Our Story

Our company’s roots go back to the era of the Beatles and Otis Redding. In 1968, we began as a background music company. Over the years we added AV services as well as security products. In 2014, Nikki Johnson spun off the AV division from the security company and formed an independent company called Sound and Media Solutions. We are a full-service Commercial AV Integrator filled with talented team members who share in our mission to create the ultimate AV experience for our customers.

We are a certified woman-owned business offering a local partnership through the delivery of background music and the design and installation of AV systems in Rochester, Minnesota and beyond. Our service area extends to Northern Iowa, Western Wisconsin and Southern and Central Minnesota.
