XSCACE will be at the High End & Smart Home Show 2026 in Dubai, on stand B-15, from 24 to 26 September 2026 at the Radisson RED Hotel, Dubai Silicon Oasis. The stand is hosted by Miantic AV MENA, XSCACE's distributor for the Middle East and North Africa, whose own offices are a few minutes away in Silicon Oasis.
If you specify, install or sell audio in the Gulf, this is the place to hear the range in one room and to talk to the people who supply and support it locally.
The details
- Show: High End & Smart Home Show 2026, Dubai

- Venue: Radisson RED Hotel, Dubai Silicon Oasis
- Stand: B-15
- Host: Miantic AV MENA — miantic.ae
- Register: highendshow.ae/register
What to expect on stand B-15
The stand shows the XSCACE range as it is installed: speakers you cannot see, amplification you do not need a rack for, and the software that ties them together. Expect the Slim Array wall speakers — the Cane, QuadCane and Bonsai at 21 to 24 mm deep — alongside the in-ceiling and in-wall families, the Acacia subwoofers, and the Xylem DSP amplifiers that launched this month.
The Xylem is worth the visit on its own. It is a 400 W DSP amplifier in a 218 × 193 × 64 mm fanless chassis, configured over the network from XSCACE Studio on a Mac, iPhone, iPad or Windows laptop, with PsySculpt equal-loudness compensation running on every channel. Bring a room in mind and the Miantic team can commission a demonstration system in front of you — presets, calibration and X-Sense EQ included.
For streaming rooms, the Air Mini streaming preamp and the XSCACE Controller app will be on hand, including the X-Sense AI room calibration that maps a room as you walk it.
Why Dubai
The Gulf is one of the most active residential AV markets in the world, and the projects are the kind XSCACE was designed for: large villas with feature walls that cannot carry a visible speaker, cinemas built into finished interiors, and multi-zone installs where the amplification has to disappear. Our home cinema in Dubai guide sets out how the range fits those rooms.
Miantic AV MENA was appointed earlier this year to handle specification, supply and integrator support across the region. The show is the first chance for most integrators in the UAE to meet them with the products in the room. See the appointment announcement for territory and contact details.
What to bring
The most useful visits are the ones that arrive with a real room. Three things make a demonstration on the stand worth your time:
- A floor plan, even a rough one, with the ceiling height and the wall construction — plasterboard on studs, block, or a finished feature wall that cannot be cut.
- The listening positions: a sofa, a dining table, a bar, a cinema row. Coverage is designed around where people sit, not around the room's centre.
- The source and control system already specified, if there is one. Every XSCACE amplifier accepts a line-level input and the Air Mini is an AirPlay 2 and Spotify Connect target, so the rest of the system does not have to change.
With those in hand, the team can place the speakers on the plan in the Floorplan Sound Simulation tool while you watch, read the predicted coverage, and produce a bill of quantities for the project before you leave the stand.
The rooms XSCACE is built for
A Gulf villa tends to have two problems a conventional speaker cannot solve. The first is the feature wall: marble, bookmatched veneer or a full-height stone panel that the client will not have cut. The Slim Array speakers mount on the surface at 21 to 24 mm and read as a shadow line rather than a box; the Cane is the one most often specified for it.
The second is the ceiling void. Many builds have shallow services zones that rule out a deep in-ceiling speaker, which is what the in-ceiling family was designed around. Bass comes from an Acacia subwoofer placed where the room allows, with the crossover, delay and level set in XSCACE Studio rather than by trial and error.
Both are easier to judge in person than on a spec sheet, which is what the stand is for.
Who Miantic AV MENA are
Miantic AV MENA is a Dubai-based AV distributor operating from Silicon Oasis. For XSCACE they handle specification support, stock, integrator training and after-sales across the Middle East and North Africa, so a project in Riyadh, Doha or Cairo is supplied and supported from the region. Their brands page lists XSCACE alongside the rest of their portfolio.
Book a slot
Walk-ins are welcome across all three days. If you are bringing a project — a floor plan, a room, a spec to match — email support@xscace.com or contact Miantic through miantic.ae ahead of the show and a slot will be held for you on the stand, with the right products set up before you arrive.
Cannot make it to Dubai? The whole range can be modelled on your own floor plan in the free Floorplan Sound Simulation tool, and every product page carries a brochure, a spec sheet and an installation guide.
XSCACE at shows
XSCACE has shown at CEDIA Expo, ISE and Smart Expo in previous years; the show history lists them. Dubai joins that list this September.
