ABOUT SOUNDSHIELD
You might feel like you already know the story behind SoundShield... you’re probably half right. Here’s the details that matter....
We are installers first and foremost. As 12-volt industry professionals we were always in search of solutions to improve our custom audio installations. We knew there had to be something even better than what was out there. Through our journeys abroad and our collaborative efforts with existing products and the engineers who develop the superior materials we helped refine, the product now known as SoundShield was born.
Our premium and proven product is sought after by installers and shop owners near and far across North America, thanks to the efforts put in by our team as we developed our product early on. We continue that legacy by reintroducing ourselves as SoundShield.
Simply, The World’s Best Sound Deadening Solution.
