April 13, 2023 | Volume: 20 | Issue: 7

 

Happy April, #AVtweeps. What is there to look forward to during this lovely month? For one, it was my birthday last week. But another is that all the episodes of The Snap One Files are now available on our website. So sit back, relax and spend some time learning a little more about everything that Snap One does. You might be surprised at what you find out!

Another exciting thing: A new column from Lee Distad! This time, Lee writes all about serviceability. He even offers a few “AV Install Nightmares” to remind us that when it comes to product design and installation, serviceability should be taken more into consideration.

Finally, don’t forget to fill out our April Temperature Check survey. We ask you a few questions about sustainability — these surveys are vital for us to determine where our industry stands on different issues — and in return, you could win one of two $50 Amazon gift cards. Plus, the survey takes less than five minutes to complete!

Have a great rest of the week and weekend!

COLUMNS

 

+ Who Needs Serviceability Anyway? [Lee Distad]

Readers may know that one of my favorite Facebook groups is “AV Install Nightmares,” where industry pros post pics of horrible things they’ve encountered in their workday. Often, the backstory to these pics is that they “inherited” a project when the old contractor vanished/quit/got fired and now they must pick up the pieces and make it all work.
