Mission Statement

At Electro Acoustics, we strive to inspire people to entertain, educate and edify by crafting exceptional communication tools. We serve our clients with experience, courtesy and respect.

History

Sue and I founded Electro Acoustics, Inc. in Fort Worth, Texas in 1984. Originally an audio-contracting firm, today we cater to all spectrums within the A/V industry, including design, engineering, installation and system support services on projects ranging from churches, performing arts centers and stadiums to corporate and civic projects.

We have been fortunate to be involved with some of the most well respected design and consulting firms in the country on iconic Texas projects including Bass Performance Hall, the Texas Rangers’ Ballpark in Arlington, Kimbell Art Museum and TCU’s Amon Carter Stadium.

The primary reason for our growth within the industry is due to our talented and committed engineers, designers and technicians. We are family-owned and operated, service-oriented, and committed to reinvesting our profits into the lives of our employees and our community.

Best Wishes,
