Barcelona is a cool city with interesting architecture and great food, and the Fira Gran Via exhibit complex is an amazing venue for a 90,000-person A/V, building-controls and home-automation show that has outgrown Amsterdam RAI.

In a bid to grow even larger, Integrated Systems Europe has officially announced a move to Barcelona starting in 2021.

At the recently completed ISE 2018 show, Metra showcased its Multimedia Broadcast Systems Pro (M3B Pro) product as a solution to distribute video in homes and commercial buildings.

Motorized furniture, projection mapping, DIN rails, industrial TV mounts, retractable technology, POS kiosks and gorgeous acoustical treatments shown at ISE 2018 belong in smart-home installations, not just commercial spaces.

ISE 2018 brought a lot of new audio technology to the limelight, including improvements in immersive audio, weatherproofing, and wireless audio.
