History
Founded in 1960, Hollywood Sound Systems is one of the oldest, best-known sound companies in the country — with nearly 6 decades of service to the Los Angeles region and beyond. From the start, we’ve been at the forefront of our industry, contributing many milestone innovations and cutting-edge approaches to sound design and application that have become quite commonplace today.
Our sound equipment, packages, and specialized systems designs can be found at Disneyland (including the original Main Street Electrical Parade), Knott’s Berry Farm, and Magic Mountain — and on countless television shows, at film premieres, USO tours, parades, concerts, and corporate events. In 1975, we conceived and developed the wireless referee system for the National Football League — an idea that is now an integral part of many forms of live sports. We also originated the sound for TV programs like Saturday Night Live.
Fluent in the integration of today's latest sound technologies — Hollywood Sound Systems continues to bring our vast knowledge, experience, and passion to the world of audio capture, distribution, and editing — creating solutions for every area of the entertainment industry, Houses of Worship, theatrical production, schools, civic groups, corporate and special events, and concert production. And we bring all of this together with the sole purpose of serving our clients well.
