Art Swanson founded Swansons Sound Service in 1926. And in the early days, search lights were added to the inventory. A few years later, Swanson's panel trucks with large roof-mounted audio horns could be seen at most of the large community events. These trucks were also used to pull advertising billboards. In the late seventies Swanson expanded its services to include the design and installation of permanent sound systems. Donald A. Nielsen, who was an employee of Swanson Sound Service for several years, assumed ownership of the company in 1952. At that time Don decided to sell the search light division and focused entirely on sound system rentals. Throughout the sixties, seventies and eighties. Swanson Sound Service established itself as one of the premier sound companies, providing large touring systems for the Pop, Rock and Soul acts of that time.
