These spotlights have introduced you to the members of our team over the past year and a half. We think it’s important that you have the opportunity to know a little about the people that make up our company and our products. We’re all passionate about audio and we all are extremely specialized in our roles. And each of these roles work together, not only in the sense of running a business, but also on a intimate, personal level each and every day. We have a unique team in a unique situation. If you haven’t gotten familiar with our team members yet, you can hear from each of them in our Employee Spotlight blog segment.

But today, we’re going to introduce you to someone who likely doesn’t need an introduction. This is the person who imagined our company and brought it to life. Today, we are proud to dive a bit deeper with our Founder & CEO, Blake Augsburger

Our CONNECTSERIES amplifiers are intentionally designed with no front panel knobs, buttons, or controls. The reason for this was to maintain a sleek and industrial design while also preventing any unwanted tampering or adjustments to the user settings. However, we did want the front panel to include an array of information that would help installers quickly check the status of their units. One of those status features is the actual Shark Fin logo itself. The Shark Fin logo located on the front panel of the amplifier changes between four main colors, each of which indicates a different amplifier state. The Shark Fin logo will illuminate GREEN when AC power is plugged in but the unit is off, BLUE when the unit is on, CYAN when the units is undergoing a factory reset, and MAGENTA when the unit is undergoing a firmware update.

Let’s dive in and take a closer look at each of these states…

Ok, so you’ve got a new AV project. You’re in the system design process and you need to decide what gear you’ll need for the install. You’ve probably got your go-to brands and makes and models that you’ve used a hundred times. They’re predictable, your comfortable installing them, your comfortable configuring them, and you’re happy with the end result. But, chances are, you’re settling for less. If given the option, why not choose a product that is just as easy (or easier) to install, configure, and maintain but with the added benefit of making you more money? That is the true advantage of choosing IoT AV devices.

You’re probably using IoT products on a daily basis at home. Maybe your toothbrush sends data to the cloud, you might check the video feed from your doorbell on your phone, or maybe you remotely control your home’s lights or thermostat when your away on vacation.
