10 reasons to chose Sound Advice
We know that you have options. Over the years, there have been many competitors attempt to enter the industry. At Sound Advice, we welcome competitors to our industry. However, we also believe that even with competitors, there are no companies in the Southern region that can offer clients with the advantages that we can.
Sound Advice is a well established company that has all the tools necessary to make any project a success. With over 40 years in the industry, we have seen the industry transform away from the normal "simple" wire-based install. Now, with the newly emerging products, the simple install is a thing of the past.
Today, the ability to program keypads and other essential accessories are an enormous advantage to the company and clients. Sound Advice does not contract their programming services, or ANY services, out to a 3rd party contractor. We do the complete job ourselves. By not using contractors, it allows us to be in control of the outcome that we strive so hard to prefect. We know you'll be completely satisfied and we know that because we have control of the outcome.
#1- QUALITY- Top of the line products and accessories used for ultimate performance!
At Sound Advice we understand the importance of quality. As a company that designs and installs audio/video solutions, quality is paramount. Some would believe that a HDMI cable is an HDMI cable. However, it's not. This is true for many accessories. Your system is only as good as the accessories that are responsible for delivering the signal. Just because something is High-Definition, doesn't mean that the end-result will truly be High-Definition. We strive to assure our clients that when they chose Sound Advice they are choosing a company that is a result driven company that strives for exceeding our customers expectations.

#5- ESTABLISHED- Been in Business for 40 years!
From a small vinyl records company based in the small town of Franklin, Louisiana to Louisiana's leading provider of Audio / Video / Automation equipment, based in Louisiana's capitol city, Baton Rouge, Louisiana. A Recording Studio "B&D records", whom produced hit records for Hall-of-Fame band "Blac Dog", to the company that is presented before you today. That's the path that we have traveled. Although 40 years ago we never expected the industry to resemble anything like this, we welcome the change and embrace the opportunity. We began the industry when a cellphone wasn't even common, as small wireless hand-held cellphones weren't even a reality. To have that "mobile" ability inside of your vehicle, you were forced to install huge exterior antennas and phone headset boxes inside of your vehicle. Apple was yet to usher in the modern computing age with the release of Apple II, Fiber Optics was still in development, and the Sony Walkman was yet to be invented. As time evolved, so did our company. Now, computers are intertwined with any Audio, Video, and/or Automation project. The advancement of computers and microprocessors have allowed the things we enjoy everyday to communicate to each other in a way that was not believed capable back in the 1970's. We embrace and understand our technological history. We feel that the years have afforded us a remarkable edge in providing you with an application that you can work and enjoy.
