Genelec Wins Best Immersive Experience At Paris Audio Video Show 2026

Genelec enjoyed a standout presence at the Paris Audio Video Show 2026, with its listening room attracting continuous crowds and its immersive demonstrations drawing widespread acclaim.

Every session reached full capacity, giving attendees the chance to experience faithful sound reproduction in both stereo and immersive formats. The strong turnout underlined how music fans, home cinema enthusiasts and audio professionals alike continue to prize accuracy, transparency and emotional impact in audio.

Genelec was honoured with the "Meilleure expérience immersive" (Best Immersive Experience) award, recognising the exceptional quality of the experience presented in its demonstration room.

For the show, Genelec deployed a meticulously calibrated system built around the flagship full-range 8380A, models from The Ones family and a 7370A subwoofer, all optimised to the room using its GLM calibration software.

The demonstrations showcased precision and detail from pure stereo through to fully immersive content, highlighting how Genelec's active loudspeaker engineering, room adaptation and decades of acoustic expertise combine to deliver playback that remains true to the creator's intent.

The recognition is particularly noteworthy given the event's focus on home entertainment. While Genelec has long been acknowledged with awards in professional circles, this Paris accolade points to growing appreciation among private listeners for the same truthful monitoring principles trusted by recording specialists worldwide.

Visitors also expressed strong interest in how recordings are produced, how mixes translate between spaces and how accurate monitoring reveals every nuance, emotion and creative choice captured at source.

Genelec thanked the organisers of the Paris Audio Video Show and the many visitors who attended across the weekend. The event also coincided with the launch of Genelec's new French-language website, www.genelecaudio.fr, which joins the company's expanding range of localised homepages.
