Google asked me to review Performance Audio, so I will. I buy a lot of audio odds and ends from these guys. They ALWAYS provide stellar service and great advice. On multiple occasions, Ive called trying to buy something to fix a problem, only to have them recommend a simple FREE solution I hadnt thought of. Makes it real easy to avoid Amazon etc...
Im not a musician. I went to a guitar shop to get something to plug my guitar into my pc with. They said go to performance audio. I went to another guitar shop instead, that was closer. THEY said go to performance audio. So, I went to performance audio. These folks were AWESOME. They gave super advice, recognized that I was a beginner and tried to offer inexpensive but functional solutions without prompting. Their store is great, too, and they clearly had stuff to deck out a music studio, as well as stuff to service a guy who needs something to plug my guitar into my pc with.
I ordered tweeters on the weekend and they were set to ship on Monday. I called the store Monday morning and Pam was very helpful. Needing the tweeters by Thursday she found the order and was able to ship them out priority before they left the store. They arrived Wednesday and now we have plenty of time to fix the speakers before the show. Thank you for being so on your game.
This place is the best for repairs. To start with, they were really busy, so rather than have me leave my equipment for weeks Kyle was great to give me a call when they were ready for me. Everything was done absolutely on schedule and, believe it or not, slightly under estimate! Kyle, the repair crew, the front desk are all the tops at their jobs. Highest reccomendations
I was looking for rg6 to rca end and could not find one at my regular places. They went and found a comparable cable and made sure it would work and showed me ot would work.Thanks for the help
These guys just helped me out of a bind. Showed up at 4 on a Friday not realizing they closed at 4. They still helped me out with a rental and were super friendly!
I had a very nice experience here!My wife and I were looking to add some speakers to our kitchen and dining areas so when we are fixing food in the kitchen area or dining at our dining table we can hear the television without having the television volume so high.Very friendly and helpful staff!I would highly recommend this place! 👍😊
This is a great place to get discrete audio parts and cable. All the Neurtrik and Rean connectors youll need and not very expensive either. You can also pick up online orders from the store for free. If only they would start selling more electronic components for us hobbyists.
Love this place. Great audio experts and lots of good equipment. My one complaint is I wish they closed at 6 as opposed to 4pm. But I understand why. Still great
This store is awesome. Great staff that is knowledgeable in what they do, and awesome service. The prices are great as well. Go check them out.
Cant say enough good things about Performance Audio. I worked with them years ago and just called back. Same owner. Same great service. 100% recommend doing business with this team. Quality people.
This is a really great store, and a gem among Salt Lake music-equipment retailers. Their staff is super knowledgeable, patient, and really good at decoding whatever dumb audio question Im trying to ask. They stock the best stuff, and are priced very competitively. Theres really no need to look online for your audio stuff--just go here.
Shout out to Performance Audio for tuning up my turntables this week. That was my second time bringing in my 20-year-old Technics SL-1200M3Ds for a tune-up at Performance Audio. They cleaned them, tuned my pitch-adjust sliders, lubricated the sliders and the counter balance, special ordered a tiny screw I was missing, and probably lots of other stuff I dont even know about. I recommend getting your turntables tuned up at Performance Audio.
Knowledgeable, get selection, and they finance!They were recommended to me by Wally at Guitar czar and Meter at SLC Drum.Tiffany was GREAT on the phone. Gave me different options for the items I was trying to get.I was looking for a mic and they offered to special order it for like 60 dollars LESS than Amazon.Absolutely coming back.
Super helpful staff and great pro audio selection to purchase or rent. Ive purchased a lot here over the years.
Great customer service!Tom was willing to stay after to help with an emergency, and ensured I knew how to use the equipment properly. I work some distance away and it is worth the drive to Salt Lake to get to work with them.
I was visiting Salt Lake City and I had great experience buying the Rode Wireless Go II. The price and customer service were excellent. Highly recommended
Highly professional. Very knowledgable. Thanks to their years in business and great history, even when the product was back ordered, their relationship to the manufacturers allowed a confident estimation of shipping.
I love Performance Audio. They are a fantastic local shop that always has or gets what I need. They are professional and the customer service is great. I recommend Performance to anyone looking for pro audio/visual equipment.
