I was dreaming when I wrote this; forgive me if it goes astray.
Some of the goodness in this week’s ProAV newsletter includes: an exclusive re-publishing of “The Not So Selfish Gene” by Julian Philips of AVI-SPL; more legal drama between Shure and ClearOne; plus, all the product news you could ever dream of. Because I like to organize things, this is how I decided to categorize your preview to this week’s show:
- New product releases/upgrades/offerings: EvertzAV, T1V, Almo Pro A/V, VESA, IHSE, TASCAM, Extron, NanoLumens, MSE Audio, AmpliVox Sound Systems, ***pauses for air*** Screen Innovations, QSC, disguise, CTOUCH, Ross Video, 1 Beyond, ShowMeCables and Atomos, Kaltura
- Mergers & acquisitions: Listen Technologies bought ExXothermic
- Management changes: Steve Durkee to lead Legrand | AV; Jon Sidwick (aka Jeff Bezos’ stunt double) to leave Maverick AV
- Industry highlights: Almo to host its E4 Experience virtually this May; USAV adds new integrators
As you can see, the AV industry is not snoozing. AND, per my intro to this intro, we have a story with a headline I quite like, “AMC Theatres is Threatening Universal Studios
Like it’s 1999.” If you got the reference at the top, let me know on social media.
