Summer days driftin’ away… but that doesn’t stop the new products from rollin in!
Safe to say for a lot of us, July was a busy month! Tons of our brand partners released new products and software updates, and we stayed busy crafting new videos and demoing gear. Here’s a look at all the Audio Biz happenings from July, and what we are looking forward to in August (you might be surprised to find it’s not the late summer humidity).
Shure announced the release of Stem Firmware Update 2.4.2 and barco clickshare certification
This update began it’s rollout on July 26th, and will be widely available in the coming weeks. The update includes improved microphone performance for a better far-end experience, updated branding, faster boot up time and more. Read more about it here.
Shure also announced that Stem Ecosystem now has Barco ClickShare certification which eliminates the need for you to rewire the entire conferencing system every time a new user needs to use the conference room, giving any meeting space the flexibility to let a presenter BYOD for video conferencing and content sharing.
