Nice Celebrates Industry-Leading Innovation with Five Major Smart Home Awards this Fall

At Nice, innovation is not just a buzzword—it’s the foundation of everything we do. This year, we are honored to be recognized by some of the most respected voices in the smart home industry. Across both hardware and software categories, Nice and our brands—including Furman and Panamax—have been awarded for engineering excellence, design innovation, and industry impact.

Double Induction into the 2025 CEDIA Product Hall of Fame

Two of our most influential products have been inducted into the CEDIA Product Hall of Fame, an accolade reserved for technologies that have made a lasting impact on the custom integration industry.

• Furman IT-Reference 20i – Discrete Symmetrical Power Filter, 20 Amp Recognized for its unmatched ability to deliver clean, stable, and protected AC power, the IT-Reference 20i is a cornerstone for high-performance home theater and professional A/V systems. With balanced power, Power Factor Technology, and hospital-grade construction, it transforms A/V setups with deeper bass, crisper visuals, and noise-free performance.
• Panamax M4315-PRO – Intelligent Power Management Designed for smart homes and professional installations, the M4315-PRO combines advanced power protection, noise filtration, and cloud-based control via BlueBOLT®. Its outlet-level energy management and built-in AVM safeguard even the most sensitive components—making it a favorite among integrators seeking reliability, control, and simplicity.

Both products are now permanently enshrined in the Hall of Fame for their lasting value to CEDIA members and the broader home technology community.
