SnapAV, one of the largest suppliers of key integration products in the industry, offers multiple house-owned brands of goods in multiple product categories to meet the needs of integrators around the globe.

As part of this event, the company has launched an impressive roster of products that spans the large SnapAV universe. In this post, I will give you a brief overview of the new models launched.
