The Essential Install Podcast Essential Install

With this podcast we are concentrating on lighting, as we are joined by the award winning Rako Controls the UK’s leading smart lighting controls manufacturer, who recently picked up awards at the Smart Building awards for the “Best Lighting control” and to add to that Rako won the “Best Hardware” category award at the recent CEDIA EMEA awards, for their modular WK-MOD and RK-MOD keypads.

To the AV integrator, power is everything. 

The connection of a system to the mains fires up all sorts of solutions, from lighting and HAVAC through to cinema and music. But how much attention do we actually give to the power source? 

All it takes is a spike in power or power cut and all of the integrators hard-earned work requires service visits and, at worst, swapping out of kit. So, to discuss this important topic we are joined by Philipp Gude of GUDE Systems.

This podcast focuses on Snap One. This is a culmination of SnapAV and Control4 rebranding as Snap One just over a year ago. The rebranding and general marketing for a company the size of Snap One is a mammoth task: hear how they are achieving this and where Snap One are now.

This podcast is Part 2 - given that Chris Pinder has now completed the Marathon des Sables, this extreme effort was undertaken to raise money for a very worthy cause in the shape of the industry initiative Together for Cinema.

It’s a fascinating listen hearing how Chris ran through blistering heat and blistering feet and completed the 250km race!
