Last week, I ran a story about control technologies manufacturer RTI, now part of AVPro Global, launching a new line of amplifiers and zone controllers targeted for the commercial integration channel. The amps looked well-designed and configured, signalling a sincere effort to grow its commercial business, so I was upbeat about this development.
But sharp-eyed Strata-gee readers reached out to me to note that these amps looked familiar to them. Several readers noted that other brands have launched products with the same or substantially similar features and capabilities. They wanted to know what was going on with RTI and AVPro Global.
