Who We Are & What We’re About

SSP Custom Sound LLC is an A/V/L company specializing in houses of worship, commercial buildings, and conference rooms, as well as audio production rentals.

SSP Custom Sound began operations in 1998, as a small, part time business with nothing more than a small work van and some tools.

Owner & Founder, Steve Pappas drove truck and delivered fuel oil during the day, and built up this fledgling venture on the side, utilizing the experience he gained while working with a local sound company in the 1990’s.

Over the years, he worked on serving the needs of small businesses and churches by doing sound consulting work, system repairs, and full audio and video system installation.

Now, SSP Custom Sound continues to grow and expand, serving the greater Mid-Atlantic region for not only Audio & Video System installation and repairs, but also lighting and surveillance.

Throughout their combined years of experiences, Steve and his son & business partner, Joshua Pappas, have met with hundreds of churches and organizations to service their technology needs.

A locally owned business, SSP Custom Sound strives to keep costs as low as possible, while providing high quality equipment and installation.

SSP Custom Sound will assess your church, school, conference room or organization’s needs, and design a system that will meet those needs and match any style. We have acquired dealership and distribution agreements with the equipment we install. SSPCS is familiar with all the equipment it proposes and knows its performance and dependability.

As business owners, we have a heart for loving God, loving others, and to be honest and truthful.
