In case you missed it: we spent an episode explaining why your AV system may not be “haunted” so much as “terminated by someone with dangerous confidence.” 👻🔌
Neutrik FAST training, cable horror stories, and Layer 1 therapy await. 🎧

Soldering. RJ45s. Fiber. Connectors stacked like archaeological evidence. 🧰🦴
The AV SuperFriends are joined by Stacy Kaskon and Brant Mathiason from Neutrik to talk about the lost art of doing Layer 1 correctly. Shocking concept, we know. ⚡

Layer 1 is where AV dreams either come true… or die behind a rack because someone trusted a discount connector. 🔌🔥
This week on Off the Rails, we talk Neutrik FAST training, bad terminations, pickup-truck fiber pulls, and why programming won’t fix your cursed cable. 😬

[AVSuperfriends @AVSuperfriends]

ICYMI: We talked AV project starts, ticketing systems, TeamDynamix, ServiceNow, Planner, facilities handoffs, and why “just replace the projector” is how buildings get renovated. 🏗️🎥

You skipped our NWMET road-show episode? Bold choice. 😑
We covered cloud signage, dying Android appliances, AI sessions, accessibility, massive displays, USB widgetry, and one speaker setup that may require clergy.
Fix your priorities. 🎧

What’s the difference between a support ticket, an incident, a request, a problem, and a project?
Apparently: paperwork, vibes, and whether someone has to touch DSP programming. 🎛️📋
New AVSF On Topic is all about project intake chaos in higher ed AV.

🎙️ New episode of AVSF: On Topic!
This month: how AV projects supposedly start vs. how they actually start.
Spoiler: one involves intake forms, scope, funding, and stakeholders.
The other starts with “quick question…” and ends in electrical work. ⚡🫠

🚨 New Off the Rails is here!
We broadcast live-ish from NWMET in Salt Lake City with too many laptops, too many cables, and exactly the right amount of bad decisions.

🚨 IN CASE YOU MISSED IT 🚨
We spent an episode discussing the cursed spaces that are classrooms, event venues, meeting rooms, and “not our problem” all at once. 🏫🎤🔥
It’s AV support limbo, now with more lectern resentment.
