The AV and smart home industry move fast, but at this incredible milestone, we’d like to take a look back at our journey as integrators. Today we’re a staff of 27 people with nine service vehicles and an impressive portfolio of projects. But here’s how First Priority Audio began.

Get the Best Sound Out of Your Speaker System with Acoustic Treatments
