About Us

In the beginning....
...some time after the earth cooled, in the city of Tampa, Florida, late at night after a friendly card game, an idea took root. I started a sound company.

It was 1987. The pro audio industry was still in diapers. If you needed to produce intelligible sound in a challenging room, who would you turn to?

Background music installers know how to put ceiling speakers in elevators, but are clueless about what happens when real live musicians take the stage.
Electrical contractors can get a piece of wire from point "A" to point "B, but don't know how to get intelligible speech from a microphone into your ear.
Music stores typically sell components, not systems (imagine going to an auto-parts store to buy a car one piece at a time!)

Math wasn't my favorite sport, but I was able to put two and two together, and by 1988 I had added sales, service and installation to the my pro audio production service business.

Over two decades later, we offer turnkey services, providing not only audio, video and lighting equipment, but consultation, design, installation, programming, rigging, cabling, labor, troubleshooting and ongoing service and maintenance, as well.

Already have a pile of equipment?... a line of credit at a big music store?.... landed a big rig on eBay? We can help you make sense of that stack of boxes, and turn it into a real sound system. We can integrate your existing equipment with your new equipment. And we can treat your acoustical anomalies while we're at it.

Whether you're shopping for professional audio systems and services for your church, school, home or business, you need someone who can put it all together. Whatever your challenge is, we've probably already been there and already done that. And we pay attention.

Thank you!
