The next evolution of Shure’s table array microphone, delivering high-quality audio and flexible configuration for boardrooms, huddle rooms, and conference spaces. It features Steerable Coverage™ Technology with onboard IntelliMix® DSP, simplified setup in Designer, and remote management through ShureCloud—all in a compact, low-profile design.
High output, clear intelligibility, and deep bass with consistent coverage in a sleek, architecturally friendly design. It blends performance with seamless integration. Bose highlighted the DM12SE alongside other DesignMax solutions to showcase powerful sound supported by smart system tools and streamlined workflows.
The MXnet USP Series with AVPro Flow delivers flexible, high-performance AV distribution for large commercial systems. With video wall processing, multiview, signage support, and true cross-platform interoperability, it’s built for scalable hybrid AV environments.
The VIO L1608 3-way tri-amped active line array module made a strong impression at ISE. Compact yet powerful, it delivers high output and clarity in a streamlined footprint. It’s engineered for touring and installed sound applications that demand performance without compromise.
Alongside the new VIO module, A2Net enhances system networking and remote control capabilities. A2Net is the evolution of RDNet, delivering reliable performance with full control of dBTechnologies speakers and up to four channels of digital audio over a single cable.
The Agora Series of network switches is purpose-built for production environments. With multiple series—including Ghost, Fast, and H Series these switches provide flexible configuration and programming interfaces to support complex AV networks.
ISE also highlighted the new HDC card within the Ghost Series and expanded AES50 support across all switches.
The NT208L brings line array performance to applications where space and weight matter. Designed for clarity and control, it offers the signature EAW sound in a compact format, making it ideal for theaters, houses of worship, and live venues that need scalable power.
Liberty expanded its lineup with several new connectivity solutions: TUDS42, HUC42, and TU-CAPDOCK42. These additions support the growing demand for USB-C connectivity in conferencing and collaboration environments, offering flexible docking and signal management for modern workspaces.
Across every booth, the theme was clear: simplified deployment, smarter control, stronger network integration, and higher performance in smaller footprints.
From advanced conferencing bars and steerable microphones to powerful line arrays and production-ready switches, ISE 2026 showcased technology that makes systems more intuitive for users and more efficient for integrators.

The expansion into Michigan in 2005 began with a unique opportunity that aligned perfectly with Audio Biz’s values. A seasoned industry professional, based in Michigan and deeply connected to the market, stepped in to lead the territory. With support from the broader team and a commitment to customer-first service, the groundwork for long-term success was laid early on.
From the start, the mission was clear: provide Michigan customers with the same high-level service and access found across all Audio Biz territories. That mission still drives the team today.
Over two decades, Audio Biz Michigan has evolved from a one-person effort to a multi-person team focused on being in front of customers and building relationships. What began with support for retail and smaller contractors has grown to include a wide range of markets across the state.
Growth hasn’t just meant more team members. It’s also meant adapting to new business opportunities and representing a broader set of solutions, all while maintaining strong in-state coverage.
The team continues to operate on the same core values: be present, build relationships, and stay connected to customers. This consistent, personal approach continues to open doors and position the team for success with both existing and future partnerships.
Michigan’s AV landscape is shaped by major metropolitan areas on both the east and west sides, with a strong influence from large universities driving demand in higher education. But it doesn’t stop there. Conferencing, hospitality, tourism, and other commercial sectors also play a significant role in shaping the state’s AV needs. Understanding these regional dynamics, and staying engaged in those communities, has been key to long-term success.
Twenty years of progress is something to celebrate, but the most exciting part is what’s ahead. Audio Biz Michigan has weathered challenges, grown through change, and continued to evolve alongside the industry. With more people in the field, new partnerships in motion, and a strong foundation in place, the future is full of opportunity.
Here’s to 20 years, and the many more to come.
