CLS has every solution to meet my audio-for-video needs! There's nothing too hard for them and I've been shopping there for at least 5 years.

Over the years I have purchased some sound equipment and the occasional cable or fitting. Today I brought in a small circuit board driving the fuel economy and compass gauge from my 2005 Ford Super Duty. It had stopped working and a search online revealed that there are several resistors on the board that tend to become unsoldered over time. When I took out the board I saw that two of the resistors were loose.

My vision isn't what it once was and the resistors were small so I decided to see if CLS could help me by soldering them back on. In less than 10 min I walked out with the two resistors neatly soldered and when I asked, "How much?" I was told, "Don't worry about it. What great customer service. CLS, you rock!

These folks are awesome! Went in to replace a wire to connect a cartridge to a turn table. Nor only did they have this little obscure wire but they gave it to me no charge. Thanks so much!

CLS always works well for my store meeting events. They have very reasonable rates. They double check the equipment prior to you departing. Always help you load. Great for the musician, churches, or businesses in need of professional audio and video equipment!

I rent all mixing/light/sound equipment from CLS, and they always provide what I need at an affordable price. Great customer service, incredibly courteous, and willing to help in any way.
