About Ray Audio Video

Ray Audio Video is the region's leading integrator of audio, video, and other low-voltage technologies.

Founded in 1937 as Ray's Distributing in Glens Falls, NY, the business has continued to succeed through many changes over the course of time. The photo on the right was taken in downtown Glens Falls in the early 1950's and the business was located directly above Lapham's Sporting Goods and Photography (note the Lapham's sign just in front of the car transporting then Vice President Richard Nixon). In 1954, Ray's Distributing and Lapham's Sporting Goods and Photography merged and became Ray Supply, Inc. Shortly after the merger, Ray Supply re-located 4 miles north to what was then known as "Miller Hill" in Queensbury, NY where we became a local landmark.

As Ray Supply we grew to become the area's go-to company for a variety of electronic and photography products and services. Located below is a list of just some of the areas firsts and most notable moments in the history of Ray Supply.

By 2016, custom audio/video integration had grown to become our primary product and service offering and it was time for us to maintain our focus solely on these services. So, we re-located to our current location at 9 Pine Street in Glens Falls, NY and with that move we changed our name to Ray Audio Video. Today Ray Audio Video continues to design, sell, install, and service audio, video, and low-voltage control systems for residential, commercial, municipal, and educational clients.
