PSS, a top tier sound reinforcement company, was established in the Baton Rouge, Louisiana, region in 2003. “PSS is a full scale live audio provider,” Russ Bryant, owner of PSS, said. “PSS handles events from live concerts, festivals, tours, corporate events, community events and more. Pretty much anything you may hear music at or need to hear someone speak to a crowd, you can find us.” The company quickly grew, with its first client being “Live After Five,” a popular event in Baton Rouge. Today, PSS is the biggest sound company in the region, with clients including Jay Leno, CBS, Miss Universe, Miss USA and WWE. PSS does much more than move speakers — it also provides clients with packaged services for tours, including sound, rigging, lighting, equipment for audio and visual, and the team that sets up and operates all the gear, from stage hands to tour managers and audio engineers. Events needing backlines or musical instruments, DJs, lighting, staging and rigging, and any variety of audio-visual expertise can depend on PSS to have the team and equipment.

The good reputation of PSS has spread along with its high-quality sound tech- niques. PSS now services the entire Gulf South region, as well as assisting national tours. PSS required unique standards for its location — a large facility to house all of the equipment, a large and easy-to- access parking lot for its vehicles, and a way to conveniently reach main routes of transportation nearby. St. John Properties delivered exactly the space that PSS needed. “Our current space is great for our business with plenty of parking, truck docks, and easy access to main surface roads and the inter- state,” Bryant said. The sound industry has its own set of hazards, and St. John Properties outdid itself to help PSS feel secure. “St. John did install a fire-rated rolling door between our office space and ware- house space,” Bryant said. This will help to keep the storage area separate from the regular office portion of the location, allowing the business to function smoothly, professionally and safely in case of an emergency.

One of the main reasons that PSS chose its current location with St. John Properties is access to truck docks. Regularly moving heavy sound equipment is a typical part of the business, and without truck docks, the work can take twice as long — and twice the inconvenience. While PSS continues moving out and reaching forward, the business will follow in the tracks of its quality sound waves, giving clients the reliability and quality that they need for their events.
