OUT OF THIS WORLD

Premiere Audiovisual Design, Installation, and Service

While our audiovisual systems are out of this world, we mainly serve North Florida and South Georgia, on Earth. Sorry Jupiter.

We specialize in pro sound and video systems for businesses and churches. Our expertise includes the education field, entertainment industry, hospitality, medical, military, government, and worship services.

Reliable

Florida Sound has been around longer than any local competitor – since 1968 – delighting thousands of satisfied customers.

Progressive

Our past is important but we don't live there. We stay on top of new technologies and methods. Our technicians are certified through testing and training.

Personal

We are a family-run business that believes in qualities like integrity, loyalty, and truth.

RELIABLE LONGEVITY

Florida Sound has been around longer than ANY local competitor.

Yes, it's true. But you may ask "why does it matter?" Think of the economic upheavals over the last 50+ years. We have shown stability and genuine care for our customers where others have come and gone. You want a quality audiovisual system that will last and adapt to changing technology. You also want to know the company you use won't "disappear" in the middle of an installation. Then choose a licensed Certified Specialty Contractor that is here to stay.

0 Years

Since 1968 we have been designing, installing, and servicing sound systems.

YEARS IN BUSINESS

57 Years in Business | Since 1968
Collage of locations utilized by Florida Sound over the years

Florida Sound started in 1950 as Florida Wired Music with offices in the San Marco area of Jacksonville, Florida. Telephone lines were originally used to send music to customers and later RF transmissions. That would put us at over 70 years in business, but we use 1968 for years in service since it better aligns with our current name and offerings. After all, it was in 1968 we evolved into Florida Sound Engineering Co., Inc. which added focus on complete sound systems for churches, businesses, and even stadiums like the Gator Bowl. And it was in 1985 that we began installing audiovisual systems like the Barnett Bank's campus on the Southside of Jacksonville.

AUDIOVISUAL DESIGN WITH YOU IN MIND

Puzzled at the prospect of finding the right company to handle your design needs?

Before a system is installed, it has to be designed. A properly designed audiovisual system can make the difference between dull and muddled or bright and clear. Sound systems especially are affected by the acoustics of a room. If that isn’t taken into account, you can throw all the money and premium electronic gadgets at a job, and you will still not achieve the clarity of a less expensive system that has been properly designed. Even things like air conditioning systems can affect the intelligibility of a sound system.

If you are in the market for a new audiovisual system, make sure that it is properly designed before any equipment is ever proposed, let alone installed. We can help make the pieces fit.

INSTALL

AV System Installation

FROM LARGE TO SMALL, WE DO IT ALL

Florida Sound has been installing sound systems since 1968 and video systems since 1985. However, length of time alone does not mean quality installation. Just take a close look at a job done by a competitor:

Compare Florida Sound to the competition

If you examine how an audiovisual company wires a system, hang speaker clusters, or support their customers during installation, you will see a clear difference. It may not seem very important to compare something like the wiring of equipment racks, but try to service the rack a year later and you will realize the value of doing the job right from the beginning. Also noteworthy is how installation by Florida Sound can actually reduce future repair costs.

We have installed systems in small venues all the way up to stadiums with mission critical sound for over 75,000 in attendance. Our craftsmanship shines on each project we take on. It shows throughout, and for that matter, years afterward. We handle each job with the satisfaction of knowing when all is said and done, that we did our best. Do you deserve any less?

Simple words cannot express the thanks and appreciation I would like to extend to Florida Sound Engineering Company for the work completed on our new 3,000-seat Worship Center.

Throughout the project you were always there for us, you were available for conference calls, you were available for simple questions and to give advice on equipment, your team provided a neat and timely installation and the final product sounds fantastic. The balance of sound in the Worship Center is beautiful.

Customer Comments

Florida Sound handled the sound and video system for our $4.5 million project. I have nothing but praise for Bob Cole and the Florida Sound team. They handled themselves in a very professional manner, met all timelines, worked within an intense construction environment with varied personalities, while maintaining a great attitude. I’ve remarked to my staff on a couple of occasions that I would have gotten a little more sleep during our construction process if all the subcontractors conducted themselves like Florida Sound.

With the purchase of nearly a quarter of a million dollars in sound equipment, Florida Sound’s service has been extremely professional and unproblematic. Florida Sound has provided excellent equipment, timely installation, and exemplary customer relations. Throughout the construction of our new facility, Florida Sound has been a first-rate contractor and we highly recommend their services.
