Founded in 1958 by Bill Putnam Sr., Universal Audio has been synonymous with innovative recording products since its inception.
Universal Audio was re-founded in 1999 by Bill's sons, James Putnam and Bill Putnam Jr., with two main goals: to faithfully reproduce classic analog recording equipment in the tradition of their father; and to design new digital recording tools in with the sound and spirit of vintage analog technology.
Software or hardware, every Universal Audio product is backed by a decades long legacy of innovation, superlative quality, and technical passion.
