rAVe Live Events Edition

Hi everyone! HOW — may I ask — is it December!!! Where has this year gone? I feel like I was at ISE 2024 literally a month ago. But it just goes to show I have lived many lives in 2024. I’ve grown in my job and continued to learn more about the industry; I’ve attended as many trade shows and events as I could possibly squeeze in, and if this is what 2024 was like, I can’t wait to see what happens in 2025.

Speaking of, who’s attending LDI next week? Any of you? Will I see you in Las Vegas? And second of all, who’s attending ISE? Let me know! I would love to connect with as many of you as possible, even if it’s just briefly on the show floor.

Thanks for helping to make this year so spectacular!

December 2024 Temperature Check Survey — Now Open!

Hi everyone! We’ve made it to our very last Temperature Check Survey of 2024. This was a year of discovery and building anew. We learned about leveraging AI, meeting in new ways and whether or not we’re going fully back to the office, and we returned to trade shows. We have grown, and we have continued to make AV a better community for all those who join. So, for our final survey of the year, it’s a bit longer. But we want to know what this year was like for you and your companies.

Which Speaker is Louder? A Future #AVTweep’s Experiment

The purpose of my experiment was to determine how the number of windings in a voice coil affects the volume of a speaker. My hypothesis stated if there are more windings in a voice coil, then a speaker will output greater volume because there will be more electrical flow (current).
