Bigger isn’t always better when it comes to conference room technology.

We often see organizations overspend on features they’ll never use, while missing the things that matter most day-to-day: clear audio, simple controls, and layouts that match how teams actually meet.

At AV Planners, we focus on:
✔️ Designing systems that fit the room size and usage
✔️ Prioritizing what improves meetings most
✔️ Avoiding unnecessary complexity
✔️ Planning for long-term support and scalability

The result? Spaces that feel effortless to use and budgets that deliver the biggest impact.

Thinking about upgrading a meeting room this year? Let’s right-size it from the start. https://na2.hubs.ly/H03zbzV0

When you walk into a meeting room, the technology shouldn’t be the first thing you notice. Great sound should just… work.

That’s why we’re excited about the Shure MXN-6 pendant speaker, designed for modern workplaces such as boardrooms, training rooms, open collaboration areas, and hybrid meeting spaces where clear speech is essential.

Instead of bulky wall speakers or cluttered ceilings, the MXN-6 hangs neatly overhead and blends into the room design, while helping everyone hear and be heard, whether they’re in the space or joining remotely.

Why clients love solutions like this:
✔️ Conversations feel natural and effortless
✔️ Remote participants hear every word
✔️ Clean, modern room aesthetics
✔️ Less visible hardware, less distraction
✔️ Built for everyday meetings, not just big presentations

At AV Planners, we help organizations design spaces that are simple to use, look great, and support how teams actually work, from huddle rooms to large conference environments.

If you’re planning a refresh of your meeting spaces in 2026, let’s discuss audio that keeps everyone connected.

Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) is one of the world's largest events for workplace technology, collaboration tools, and immersive experiences. Every year, it’s where manufacturers roll out what’s next for offices, training rooms, and customer-facing spaces.

Why does that matter to you? Because what we see there directly shapes how we design and recommend AV solutions for our clients.

This year, we’re paying close attention to:

✔️ Room designs that are simpler and easier for teams to use
✔️ Cameras and audio that make hybrid meetings feel more human
✔️ Displays that deliver impact without high operating costs
✔️ Systems built for long-term reliability and support

We’re not there to chase flashy trends — we’re there to bring back practical ideas that make your spaces work better today and stay ready for tomorrow.

In February, we’ll share the ISE products and innovations we’re most excited about. Stay tuned.

Most meeting room issues aren’t about the technology — they’re about the decisions made before it’s installed.

1. Focusing on video and ignoring audio
✔️ If people can’t hear clearly, nothing else matters.

2. Using the same camera in every room
✔️ Different rooms need different camera strategies. One size rarely fits all

3. Making the system too complicated
✔️ If it needs instructions, it won’t get used properly.

4. Designing for in-person meetings only
✔️ Hybrid is the default now. Rooms need to work equally well for remote and in-room participants.

5. No plan for ongoing support
✔️ Without maintenance and monitoring, even good systems slowly fail.

At AV Planners, we design meeting rooms that are simple, reliable, and built to last.

If you’re planning upgrades this year, fixing these mistakes early makes all the difference. Contact us to avoid making these mistakes: https://na2.hubs.ly/H03g1KR0

Hybrid meetings shouldn’t feel… hybrid.

If your team is split between the room and the screen, everyone deserves an equal seat at the table. Neat Center is designed to do exactly that, capturing voices and faces from every angle so remote participants feel fully included, not like they’re watching from the sidelines.

For you, this means:

✔️Conversations feel more natural and balanced
✔️Everyone is seen and heard, no matter where they sit
✔️Less meeting fatigue, more real engagement
✔️A room that just works without complicated controls

At AV Planners, we help clients design collaboration spaces that support how people actually work today — in-person, remote, and everywhere in between. Solutions like Neat Center help close the gap and create meetings people actually want to attend.

If you’re rethinking your meeting rooms for 2026, let’s talk about building spaces that put people, not technology, first.

We just wrapped up an upgrade to a flagship conference room for a leading Los Angeles-based accounting and advisory firm, and the space turned out great. We kept their existing 98" Sony display and built a brand-new AV system around it that’s cleaner, faster, and far easier for their team to use.

The room now runs on a full Q-SYS platform with dual PTZ cameras, Shure table microphones, pendant speakers, and multiple HDMI connection points at the table. Everything routes through the Q-SYS Core, so switching between video calls, presentations, and cable TV is smooth and instant.

We also added a 10" touch panel with a simple, custom interface, so anyone can walk in and run the room without needing support. Behind the scenes, we rebuilt the rack, added proper cooling and power management, and installed a managed PoE++ switch to support the entire system.

If you’re looking to refresh your meeting spaces in 2026, we’d love to help you plan the right setup. https://na2.hubs.ly/H033s7T0

Meet the Q-SYS NC-Pro15x — a 4K PTZ camera built by Canon and designed for modern meeting and event spaces.

With 15× optical zoom, a large 1" sensor, and fast, accurate autofocus, it delivers clear, natural video whether you’re running a boardroom meeting, training session, or all-hands town hall.

Because it’s natively integrated with Q-SYS, one network cable handles power, video, and control. That means fewer boxes, less clutter, and a system that’s easy to scale across rooms.

It works seamlessly with Zoom, Teams, and live streaming, so your people always look and sound professional — without anyone having to think about the tech.
