New Harman Professional Solutions' 15,000-square-foot, multi-functional facility in Los Angeles showcases incredible design with Samsung, JBL Pro, AKG, AMX, Lexicon and brand offerings.

Harman Professional Solutions is in the midst of massive restructuring, with plans to lay off 650 positions in the U.S. and Europe over the next year.

Benefiting Dallas CASA, which helps abused and neglected children find permanent homes, Harman and Team AMX build amazing, ultra-modern, game-filled, JBL-packed playhouse for auction.

Opinion: After acquiring SnapAV, private equity giant Hellman & Friedman likely will follow up with 'transformational transaction' that disrupts home-technology landscape: Control4? Savant? Core Brands? Interlogix? PlumChoice?

Harman integrators foresee influx of R&D money into Harman from Samsung, and speculate on stronger AMX integration, changes in the sales channel, and mixed reactions from some audiophile clients.

Samsung Electronics is acquiring Harman International for $112 per share, or $8 billion, largely for Harman’s leadership in automotive technology and consumer audio; IoT shows up in PR, but no mention of AMX.
