Episode 61: The statute of limitations has run out, right?
Recorded July 11, 2025
In this episode, the goon squad discusses testing AV equipment and the often murky waters of bench testing. Join Chris, Jamie, Larry, and Justin as they share their experiences, opinions, and a few laughs about the realities of ensuring gear works as intended before it hits the field.
The discussion kicks off with a humorous take on the common practice of just throwing gear into new environments without thorough testing. The panelists debate the balance between best practices and the chaotic nature of real-world installations, exploring how much testing is truly necessary and what constitutes effective bench testing. With anecdotes from their own experiences, they explore the risks and rewards of deploying untested gear in high-stakes situations.
Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, this episode is packed with semi-useful advice.
