GluDown® DB Tacky Adhesive

is a high-yield, pressure-sensitive adhesive specifically formulated for bonding waterproofing materials such as drainage boards, peel-and-stick membranes, and concrete surfaces. Its formulation ensures an extended open time of approximately 30 minutes, allowing for flexibility during application. The adhesive becomes ready for bonding in about one minute, achieving a tacky state that facilitates an aggressive, instant bond. It is available in 30 lb canisters, each providing coverage of approximately 1,549 square feet when applied at a rate of 2.0 grams per square foot. For optimal results, surfaces should be clean and free from debris before application, and the adhesive should be allowed to flash off until tacky prior to bonding materials. This product is suitable for use in temperatures ranging from 40°F to 100°F.

How Bose Professional's 3.5 kg MA3 aims sound away from echoey ceilings

How Bose Professional's 3.5 kg MA3 aims sound away from echoey ceilings

Bose Professional launched the MA3 Micro Array, a passive modular speaker whose 3.5 kg boxes are angled to keep sound off echoey ceilings. Coverage control moves into the integrator's design. Splay angles, amplifier choice and a recommended 70 Hz high-pass filter decide results in houses of worship, classrooms and corporate rooms.

  • 01Each MA3 module covers just 5° vertically, so the angles set between boxes become the main control for keeping sound off reflective ceilings in reverberant rooms.
  • 02For a head-to-head spec review, ask for high-frequency vertical off-axis data: the MA3 and Martin Audio O-Line share 100° × 5° nominal coverage but use very different tweeter designs.

NTT DATA’s MRaaS spans design, support and recycling across the room lifecycle

NTT DATA’s MRaaS spans design, support and recycling across the room lifecycle

NTT DATA's Meeting Room as a Service brings room design, procurement, monitoring, support, refresh and recycling together under one model. Its Aon project in Brazil tripled videoconferencing capacity and lifted client meetings 50% over two years.

  • 01When a room fails, people tend to move rather than report it, so service desk tickets often miss the rooms that are actually broken. Centralized monitoring targets that gap.
  • 02Aon’s Brazil project tripled videoconferencing capacity and raised client meetings 50% over two years. It’s a vendor-reported reference point buyers can use when asking providers for comparable results.
  • 03The case for one lifecycle contract is strongest where each country picked its own vendors and integrators. A company that only needs utilization data can buy room analytics software without handing over the whole lifecycle.

AVIXA hands the CEO job to Informa tech events chief Marco Pardi

AVIXA hands the CEO job to Informa tech events chief Marco Pardi

AVIXA named Marco Pardi, President of the Tech Events portfolio at Informa, as CEO starting January 1, 2027. He succeeds David Labuskes. Pardi's background running IT shows suggests AV's overlap with IT will keep getting attention, though AVIXA has not committed to that. Watch AVIXA's 2027 show calendar and course catalog.

  • 01AVIXA's events and learning audiences overlap with incoming CEO Marco Pardi's experience; audience counts alone do not explain the board's priorities.
  • 02One read on the hire is whether IT-crossover training like Glass to Glass expands under Pardi.
