Coastal Source, a manufacturer of high-performance outdoor audio and lighting, is set to exhibit at Audio Advice Live this year, expanding its presence to show attendees that audiophile-quality sound isn’t just an indoor experience.
Running from August 1–3 at the Sheraton Hotel in Raleigh, N.C., Audio Advice Live brings together top AV brands and enthusiasts for one of the largest consumer-facing high-performance audio events in the U.S. This year, Coastal Source is doubling down on its commitment to outdoor excellence with two immersive, centrally located exhibits: A custom-built pergola booth inside the hotel and a Mobile Demo Van stationed just outside. Both invite guests to “come and hear for yourself” how world-class sound can transform outdoor spaces.
“As outdoor living becomes an essential part of the modern home, consumers are expecting quality audio outside whether they’re relaxing by the pool, throwing a birthday party, or exercising,” says Peter Sepesi, VP of Sales at Coastal Source. “We’re here to demonstrate that outdoor audio doesn’t have to involve compromise – our products deliver the fidelity, clarity, and durability today’s discerning listeners demand.”
Coastal Source to Highlight New Speaker and Subwoofer Models During Audio Advice Live Show
Strategically positioned in the hotel lobby, the Coastal Source pergola booth will showcase the RZ-220 Razors, a product Coastal Source says is the first outdoor wall and hardscape speakers designed specifically for true HiFi performance. The company will pair the new speaker with its CUBE subwoofer to deliver an immersive, three-dimensional listening experience. Originally introduced at last year’s Audio Advice Live, the company says CUBE has quickly become popular with integrators looking to create a three dimensional listening experience in outdoor environments.
Just steps outside the hotel lobby, the Coastal Source Mobile Demo Van will provide visitors with a real-world glimpse at how their outdoor spaces can be transformed. The van features live demos of the company’s full speaker range, with a multi-unit Ellipse Bollard Array. Built to defy the elements, these high-performance loudspeakers are engineered to offer greater driver surface area and enhanced durability to result in higher output, better fidelity, and improved efficiency.
In addition to its audio systems, Coastal Source will also highlight its EVO lighting fixtures and Niche Series micro fixtures, which it says are designed to blend aesthetics with performance to complete the overall outdoor living experience.
Coastal Source emphasizes that its expanded presence at Audio Advice Live 2025 underscores its deepening partnership with Audio Advice, a respected AV retail and integration company.
“We’re excited to be back at Audio Advice Live and to connect directly with consumers,” adds Sepesi. “There’s a common misconception that outdoor audio can’t match the performance of indoor systems – but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Our latest audio and lighting solutions are proof that you can achieve stunning, audiophile-grade sound outdoors and we invite attendees to come experience it for themselves at Audio Advice Live this year.”
