CE Pro's annual Brand Analysis study surveys the top 100 highest-revenue residential integration firms, otherwise known as the CE Pro 100, to determine their preferred brands in the categories of audio, video, home automation, networking, lighting control, security and more.
In this category-by-category breakdown, senior editor Bob Archer delivers an in-depth look at the most frequently used manufacturers in 55 product categories. The numbers associated with each manufacturer reflect the number of CE Pro 100 dealers using that brand.
Each company in the top five HDMI cable brands increased its numbers from the previous year.
Binary (SnapAV) comes in first, followed by AudioQuest, Tributaries, Liberty then Metra, which doubled its figures this year. The result of all this growth from an overall perspective is that Binary and AudioQuest have really emerged from a crowded field.