I had some custom XLR mic cables made here and Ryan S. is a professional in every way. I wasnt sure where to start with the variety of connectors and options they have, but Ryan pointed me in right direction and got me sorted at a fair price as well, considering the custom nature of the cables.If youre looking for a company who is responsive and values good customer service and offering fine products at a fair price, check out Performance Audio. Pleasure doing business with them, and will keep them in mind for my future audio needs! Thanks Ryan!
Knowledgeable staff, competitive pricing and a local business! We love this place and highly recommend it.
Best place for top quality audio products. Fast, efficient, and friendly service. Highly recommend.
I had the wrong type of cables pulled into the walls of my home theater room and was stuck. Darrin Porter resolved the issue and took considerable time by fitting special terminals to the cables and tested each terminal to make sure they were working. he found one that was not to his satisfaction so took even more time to remove and replace the terminal. then he only charged me for the terminals not anything for the considerable time he spent resolving my problems. Without his knowledge and experience I would not be able to have my sound system work. I would recommend this company to anyone. They go above and beyond with regards to customer service.
The staff was extremely professional and willing to help out. I called weeks before packing my equipment in for repair to ensure they could repair my equipment, which I was told they could. I showed up, packed in my equipment and was then informed they were unable to repair it so I had to go elsewhere. Out of the multiple times Ive been here, this has been the only hiccup Ive had. Id still recommend them for you pro audio needs.
The best place to get all pro audio needs and wants.
Excellent experience particularly Dave app performance. knowledgeable, helpful and friendly as are all of the staff great selection of pro audio and lighting equipment. Love em, highly recommended.
Best food, best staff
As a professional audio engineer, I have used Performance Audio several times to purchase gear. They offer competitive pricing on the same gear I used to order from another place online. The staff are knowledgeable and helpful. Anytime I need a new piece of equipment now, Performance Audio is the first place I look.
Staff is very helpful.They got a good knowledge on what they do
Very helpful, friendly, good prices. Shop local first.
Excellent customer service going above and beyond their job to help the customer it still exists and Jessica at performance plus went way beyond the call of duty to help me today and she was successful in helping me with my request and I owe a big thanks the her and performance plus. They have the biggest selection of quality connectors, Audio cables, power supply cords u name it I have ever seen . The store was set up super cool and very clean . My 1st time here and cant wait to go back and browse . Highly recommend you check this place out for all your audio/ musical needs
As a cabling company who was forced to do an AV project in St George even though we have no experience, partnered with Performance Audio, and they were nothing but helpful! Now I know if we are roped into any more AV projects Performance Audio is the only company I will reach out to for help and support.
I’ve been working with these folks for decades on pro audio and lighting. They know their stuff. This is the only pro audio & lighting company that is customer driven. They have nice, clean, modern customer and demo areas. You’re greeted soon after entering by sales staff who do their best to understand your needs and help make it a reality. The rental department is the best I’ve ever worked with. And they have a great selection of equipment and staff who will show you how it all works. Attaboy!!!
As I try to avoid guitar center at all costs, performance audio has been crucial to getting all the cables I need. I think they are more geared up for larger, non-retail, type customers, but they have never blinked an eye when I come in looking for a five dollar cable. It’s great to have a local resource like this in SLC.
Knowledgeable staff. Friendly and helpful. Not condescending like some other large chain guitar stores whose name we wont mention.
Tom and Darren hooked me up. Holiday weekend before the 4th of July, I was just checking the website to see if I had time to bike down to the shop instead of drive and google suggested they might close early for the holiday. That had NOT occured to me.I called the shop. They were basically trying to close right then but offered to stay open so I could run down there (so I drove, obviously).They held the shop open just so I could run in and grab a 1/4 cord before the holiday weekend. It was above and beyond.But that kind of service and the exceptional quality and lifetime warranty on their cords is why I wait for Performance Audio to be open again. Also, I love that their cords come in so many colors... it helps me keep my gear organized and separate from bandmates!Thanks, Darren and Tom. See you again soon!
Took my CDJs in for repairs and through it takes a very long time to get to that point. They were super helpful. The only problem was when they said it was done. They actually didn’t fix all the problems it had so then I had to take it about for more repairs (at no cost) lengthy process but super nice people.
Ive been shopping at performance audio since 1997 when I purchased my first pair of speakers, amp, and mixing board. I am fiercely loyal to performance because of their consulting, service, rentals, flexibility, knowledge, and products. Great prices. phenomenal, genuine, smart, and friendly staff. Yep, I have a company crush.
