The late 90’s marked a revolutionary new advancement in display technology—LED (Light Emitting Diodes). Since the 90’s, LED tech has come a long way. In fact today’s guest, Mitch Rosenberg, Senior Director of Sales at Absen LED with 30 years of experience in LED tech, explains how “LED is still very much a growing product.” On this AV podcast we dive into LED’s: where it all began, and where Mitchell sees LED tech headed in the future.

When LED’s first entered the scene the panels and displays were expensive, available only to those with deep pockets. Mitchell explains how as LED tech evolved, the price dropped and the technology became more accessible to the public: “Pixels got tighter, prices started plummeting, resolution increased, longevity got better, light output got better, weight went down…” Today, LED’s are found in our at-home TV’s, and the industry industry itself has grown into a 3.7 billion dollar business.

Although LED tech can be visually astonishing, Mitchell says the technology is wasted if there is not incredible content to match. “If you don’t have a budget for content, you’re buying a giant TV,” Mitchell tells his clients. “LED is merely a display product,” says Mitchell. It’s what you do with this display product that wows customers and bolsters a company’s brand.

LED is not done evolving. The technology is becoming stronger and more resilient to human handling, moving away from the fragile piece of tech it once was. On this podcast, Mitchell divulges his insight on what dramatic changes he foresees shaking up the market, and what that looks like for business and consumers.

JBL 3 Series MkIII monitors add VESA-pattern inserts for wall and ceiling installs

JBL 3 Series MkIII monitors add VESA-pattern inserts for wall and ceiling installs

JBL Professional's 3 Series MkIII monitors add eight VESA-pattern mounting points and a subwoofer that defers to external bass management. That combination makes a desktop monitor line practical for wall, ceiling and immersive rooms. North America ships January 7, 2027.

  • 01Eight M4 inserts in a 75 × 75 mm VESA pattern are intended to enable wall, ceiling, stand and monitor-arm mounting, making surround and overhead layouts a more practical extension of the 3 Series MkIII.
  • 02The 310S MkIII subwoofer's external crossover bypass decides who owns bass management, and that choice belongs in the room design before anything is ordered.
  • 03North American availability starts January 7, 2027, more than two months after Asia-Pacific and EMEA, so Q1 installs specified now carry a delivery date with them.

How Bose’s MA3 micro array uses splay to keep sound off ceilings

How Bose’s MA3 micro array uses splay to keep sound off ceilings

Bose Professional introduced the MA3 Micro Array, a passive modular micro line array whose 3.5 kg modules can be splayed to keep energy off reflective ceilings. The design work shifts to the integrator: splay angles, amplifier loading/protection and Bose’s recommended 70 Hz high-pass filter are key choices. Bose lists houses of worship, multipurpose rooms, corporate spaces and education/government venues among its targets.

  • 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.
