New International Hi-Fi & AV Expo Coming to Asia in 2026

StereoNET, a leading authority in hi-fi, home cinema, and consumer electronics media, is proud to announce the launch of the inaugural StereoNET Asia Hi-Fi & AV Expo, which will take place in Singapore in 2026.

This landmark event will mark StereoNET's first major showcase in Southeast Asia, reinforcing Singapore's position as a central hub for the region's rapidly expanding consumer audio and visual industry.

Building on the resounding success of the annual StereoNET Hi-Fi & AV Expo held in Melbourne—now recognised as the largest event of its kind in Australasia—and joining the UK Audio Show held in London, UK, the Asia edition will bring together the world's leading hi-fi, headphone, and home cinema brands, as well as emerging innovators, under one roof. The Expo will offer a comprehensive platform for manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and enthusiasts to experience the latest in high-fidelity audio, immersive home cinema, and cutting-edge Audio-Visual (AV) technology.

Singapore's strategic location and world-class infrastructure make it the ideal gateway for brands seeking to connect with Asia-Pacific's booming AV market. This market is expected to grow by more than $20 billion by 2030, driven by surging consumer demand for high-definition content, smart home integration, and next-generation entertainment experiences. The Asia Hi-Fi & AV Expo will be marketed to a wider range of countries in the region, attracting stakeholders and enthusiasts from Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, Vietnam, Brunei, Hong Kong, China, Japan, Korea, and India.

Marc Rushton, Founder & Publisher of StereoNET, said:

Bringing our popular StereoNET Expos to Singapore underscores our commitment to fostering and expanding the hi-fi and AV community throughout Asia. The 2026 Expo will stand as a milestone event, offering a premier platform where brands and enthusiasts can connect, explore the latest innovations, and help define the future of audio-visual technology in the region.

A dedicated 'Headzones' space for the Asia Expo will focus on Head-Fi, Portable Audio and also Gaming, recognising the strength of this category throughout Asia. The Expo will also feature the latest in-car audio from some of the world's leading Electric Vehicle (EV) manufacturers, including brands such as Burmester, Sonus Faber, KEF, Dynaudio, Bowers & Wilkins, Mark Levinson, Harman Kardon, Yamaha, Canton, and more.

Eugene Ng, Regional Manager & Editor, Asia, added:

After more than five years of careful planning and fifteen years of experience working throughout Asia, it became clear that Singapore and the Marina Bay Sands are the ideal location for a truly world-class international event celebrating the very best in our industry. By collaborating closely with key brands, stakeholders and the global StereoNET team, we are excited to finally bring this vision to life and make the Asia Expo a reality.

This unforgettable celebration of sound and vision in one of the world's most central and vital locations will take place in Singapore at the iconic Marina Bay Sands Expo & Convention from 10 to 12 July 2026.

The StereoNET Asia Hi-Fi & AV Expo joins the existing Melbourne and London shows on the industry's international event calendar.

Two information sessions are being held with invited industry members at the Marina Bay Sands, Friday 17th October 2026. Additional expressions of interest from exhibitors are now welcome for this inaugural regional event. Early involvement will allow you to help shape the future of hi-fi and AV in Asia.

applause awards

Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.

Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.

The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.

We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