Youll be able to find EXACTLY what you need here. All of it is quality, you will never run the risk of coming away with junk cables or product. Sales reps were super helpful and professional. This location also offers equipment rental. Prices are fair and competitive. They are now my go to for audio needs.
Those guys... theyre the bomb-diggity. If I ask for something in a certain price range, they get me great options. If I want something in a certain price range with certain functionality, they find me great options. If I want... well, you get it. Recommended by me!
These guys are 100% pros who take audio very seriously and can match you regardless of the level youre at. Very nice to work with such friendly, competent people. Ive been a customer for over 20 years and will always use them for my high end audio/studio needs.
Great place to shop excellent customer service very knowledgeable staff.if one person doesnt know they will attempt to contact the manufacturer or someone there will know. They do rentals and custom cables. Utahs best audio shop.
These guys really care about this business and their customers- I had left a poor review earlier due to a miscommunication and they promptly handled my problem. I definitely recommend them for their service and merchandise.
Best place to go! Good and friendly service. Knowledgeable staff. And, if they dont have it there, theyll find a way get it for you.
I have been purchasing and renting equipment from Performance Audio since 1989. Ill never forget the early days of renting to own the equipment. The owner Kevin who has since passed away set us up on a rent to own program that helped launch our DJ company. Terry, who still runs the rental department was always their to help load or unload the equipment on Mondays after each rental. Even to this day Terry takes great care of the equipment that they rent out. They always have great equipment to rent that looks and performs great for our needs.Over the years they have been great to work with and on too many occasions would go the extra mile to help us out in times of need. On one particular occasion Darrin waited after hours so we could pick up some equipment that we needed for a wedding at Red Butt Gardens that we were performing at. I have many great customer service stories with them and have truly enjoyed working with Performance Audio over the many years.Now that I have started a new company Im excited to be working with them even more as I purchase and upgrade equipment. They have been very helpful to answer all my questions and guide me to the right equipment needed to create my podcast.Its like walking into a candy store or going on vacation when you walk into the building. Keep up the great work. Thank you
The folks there are very knowledgeable and, to make matters better, they are OK imparting their knowledge. They really have a team atmosphere. While spending time with one associate another overheard our conversation and took it upon himself to provide some documentation for me, completely unsolicited. It was very helpful. I was also impressed with how much product they keep in stock. Everything I needed they had ready to go. No special orders needed on this trip.
Love Performance. Real professionals who all know their stuff. Never rude, not gatekeeper mentality. Always rent through them as well!
Great staff, selection, and service.
These guys are simply the best in Salt Lake. Ive been a regular customer for a few years now and have had many positive experiences with them, but Ill just mention my most recent one here.I went in the other day to get a shock mount for an obscure vintage condenser mic. They didnt have one that would fit (its a huge mic) and even after a quick Internet search we still couldnt find anything. Then Dan (one of their sales associates) remembered an old shock mount they kept around as a store demo. We tried it and it fit! I offered to pay and they wouldnt take my money. Its just a demo model weve had sitting around. You can just have it. Well done boys. Ill be a loyal customer for years to come.
Performance Audio is the best place for any kind of audio or visual needs you might have—huge or tiny. These guys know it all and have access to it all. I have worked with them for 8 years and they helped me initially to set up my own little recording studio—I knew nothing at all—and they helped explain everything to me and listened to what I would and would not be doing so I didn’t have to spend more on something I would t need. Such a helpful resource! They want to save me money! I just returned wanting to update my system and again they were so helpful giving me all the one-on-one training I needed (and didn’t mind me recording a couple of how-to sessions so I could go back and review). This is the place to go.
Fantastic People! Awesome selection of in-stock products! Un-matched expertise anywhere else in the state. I cant recommend this location any higher. They are a 100% 5-star business. They have save me from countless mistakes and come to my rescue amid major crisis multiple times. They are competitive on price and the service and expertise that they provide is a thousand levels above your standard retail provider.
Amazing selection of microphones and recording equipment overall, a comfortable store setting and very knowledgeable staff. I worked with Harley in particular and he surely knows his stuff. He is a pleasure to work with. Keep up the great work!
Ive had nothing but great experiences at this shop. These guys are truly professionals and I will be a lifelong customer.
