Just some holiday advice from your friends at ProAudio Georgia:

If Santa (or anyone else) is bringing a video game console or computer this year, he should take it out of the box now and set it up. Specifically, he should do the following:
1) Connect it to your home's wifi. (Santa knows your password. It's part of his magic.)
2) Download all system updates. This may take several hours, so he should do it at night.
3) Set parental controls if the recipient is a kid.
4) Download at least one game, or put in a game disc so that it can download the content and any updates. This should also be done at night.
5) Charge the controllers or have batteries on hand. He should also do this for headsets and other accessories. (And he should remember that some high-end headsets may have software updates of their own to complete.)
6) Plug EVERYTHING into a surge protector. Santa does not want to ruin his vacation by trying to return a brand-new console that got fried by a power outage. Especially if it's a console that is already hard to find.

After Santa finishes this, he can pop it all back into the boxes for wrapping. Or he can connect it to the TV on Christmas Eve and have it ready to switch on that morning. (But he probably shouldn't wait until Christmas Eve to do the updates. He knows the servers can crash due to heavy demand and ruin that plan.) May all your video games be merry & bright!

If you run into a problem Santa can't fix, call ProAudio Georgia to get you through it ❤️💚❤💚

For 6 years I have been asking our friends at Josh.AI when they were going to include direct integration with RTI Control. They have avoided this task, and even as recently as a couple of months ago I was told this was not possible and wasn't on the roadmap. I completely understand why. It takes a lot of effort and time to ensure you are working properly with Control 4 and Crestron, and their resources have to be focused.
Well, I have a huge announcement to make for anyone that is currently using RTI as either the main control system or secondary control system at your company. With the amazing help of the Josh team and a couple of our fellow integrators, I have Josh working directly and reliably with RTI. No intensive R&D, no hours spent with the RTI engineers, no special rewriting of code, just a simple line of code and it works perfectly. It actually has been possible since 2019 and I am not sure why the Josh team didn't share it with us. I am not the first to do this but for some strange reason, it has been kept a secret.
I want to thank the Josh team for helping me through this process. Now I can spread the word and do my part to make sure the industry knows that Josh is one step closer to being agnostic when it comes to working with control systems. Have an amazing day my friends.

Breaking glass ceilings is a step towards shattering stereotypes.
Research tells us that after companies promote female leaders, women are more likely to be seen as competent and no less likely to be viewed as caring.

You can not empower women unless you give them power!

ProAudio Georgia and ProAudio Carolinas fully support our amazing female colleagues. Check them out at Women in AV These women work hard to bring amazing gifts and talents to our industry.
Thank you to all the powerful women in our industry and in our lives.

A little before and after on a clean-up and rework job in north Georgia.
The previous installer forgot to label the wires so our technicians had their work cut out for them.
In the end, the system is functioning properly and is no longer an eyesore.
Our technicians take pride in every aspect of the job, even the parts you may not see.

An amazing client asked for us to install TV's in their great room and Screen Porch. There were existing TV's that were much smaller and big speakers hanging beside the one on the porch. After a conversation about how they would use the system we decided to focus on amazing sound outside and amazing picture inside. A Totem Acoustics soundbar was installed with a 65" Sony LED on the porch. These two make a perfect pair as you can see with the sizes matching perfectly. Very few companies can compare to Totem Acoustics for music reproduction. The Great Room received a new 65" Sony OLED to accompany the existing Definitive Technology soundbar. No TV has ever produced a better picture than what the Sony delivers in their OLED. Another amazing project and very happy client.

How do you answer?

We all get asked this question. It's the question that has so many different answers and all of them are correct. Your answer depends on who is asking and for what reason. "What do you do?" In my case, the answers vary greatly. If I'm speaking to a potential client my answer may be "I make all of th...
