Atkinson Sound - 435-783-5330 - About Us
About Us & Our History
Atkinson Sound was started in August 1980 by Hoyt Atkinson. Our first jobs were simple DJ systems, use for dances at the local high school. Holt Electric & Electronics did the “big” jobs. The history of Holt Electric is an important part of our history. Many of our customers were clients of Holt Electric & Electronics. Most celebrations used Holt Electric & Electronics, and later Atkinson Sound.
LaVere A. Holt was the first person in Summit, Wasatch, and Duchesne counties areas who provided sound systems. Larry or “Electrical Larry” as he was called started his sound business in 1924. At the time, he built most of his equipment from parts he had on hand. He made his first public address speakers out of wood. He built his own amplifiers. Larry was one of the first audio pioneers in the industry. Holt Electric provided electrical services, sold and repaired radios, appliances and later televisions. His sound systems were used at Sunrise breakfast in the canyons, rodeos, demolition derbies, livestock and talent shows. Sound was provided at the Summit County Fair, Wasatch County Fair, Duchesne County Fair, Kamas Valley Fiesta, Oakley 4th of July Celebration, and Park City Miner Days.
His sound systems were used at many high school rodeos, including the Utah High School Rodeo Finals at Lagoon. Families would use his systems for many reunions. From humble beginnings, his business grew and so did equipment. Larry’s son DeLynn began working with his dad at age 7. DeLynn became heavily involved in the business. The Business name changed to Holt Electric & Electronics, “Our Business is Sound Business” Sound for All Occasions! Larry and DeLynn kept up on technology, and were providing “State of the Art” Equipment. Together, Larry and DeLynn operated the business until the death of Larry in January 1989.
After Larry’s death, the family decided not to operate the sound part of Holt Electric & Electronics. All of their clients became customers of Atkinson Sound. The Holt family sold Hoyt much of Larry’s equipment. Atkinson Sound took up where the Larry and DeLynn left off; we still have many of their customers today. Atkinson Sound is committed to provide the best equipment and personal to every customer. Atkinson Sound has expanded into a regional Sound Rental/Production and Audio Video Integrator. Having grown from what Larry Holt started in 1924 to one of the West’s most preferred audio and video companies; Atkinson Sound is “Sound at its Best”
