Welcome, welcome to rAVe Rental [and Staging]! (In case you got lost and forgot where you are and what you’re reading!) Imagine me welcoming you to this issue like this if you’d like.
I have all the columns you could ever hope for today. For starters, we have the much-anticipated Kayye’s Krystal Ball column — where our very own Gary Kayye delivers his annual predictions for our industry. It’s like calling a very niche phone psychic who’s actually right about things and who won’t charge you a dime! Also, we have a really great column from Joel Rollins — because you never knew how similar CRMs are to dating apps. Or how similar they truly could be. It’ll give you a good laugh while also providing some food for thought, so go! Read like the wind! We also have a column from Dr. Fred Ampel on the rules of sound system implementation/design and one from Scott Tiner on how you, yes you! can go zero to hero and reach new customers!
In other news, Leyard Planar came through with a 0.6-mm 8K display, L-Acoustics has an install-specific amplified controller, Environmental Lights released five-in-one LED light sheets, and more!
Enjoy, #AVtweeps!
