Full Compass Systems Review

Worth it

Should I use Full Compass Systems?

Pro audio, video, lighting and music equipment retailer (page returned a bot-check at review time) - fullcompass.com

· 4 days ago

Legitimate, well-rated US pro-AV retailer (4.4–4.68 across review sites) with a low-price guarantee, expert phone support, rentals and service. Skip it if you want used gear, in-person demos, or friction-free self-serve buying of small items.

Confidence

Medium. Based on ~12 public sources; the product page returned a bot-check, so findings lean on third-party reviews and official subpages.

Best for

  • Churches, venues and studios outfitting full AV rigs
  • Voice-over and podcast studio builders
  • Buyers wanting expert advice with price matching
  • Rentals and purchases from one vendor

Not for

  • Guess: Used-gear bargain hunters; stock is new retail
  • Guess: Shoppers who must demo gear in person first
  • Guess: Non-US buyers wanting simple local returns and warranty help
  • One-off small purchases; the guided-sales model is overkill

Gotchas - check before you buy

medium

Low Price Guarantee terms not detailed in sources; verify match rules before ordering

low

Rental orders need security deposits; budget for them

low

Support is phone-first (800-356-5844); expect guided sales, not pure self-serve
