General Info:
About ParadymeParadyme Sound & Vision, residential division with locations in Sacramento and Roseville, is the premier home entertainment provider and systems integrator in Sacramento Area and was named as Best Customer Service in the United States by Custom Retailer Magazine. Since 1976 we have served our clients as both a retailer and custom systems installer. Over the years, we have continually expanded product offerings and services as the home entertainment industry has changed. Paradyme has grown from stereo retailing to providing home theater, home automation, high performance audio, and lighting control. Home security and computer networking are also part of our wide range of installation and integration services. The level of performance we provide for our retail, homeowner, and builder partners has earned us a reputation second to none.Paradyme Car Audio, at our Sacramento location, has an amazing story. It was founded in 1981 with an enthusiasm and desire to have the best possible sound system in the car that also had the built-in factory look. We reached our goal but it was not an easy journey" it took countless trials and experimentation to acquire the skills and techniques we employ today. Along the way, Paradyme won numerous national awards for the best sound in car systems. Many of our craftsmen are still with us today and our tradition of building great sounding systems continues.In time, other family members joined the business. Shirley SooHoo, Leon's wife, managed the financial side. His brothers, Terry and Darryl were recruited. Darryl was still in High School.Outgrowing the small store in 1979, the business moved to a new building at 404 2nd Street, owned and built by two of his customers. The business was renamed Paradyme. New and better brands were added. The business honed its offerings and service skills in Davis. With an extremely educated population, it was not an easy crowd to please. They had a saying, "If you can survive and prosper in Davis, you can succeed anywhere else"After the move to Sacramento, Leon's other brother, Gerry, joined the business. Eventually, the youngest brother, Donald, entered the business after he graduated from Davis. There were now 6 family members actively working. Truly, a family business!Paradyme owes its success to the many long term employees ( over 20 years ) who are still here today. With their extensive knowledge and experience, they are a huge asset to both the company and its customers.Since the beginning, Paradyme is committed to having passionate people who are devoted to this industry, a willingness to invest into their own development, and with a desire to go the extra mile for improved performance.
