Universal Audio: Studio Quality Equipment for Serious Creators
Universal Audio, founded in 1958 by Bill Putnam Sr., boasts a rich history in audio technology. Bill Putnam Sr. is most known for crafting legendary analogue recording equipment such as the UREI 1176 compressor and 610 console preamps, now faithfully re-issued by Universal Audio in the 21st century. 1965 saw the acquisition of Universal Audio by Studio Electronics. The brand was defunct for several decades until it was re-established by Bill Putnam Jr. in 1999. Since then, Universal Audio has focused on producing audio interfaces, plugins, and analogue hardware. The critically acclaimed Apollo interfaces have become a staple for home and professional studio use, and the integration of the groundbreaking UAD DSP plugin platform has revolutionised digital audio processing. They continue to develop vintage emulations and unique plugins, marrying vintage warmth with modern convenience, making them a staple in professional and home studios worldwide.
