AV Nightmares: July 11th

When AV applications are implemented into a space well, they can blend in as if the room was designed around it. When done wrong, those rooms may never look the same again, if they are habitable at all. We highlighted some of the AV industries lowlights in this week’s AV nightmares.

If you have ever experienced a situation like this, first, we apologize. But make sure to tweet photos of it to @proavmkt to be featured in our next post!

December 3, 2025

Patients shouldn’t have to become their own case managers just to access a hip replacement, transplant, or any other life-changing procedure; the moment they’re pushed into a paperwork fight, the system has already shifted its burden onto the sick.
