Welcome to Full Compass!

The corporate headquarters of Full Compass Systems is located in Madison, Wisconsin. With the support of customers, family and friends, our business has grown significantly over the years. What began as a modest commercial recording studio has now expanded to become one of the nation's largest professional audio, video, A/V, lighting and musical instrument dealers.

The facility shown here is our fifth location since the business was started in 1977. Completed in 2009, our 140,000 square-foot facility has enabled us to greatly increase shipping efficiency and add to the selection of products we offer. The building was custom designed to optimize business operations and has additional on-site acreage to allow for future growth. Our warehouse and high-capacity shipping facility are now an incredible 80,000 square feet -- double the size of our previous location. In addition to office and warehouse space, our headquarters includes a spacious retail showroom, two fully equipped production studios and an on-site restaurant for employees.

Increasing capacity and improving operations allows us to provide added value to our most important assets -- our customers.

We value you as a customer and have invested in new construction to provide you the best service and satisfaction possible. Most of the products in our huge in-stock inventory are ready to ship same-day, enabling Full Compass to quickly deliver the products you need with the service you deserve.

Even though Full Compass has grown, we still have strong local roots. In addition to industry tech expos, clinics and workshops, Full Compass hosts many events each year supporting a wide variety of charitable and educational organizations. Our large theater and fine catering staff make Full Compass a sought after venue for everything from elegant fundraising galas to professionally staged rock, jazz and classical performances by area musicians.
