Sometimes AV is Better Left Unseen | AVWeek 754
Mon Feb 02 2026
AV's normally all about showing off the cool tech we put into spaces. But is it worth it to the clients to see how the sausage is made? We look into making AV invisible and how that benefits both client and integrator. Plus, artificial intelligence is making RAM prices skyrocket. But we need those chips to make our own gear! Where's the line before this gets well out of hand?

Even before we hit the show floor in Barcelona, there's plenty of AV news to go around! While Tim is gearing up for Integrated Systems Europe 2026, Patrick Norton takes the helm to get you the latest stories surrounding our industry.
