Powering AVL with PoE

About this episode

This episode explores the impact of Power over Ethernet on AVL systems in church production.

What if one cable could power your AVL future? This week on The Tech Arts Podcast, we dive into the rapidly growing world of PoE (Power over Ethernet) and how it’s changing church production, networking, lighting, audio, video, and system design. Host David Leuschner sits down with Anthony Stofflet from AC Americas to talk real-world applications of PoE, AVB Milan, Dante, network switches, lighting systems, audio solutions, video infrastructure, and why smarter infrastructure matters for churches building or upgrading today. Plus — a special segment from Paragon 360 called “The Paragon Angle.” This episode is sponsored by AC Americas and brought to you by Shure, Resi, Paragon 360, and DiGiCo. Less cable. More control. Smarter AVL. See all resources, youtube videos and more at techartspodcast.com
