Happy Tuesday, Rental and Staging AV pros and fans! This newsletter has some great product news and case studies that you won’t want to miss. Product news-wise, I found the Marshall Electronics Global Shutter Cameras very interesting. There’s also a super neat case study about projection mapping at the Rock Of Gibraltar (yeah, I’d never heard of it either) — check it out below!

In other words, in our first column, “Professional Power Amplifiers — A Market In Recovery,” James Kirby gives a rundown of the recovering amplifier market. The good news is, the market has seen a growing sense of stability so far this year. The market will hopefully continue to recover as live music and events come back.

In “Navigating the Rebound — Lead Times, Deadlines and Price Increases,” Mark Coxon talks the importance of honesty with clients. The pandemic greatly affected the supply chain, therefore slowing down project progress in many facets. I think you’ll find his breakdown of how to tell clients about these obstacles very useful!

Find all this and more in this newsletter. I hope you have a week filled with all things audiovisual. I’ll see you next time!

+ Professional Power Amplifiers — A Market in Recovery [James Kirby]

Despite the rise of powered speakers, the amplifiers market has continued to see regular replacements and new opportunities over recent years, driven by innovation and demand at a macro level. However, moving into 2020, the entire professional audio market was severely affected by the outbreak of COVID-19. The professional amplifiers market itself experienced significant losses, with rates of decline well into double figures. Despite this decline, there remained some key areas of positivity and stability throughout the crisis and full market recovery to 2019 levels is expected over the coming years.

+ Navigating the Rebound — Lead Times, Deadlines and Price Increases [Mark Coxon]

I’ve been talking to quite a few integrators lately and the good news is that there seems to be a large backlog of projects coming back online. As exciting as that is, the past 15 months are still creating shockwaves that mean for most integrators, these projects are potentially going to be a lot less profitable than they were at the time they were bid and awarded. Why is that? It comes down to Lead Times, Deadlines and Price Increases.