Knowledge and helpful staff. Im frequently impressed with their knowledge and selection.
I have been a customer for many years and have spent literally Tens of thousands of dollars. I have been treated in the past well, and thought I had been given good prices on my purchases. Several weeks ago I went into the store in need of a single speakon power cable. I was told they did not stock this item and it would have to be made at the store and would take several days. I explained I live 300 miles away and was leaving for home that afternoon, could they possible build this item by the afternoon. I was told no. There were other customers they needed to tend to and I could not be accommodated. I mentioned my loyalty and that I have spent a lot of money and this made no difference. They said sorry and that was that.It seems to me that for customer loyalty performance audio could have done this for me. I probably will not return and do business again. I told others of this treatment and I doubt if they will trade there either.
While I may not know the ins and outs of audio tech, I do know that Byron and the gang at Performance Audio are not just knowledgeable and patiently help their customers learn more about all that their visit entails, but then they volunteered even more of their time to prep my equipment while I got to selfishly enjoy the pleasure of their conversation free of charge. Highly recommend if youre looking for straight shooters!
Ive been to performance audio multiple times. Ive always had a good experience. Ive rented, purchased, and now had something repaired! I was in a bind for an event and shipped them a product one week before my event I needed the product at! Well they were able to not only fix it but shipped it in time for me to be able to rock my event! I had them fix a EV amp. I look forward to working closely with Ryan, Aaron, and Ivan at performance in the future! Thanks for all you guys do!
Ive never been to the physical store, but I can attest that their customer service is EXCELLENT. I recently ordered from their online store, and someone promptly informed me of important details specific to my order. I was easily able to contact a real person regarding my order. It seems that many others also had excellent customer service experiences.
Everything pro audio you need.
Chris at Performance Audio is a Pro Tools Genius!!!! Whenever I have had an issue with my system, no matter how big or small, Chris is the only one who has been able to get to the bottom of any and all problems. I live across the country - but will continue to use Performance Audio due to their consistently excellent service. Chris...my hats off to you - thanks for being so Awesome!
They know their stuff amd treat you with respect even if you dont know your stuff. Extremely easy to work with.
Best selection of back line equipment for drums and stuff Ive ever seen!
Very happy with the service and level of knowledge of the employees! I had questions that my local music store guys could not even answer for me but Scott not only responded with his input, he also contacted a vendor to get the specific information I needed. Performance Audio will be the first place I look when I need to make additions to my audio gear!
Great and knowledgeable staff. Good prices great selection their repair team is hands down the best
These guys deliver grand slam service. They are knowledgeable, friendly, and interested in getting you a solution to whatever you are working to address. I went in there on Saturday to drop off a wireless mic set up that was giving us problems during our Sunday morning services. Darrin worked to solve the problem then and there - at the front counter - instead of having me come back the following week as well as being without the mic the following day. He stayed on it and got the mic programmed correctly and the mic performed flawlessly the following day. Our whole tech and musician team at South Mountain Community Church are big fans of the Performance Audio organization, and this is a perfect example of why. Thanks, Darrin and crew! GREAT EXPERIENCE.
We have a DJ business, and use Performance Audio for all of our needs. The staff there is friendly, and knows their stuff! Whenever we have a question about equipment or unique needs for specific events, we always use Performance Audio. When we were having problems with one of our wireless microphones, they were great to help us troubleshoot the problem and get it fixed. We have a few events a year at a large shopping center that we rent speaker cable from Performance Audio for. LOVE Performance Audio, and wouldnt go anywhere else for our equipment and audio needs!
Ive done buisness in there for a while, but never will do it again, apparently its okay to argue and make a customer feel like its there fault for bringing something in to get fixed and you cant fix it. to the little spanish guy that wants to be right and not listen and debate and not let a CUSTOMER finish his sentences, this ones for you
Everything about this team screams customer service! Engaging conversations, solutions around every corner and its a one stop shop!
Efficient sale but terrible customer service.On the phone, I was told this store had 1 pair left of the headphones I requested. So I had them put on hold under my name.Walked in to collect and pay. No one wanted to help. Someone walked up and said you here for a rental? I said hi mate, I called 30 min ago to put a pair of headphones on hold. He responded nothing has been put on holdEventually I see the exact headphones on his personal desk with a note on top.I said hey thats the pair! And he responds oh you want these? I was gonna give them awayAnyway Im glad I live elsewhere and never have to go back.
