OUR STORY
A pioneering foundation, that grew an AV industry leader
When customers walked into John Bogosian’s retail Camera Shop, Inc., they needed projectors and other AV equipment for collaboration and instruction. John saw an opportunity to serve the commercial AV sector, and Visual Sound grew out of this need.
In 1967, a firm foundation was established built on high quality solutions, a commitment to excellence, and personal customer service – establishing Visual Sound as trusted and reputable audio visual industry leader.
Today, Karen Bogosian is at the helm of Visual Sound ensuring that our teams understand a client’s unique needs, while delivering that same brand of personal customer service.
