of the company’s short-term goals is to build
a strong client base through south Florida

Even as he has his eyes on the south,
Jay is aware of the fact that SR Audio
has to tend the home �res while growing.
The key, he says, is the split of responsibilities
between father and son. “If
I go out on the road, he’s able to keep
things in the o�ce going and vice versa.
The key thing is for us to make sure we
have great people to work with who will
help us with our situation,” he explains.
“When it comes down to it, we’re a small
operation. We only have a handful of employees;

undergoing over the years, since the company
has added lighting, staging, video and

According to Jay,
the plan is to continue

get to where we can
take on multiple tours

says. “We’d like to expand
the audio more
as far as physical size, but keeping in mind
that we can do it only as fast as we can actually
guarantee the quality.”
“We don’t have a big footprint,” he

every job we do is going to get us �ve to

keeps us going.”
