Sound Power was founded in 2025 with one clear mission: to push the boundaries of performance audio and video. Born from a passion for sound that inspires, connects, and transforms, Sound Power is where cutting-edge system design meets next-level education.

At the helm is Mercer Aplin, whose background blends real-world experience with a deep commitment to education. After nearly a decade designing AV systems at Chicago’s Threshold Acoustics, Mercer now shares his knowledge as a Clinical Assistant Professor of Audio Technology at Purdue University. His work bridges the gap between professional practice and the classroom, keeping Sound Power rooted in both innovation and practicality.

From immersive soundscapes in iconic venues to empowering the next generation of audio professionals, Sound Power is about precision, creativity, and impact. We don’t just design systems—we design experiences. And we don’t just teach tech—we shape the future of the field.

This is Sound Power. Let’s turn it up.