Ive worked with Performance Audio for over two years now purchasing / renting DJ equipment and speakers. They have consistently beat everyone elses prices by a mile and always had top notch customer service. Rich has been particularly awesome to work with and gone above and beyond to help with any issue weve had come up.
I walked into this place wanting to purchase a new microphone and headphones to replace my gaming headset I had been using. I had a few ideas as to what I wanted to get, but they didnt have exactly what I wanted. The nice staff members help me pick out some replacements and made the experience nice.
$30 Zoom H5 audio recording rental. I dont know if Im really the type of customer they prefer for how little I spent, but youd never know it the way they treated me. They made sure I was well taken care of, spending the time to explain to me what everything was on the device and how to work it. It was a 1 day rental, but they let me pick it up the evening of the day previous and return it the day after with no problem. They gave me extra batteries just in case. When I was done, they made sure I didnt leave without having all my questions answered. I did not feel rushed or unimportant. Quite the opposite. After I returned the equipment, as I was walking away I couldnt help but think that this is the model way to run a company.
Friendly guys, always willing to cut a deal. Great selection on studio/live music gear. Hours are weird, but the store selection and personell makes up for it
Superior staff that knows about the products they sell. Not the biggest showroom around, but there is a lot more inventory on hand then you might think at first, probably because its so well organized 😎Great place for the professional or hobby musician shop.
They were quick and simple to use. Had everything we needed
Great place to deal with. Joe really helped me out with my order due to a mix-up in shipping weight. The item was dropped shipped and arrived in 2 days. I am really happy with Performance Audio.
I spent 2 full weeks trying to figure out what was wrong with my podcast audio setup. Finally stumbled upon these guys and within 2 minutes they knew what the problem was. I walked out of there with the right cable and a grounding plug. Got home and found that they were exactly right. Now my sound is crystal clear. Im so appreciative for people like this who actually know what theyre talking about! New lifetime customer here.
I wont go anywhere else to have my turntables serviced. They are the best in the state! Ryan Schilder is there repair guy for turntables and he is the best in his class hands down! Hes the only one I will allow to work on my dj turntables. You guys deserve 5-stars. Thank you!
Everything you need for any event. Great retail store. The rental department has everything you need with the best prices.
These guys are professionals- I can have a serious conversation about sound design here 👌🏻
Had great service and was speedy. Would reccomend!
I love coming here when I need something. The staff is always friendly and willing to help you find what you need, even if you dont know exactly what your looking for.
Great service. Great selection. Great prices! Theyre awesome!
Audio is what they do. They tested a sound board while I waited. Had me on my way quickly. Thanks, Performance Audio
Amazing selection and competitive prices!
I ordered several items based on product availability & provided my credit card information. Performance Audio never sent the items. I should have ordered from local vendors like I usually do.
Place is awesome. staff is professional
An absolutely first rate crew! Zach and the team saved me last week when I needed an audio set up for an offsite meeting. He even used FaceTime with me to walk me through and double check the set up. Their team is accommodating, knowledgeable, friendly and service-oriented. My thanks for a job well done!
Nice and friendly staff. Always quick to help me out. Also offered to help load my truck.
Great service. You can find things here you wont find anywhere else. Great return policy too.
Performance Audio is the best. Their customer service is unparalleled and they can get just about any equipment. It has been a pleasure working with them for over 10 years.
Great selection, amazing staff. Best place to go for performance audio in SLC, if not the entire world.
Best or stop shop for pro audio, backline rentals, stage lighting. Staff is very knowledgeable and professional and just plain nice.
Great help and educated staff. Always have what I need.
With less than 24 hours before my sisters wedding, our other audio rental fell through. I called Performance Audio, was connected with Tom Saltas, and within an hour and a half I had a everything I needed. You could say, he literally saved the wedding. Tom color coded all the cables, walked me through the setup, and even gave me his cell to call him in case we had any problems.
I rented a mic from Performance and they were excellent. The gent who helped me took time to show me how it works, and it all worked out great.
Really cool store they have everthing and even stuff I didnt know existed
Thank you for your on the spot help with an audio problem. The service here is amazing!
These guys are the best. Amazing customer service and selection
