA OS 2.0 on Stand 2A880. This update delivers a significant upgrade for this popular control platform for home automation and AV control. The brand will showcase the latest capabilities delivered by AVA OS 2.0, including the ability to interact with the AVA platform on iPad, Mac, Windows and third-party in-wall panels. Projects can now be configured and managed on macOS and Windows, in addition to directly on AVA’s own Cinema and Home devices.

AVA OS 2.0 also introduces a new interface rooted firmly in the clean, functional principles of mid-20th-century Swiss graphic design. The end result is a crisp, elegant experience with clear hierarchy, strong readability and polished visual clarity. Larger touch elements and adjustable font sizes deliver more usability without sacrificing the well-loved aesthetic refinement of AVA. Integration with Sonos is another area visitors will be able to explore, so make sure this is part of the ISE 2026 experience.

Elegant security options from DoorBird will also be available on Stand 2C330, with new door station options from this brand that combine exclusive design with innovative IP technology.

Anthem AV will be making an appearance in partnership with speaker brand MartinLogan. A flagship listening experience features both these brands located in Listening Room 2.8. The demo pairs MartinLogan’s flagship custom installation loudspeakers with Anthem’s world-class electronics, anchored by the AVM 90 and seven Statement M1 monoblock amplifiers. The result is planned to be a reference-level presentation defined by breathtaking scale, surgical control and effortless dynamic headroom.
