Out Of Our Adolescence

What’s the anniversary gift for a number such as 300? Is it the fish-eye lens, as Matt might be getting into? He was looking a bit flatter last week during InfoComm 2021… Either way, we are here to look at the latest news coming out of the residential space of the AV industry. And with us to mark this momentous occasion is Southtown AV Owner Heather Sidorowicz, Thoughtful Integrations President Joe Whitaker and Principal of Fregosa Design Rich Fregosa.

Lutron has unveiled the RadioRA 3 wireless lighting control system. It has a brand new all-in-one processor powered over ethernet, new programming and is also backwards compatible with RA 2 and RA 2 Select.
