Coastal Source, designer and manufacturer of high-performance outdoor audio, lighting and power solutions, will take its latest innovations on the road with a nationwide 2026 Road Tour, bringing hands-on demonstrations, new product introductions and interactive system design tools directly to dealers across the country.
Running from May through July, the Coastal Source Road Tour will visit major markets across the U.S., including stops in the Northeast, Midwest, Southeast, Texas, Mountain West and West Coast. It will highlight major additions across the Coastal Source ecosystem, including new EVO and VIA lighting solutions, the 1000 Series Bollards, expanded outdoor audio offerings and the introduction of PowerSource, a plug-and-play outdoor power distribution system designed to simplify installation and improve system performance. The tour will also introduce the Coastal Source Design Studio, an interactive platform that streamlines system design and presentation for dealers.
“Dealers are being asked to design more complex outdoor environments than ever before,” said Coastal Source vice president of sales Pete Sepesi. “This tour is about giving them the tools and technology to do that faster, present more effectively and ultimately win more business.”
As part of the tour, Coastal Source will debut PowerSource, a dedicated outdoor power solution designed to bring greater structure and consistency to how systems are deployed in the field. By standardizing power distribution with a plug-and-play approach, it reduces the need for custom electrical work while creating a more stable foundation for long-term system performance, according to the company.
The audio lineup includes the 1000 Series Bollards alongside the latest Ovation, Pathfinder, Cube and Contour outdoor speakers, offering greater flexibility in system layout while maintaining consistent tonal balance and durability in demanding outdoor environments. In lighting, attendees will experience the continued evolution of the EVO platform, while also getting a look at VIA, Coastal Source’s new fixture line developed in collaboration with Lutron through its Native by Design program, bringing advanced intelligent lighting control, tunable illumination and indoor-outdoor integration to outdoor architectural and landscape applications.
A central focus will be the new Coastal Source Design Studio, replacing the company’s traditional Design Services program with a faster, more powerful and fully interactive approach to system design. By combining intelligent tools, advanced visualization and direct access to Coastal Source expertise, the Design Studio enables dealers to design more complex outdoor environments with greater speed and precision — while presenting those concepts to clients in a way that is clearer, more compelling and easier to win.
Coastal Source stated these solutions create a more unified approach to outdoor system design, helping dealers simplify specification, installation and long-term performance.
“The goal is to remove friction from the entire process,” said Sepesi. “From design through installation, we’re making it easier for our dealers to take on larger projects and deliver better results.”
