rAVe HomeAV Edition — Volume 20, Issue 14

July 26, 2023 | Volume: 20 | Issue: 14

Howdy, folks! I’m back in your inboxes with the latest news of the past two weeks, and that means everything from a new 8K AVR from Denon to brand-new Tempest enclosures for Epson projectors.

Lee Distad wrote our featured column this time, all about the importance of measuring twice (and cutting once). But he adds a few more steps and gives a real-life scenario of why that’s a good idea.

P.S. Will we see you at CEDIA Expo? Come on out to Denver Sept. 7-9 for the latest and greatest in residential technology — use code “RAVECE23” for a free show floor pass. Can’t wait to see you there!

You make initial estimates for your wire runs, equipment locations, etc. Then, you get to the site and myriad surprises await you.
