THE CORRIDOR OF SOUND!
Up in the tower of the Sydney Central Hotel, the Show takes a full floor of accommodation rooms and strips out the furniture to create a corridor with magical music behind every door. These rooms resemble (roughly) a real listening room in the home, so it's a chance to hear multiple systems performing as they might when you take them home. Behind the doors of the corridor of sound, you will find wonders from:

Audio Marketing including Musical Fidelity & Triangle – Corridor of Sound, Room 2

Microphase Audio Design – Corridor of Sound, Room 3

SpectraFlora – Corridor of Sound, Room 7

Serhan Swift – Corridor of Sound, Room 8

Yamaha Music Australia – Corridor of Sound, Room 11

Harman brands formerly from Masimo – Corridor of Sound, Room 12

March Audio – Corridor of Sound, Room 18

Richter – Corridor of Sound, Room 19

DAN-A – Corridor of Sound, Room 20

Magenta Audio Corridor of Sound, Room 21

The Show is all just a short walk from Sydney's Central Station in an easily accessible CBD location right in the heart of the city, and surrounded by incredible food!

So mark your calendars now for:
- The Australian Hi-Fi Show Sydney 2026
- Friday 1st, Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd May 2026
- Sydney Central Hotel, in Thomas St, Haymarket, right in the heart of the city.
