What if one of the biggest upgrades to your system wasn’t a new amp, speaker, or camera… but the power feeding it?
Yep — in this episode, we sit down with Wade Bussey from Furman and Panamax to talk about the part of AV everyone forgets until something goes wrong.

Wade walks us through why clean power can make your audio feel more open, your video look sharper, and your network way less moody. We get into noise floor (the silent troublemaker), why quick burst current actually matters for music, and how wideband filtration keeps today’s digital gear from freaking out.

We also dig into BlueBOLT, which basically lets your rack fix itself when things go sideways. No more weekend “my system died” calls.
Plus, we hit on the “circle of protection” — AC, coax, and telco — and why it matters more than ever in real homes and real installs.

If you’ve ever heard a system suddenly “breathe” after adding a conditioner, this episode is going to click instantly.
Grab a coffee, plug in, and enjoy the chat.

In this episode, we pull back the curtain on the AV supply chain and explore how a modern distributor creates real value—service, strategy, support, and technical depth—not just logistics.

We walk through the roles of manufacturers, distributors, integrators, and end users, then dig into what separates simple “box moving” from true master distribution: repairs and fast turnaround, market compliance, bilingual marketing, brand management, and the ability to support dealers with real technical expertise.

We also break down the Canadian AV landscape, the impact of the Amazon effect on speed and stock visibility, and why training, networking skills, and Plus services help resellers scale into AV over IP, Dante, and modern installs with confidence.

We wrap with a great reminder that watts don’t tell the whole story—and why the right distributor helps guide customers to the right solution, not just the biggest spec.

Curiosity built our careers long before we had the job titles to match. We trace three winding routes into pro audio, video, and system integration—through tape machines and DAWs, car audio and DJ gigs, retail aisles and distribution counters—and unpack how those hands‑on reps turned into real judgment. No straight lines here; just a lot of doing, failing, and learning until the signal path made sense and the room sounded right.

We compare the power of analog habits in a digital world, why Pro Tools HD once cost as much as a car, and how native processing and Intel Macs reshaped post‑production workflows. We break down what a distributor actually does in the AV supply chain, the leap from sales to system design, and the everyday math of impedance, gain staging, codecs, frame rates, and sync. Along the way, we talk brand management, entrepreneurship, and the reality of building a career that mixes weekday corporate work with weekend shows—plus the mentors and 4 a.m. cable calls that quietly change everything.

The heart of it is skill stacking and translation. Audio literacy elevates camera and streaming results. Video fluency prevents downstream headaches. Networking basics—DHCP, VLANs, and sensible IoT isolation—turn DIY rigs into stable systems. System design rarely has one “right” answer; it’s about trading constraints with clients in clear language and hitting the brief without overcomplicating the rack. The spark for this show came from a lunch that spiraled into CCTV and routers, and we realized our best conversations happen where specialties overlap and it’s safe to ask “obvious” questions.

If you’re AV‑curious or already knee‑deep in cables, this origin story sets the tone: honest, practical, and focused on the work. Hit follow, share with a teammate who loves good signal flow, and drop your biggest early lesson—we’ll feature listener questions in future episodes.
