Boston Globe writer Davis Bushnell profiled Shanahan in a recent newspaper article. After joining her family's television sales/service shop, she became owner of Shanahan Sound and Electronics. Shanahan took what was good and made it better by adapting the business to serve a broad base of audio and video customers. “Catherine is a smart and savvy businesswoman and we're fortunate to have her on our NSCA Board of Directors,” says NSCA Executive Director Chuck Wilson. “The fact that she's featured in a national publication is a testament to her business acumen.” Shanahan took over the company's reins in 1994, moved the original family business away from the once-golden television era and grew it to serve a new cadre of audio and video customers. Her Lowell-based company posted revenues of nearly $3 million last year. Among Shanahan's 450 clients in New England are houses of worship, universities, museums, corporate facilities, and manufacturing plants. Shanahan partners with nearly 50 product companies to provide a wide array of systems and integrated solutions. ### **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.
