SCN: How does InfoComm inspire you?

PS: InfoComm continues to inspire all of us at HARMAN as it gives us the platform to connect directly with integrators, consultants, and end users, in a personal, face-to-face way. It not only showcases our latest products, but it sparks new collaborations, gives us real-time feedback, and reinforces HARMAN's leadership in technology that our customers care about.

SCN: How is HARMAN’s new Technology Partnership status improving the NASCAR experience for fans?

PS: HARMAN Professional’s new Technology Partnership with NASCAR will enhance the fan experience by delivering premium, integrated audio systems across certain NASCAR racetrack properties.
