Shanahan Sound began in late 1950 in a small shop in Lowell, Massachusetts. How small was it? Legend has it Walter Shanahan, the founder, had to put TV's out on the sidewalk so he could stand at his service bench. Moreover, his first sound truck was bigger than his first shop. In 1951 he established Shanahan Radio & Television Service.

During the next three decades Shanahan became one of the largest sales and service centers in Massachusetts, surviving monumental changes in the consumer electronics and commercial sound industries. Shanahan progressed with the revolution in transistors, embraced digital technologies and thrived by keeping the focus on customer service.

For twenty years Shanahan Sound & Electronics, Inc. has been wholly committed to commercial sound and video design and installation. How has Shanahan grown? Happily. Today Shanahan Sound is as big as the big picture, as small as the simplest detail, and not nearly as important as a satisfied customer.
