Latest headlines: Scott Tiner on navigating the ethical dilemmas in AV design, plus news from Shure, K-array, NTI and more

rAVe Education Edition

In May, we had a scandal down the road from us in Chapel Hill — UNC admins reportedly recorded an instructor without their consent. While secret recording is not illegal in North Carolina, it does bring up a lot of ethical questions. Scott Tiner ponders those in this blog, and I do think he brings up good points worthy of consideration for all.


Also, as I’m sure you can tell, the rAVe team is prepping for ISE 2025. If you’re joining us in Barcelona and still need entrance onto the show floor, use code “RAVEPUBS.” But if you won’t be attending this year, you can still follow along at ravepubs.com/ise, where all our show content will live. We’ve already begun populating the site. Check it out!
