Shanahan is highly experienced working with the aesthetics and structural requirements of historic buildings. Our work is not invasive during installation and remains inconspicuous upon completion. Working with Shanahan you can be confident we will stay true to the history and architecture of the building. Your site and your sound system needs are unique. When you work with Shanahan we guarantee you will not receive a “cookie-cutter solution”. Instead we spend time with you asking the right questions to better understand your goals and how you intend to use your [audio/visual systems](https://www.shanahansound.com/audio-visual-services/). Then we analyze the physical space (or the plans for new construction) taking into account: - size of the area, - sound absorption, - site lines for video, - and many other factors. With this information in hand we develop a complete design, comprehensive budget, and appropriate equipment list. But we do not stop there, Shanahan offers extensive [audio visual consulting services ](https://www.shanahansound.com/audio-visual-consultants-sound-video-consulting/)to ensure your system continues to perform at its peak. [Contact us today for a no obligation design assessment](https://www.shanahansound.com/av-design-equipment-installation-services-company/) and let us know how we can help. Are you on the right track? Do you need a second opinion? Do you have a small budget and want to know the best way to use it? We will follow up within one business day to get you answers to your questions. We can also be reached at 800-786-1556.    ### **Client Voices** *"The sound system Shanahan installed in the Ice Rink has been a great improvement to our operation."* ***-John O'Neill*** **Salem State University** ### **Schedule a Free Design Consultation** ### **Our Services** - **[Sound and Video Design](https://www.shanahansound.com/creative-sound-system-design-audio-video/) ** - **[Sound & Video System Installation ](https://www.shanahansound.com/video-and-sound-system-installation/)** - **[Audio Visual Consulting Services](https://www.shanahansound.com/audio-visual-consultants-sound-video-consulting/)** - **[Video Conferencing Systems](https://www.shanahansound.com/audio-video-conferencing-systems-equipment/)** - **[Assistive Listening Devices](https://www.shanahansound.com/assistive-listening-devices/)** - **[Digital Signage Solutions](https://www.shanahansound.com/digital-sign-display-signage-system-solutions/) ** ### **Sample Projects** - **[West Congregational Church](https://www.shanahansound.com/chur1/)** - **[Hanover Insurance](https://www.shanahansound.com/newsletter/the-hanover-insurance-group-inc/)** - **[Beechwood Hotel](https://www.shanahansound.com/beechwood-hotel/)** - **[Plimouth Plantation](https://www.shanahansound.com/newsletter/plimoth-plantation/)** ### **Connect with us!** - [PROJECT PORTFOLIO](https://www.shanahansound.com/custom-sound-video-systems-contractor/)| - [AUDIO/VISUAL SOLUTIONS](https://www.shanahansound.com/audio-visual-services/)| - [PRODUCT CATALOG](https://www.shanahansound.com/professional-audio-video-sound-equipment-catalog/)| - [RAVE REVIEWS](https://www.shanahansound.com/rave-reviews/)| - [PUBLICATIONS](https://www.shanahansound.com/newsletter/)| - [ABOUT](https://www.shanahansound.com/about/)| - [NEWS & EVENTS](https://www.shanahansound.com/in-the-news/)| - [CONTACT US](https://www.shanahansound.com/av-design-equipment-installation-services-company/) |[SITE MAP](https://www.shanahansound.com/site-map/) *Sound and Video System Experts serving New England including MA, NH, RI, ME, CT, and VT since 1951* © 2026 Shanahan Sound & Electronics, Inc.
