rAVe ProAV Edition

It’s my favorite time of year, but I think I told you that last time. While I do have bronchitis, I also have the comfort of ingredients for 12 different soups, “Halloweentown” ready to go on the TV, and a menagerie of sweaters that I am finally going to be able to break out and wear as it’s finally starting to cool down a little bit in North Carolina.


Anyway, let’s talk about AV. I really love David Danto’s latest column all about the Sphere. I think this is one of the first things I’ve read about it that wasn’t entirely positive. But he brings up some good points: Is the Sphere as futuristic as it seems? Is it immersive or is it just a ton of technology put together in one place? Read more here.


Also don’t miss the latest news — we have everything you need to know about Acuity’s recent acquisition of QSC, Shure’s new wireless in-ear monitoring solution and more.


Happy Reading!
