Control4 Partner of the Year 2026
The team at New Wave AV is delighted to share our success at the Control4 Partner Awards, held at ISE 2026 in February. For the second consecutive year, our team walked away with both the Control4 Top Volume Dealer (EMEA) Award and one of the prestigious Control4 Partner of the Year (EMEA) Awards.
The Control4 awards, hosted by ADI | Snap One, recognise the commitment of the brand’s partners, acknowledging their customer-focused approach and high-quality installations. Taking home both awards for the second time demonstrates the high standards that New Wave AV continually upholds and our dedication to customer support.
New Wave AV founder, Kevin Whysall, said, “We are thrilled to have been awarded ‘Top Volume Dealer’ in Europe again in 2026. The award really showcases our commitment to Control4 led designs that deliver the functionality our customers require. Being named ‘Control4 Partner of the Year’ in the Southern region for another year highlights the quality of our work and the level of support we provide.
“Our Kent and Surrey teams work tirelessly to deliver innovative solutions, no matter how challenging the project or how specific the needs. These awards are a recognition of their dedication and an acknowledgement of all the customers who trust us to transform their homes.”
What is ISE?
Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) is one of the world’s foremost audio-visual and systems integration exhibitions, showcasing innovations in AV technology, lighting, digital signage and more. The event returned to Fira de Barcelona Gran Via from 3-6 February 2026, and attracted global entities such as Canon, ADI and L-Acoustics. It has become a platform for product launches, keynote speeches, demonstrations and more, offering attendees the chance to discover what is becoming possible in the industry.
Control4 evolution
New Wave AV has been a Control4 Partner for over 20 years, and our team has watched the technology evolve into a more streamlined, user-friendly system. In 2025, Control4 X4 was launched, creating a smarter, more intuitive system for homeowners that has the capacity to grow with them.
New Wave AV has been championing this new product, delivering its benefits to households across Kent, Surrey, Sussex and London. With its fresh design and personalisation tools, this intelligent, adaptable system empowers users to implement and adjust automations with greater ease.
While the aim of Control4 X4 is to enable homeowners to use the system with less support, New Wave AV is always on hand to talk our customers through any steps or functions they require help with. It’s our commitment to both high-quality installation and exceptional service that sets us apart from other Control4 Dealers in the area, and has once again earned us the Control4 Partner of the Year Award for the Southern region.
