Pioneer in audio recordings for more than 50 years
Founded in 1958 by Bill Putnam Sr., Universal Audio has always been synonymous with innovative recording equipment . A favorite engineer of Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Ray Charles and others, Bill was a passionate innovator who is considered the Vater of modern audio recording. Many of his legendary studio and equipment designs are still used today. B. Putnam was the inventor of the modern Sound console , des Multiband audio equalizer and he was the first engineer to artificial reverberation used in commercial recordings. Alongside his friend Les Paul, Bill was also involved in the early development of stereophonic recording.
Putnam, known as a busy entrepreneur, founded three audio product companies during his long career: Universal Audio , Studio Electronics and Urei . All three companies built equipment that was widely used upon introduction and would shape studio sound for generations. The boutique compressors LA-2A and 1176 and the 610 tube console are among these legends. With the 610 mixing console, greats like... Sinatra , the Beach Boys and Van Halen their studio albums.
Universal Audio was re-founded in 1999 by Bill's sons James Putnam and Bill Putnam Jr. A twofold approach was planned: On the one hand, the classic analogue recording devices were to be faithfully reproduced in the tradition of his father; and on the other hand, the sound and spirit of Vintage analog technology should be in the new digital recording tools are used.
Impressive effects pedals for guitarists and special guitar recording tools such as the Universal Audio OX are now also part of the range and are extremely popular with fans of outstanding sound.
