Universal Audio Professional Audio Equipment
Universal Audio (also known as UA) are one of the leading manufacturers in the world of recording technology - and have been for decades.
Founded by Bill Putnam Sr. in 1958, Universal Audio have earned a fierce reputation in the industry by producing some of the finest audio equipment and software around. UA’s innovations include their jaw-droppingly authentic UAD plugins, hand-built analogue hardware, game-changing UAFX pedal series, powerful DSP accelerators and universally acclaimed audio interfaces. From the affordable, feature-packed Volt series to the premium, studio-grade Apollo range - there’s a Universal Audio audio interface that’s perfect for your budget and requirements.
The Range:
Audio Interfaces | Effects Pedals | Computer Recording | Studio Outboard | Load Boxes
Universal Audio’s legacy goes back to the late '50s and early '60s, where they produced valve-based audio processors such as the iconic 610 preamplifier (which was used on recordings by Jimi Hendrix, Neil Young and the Beach Boys). In the late '60s, UA also began manufacturing outboard gear themselves, including the Teletronix LA-2A compressor and the UREI 1176 limiting amplifier. These units would go on grace countless landmark recordings over the years. UA continues to build top-notch analogue hardware to this day. By painstakingly recreating those iconic studio outboard units using exclusively old-school manufacturing and the same components as the originals, UA ensures that these reissued models deliver that unmistakable warmth, richness, and depth.
In 1999, the Universal Audio company as we know it was established by Bill’s sons, Bill Putnam Jr. and James Putnam. In addition to reissues of legendary analog hardware, UA would begin to offer highly accurate software emulations of sought-after studio gear via their UAD Powered Plug-In platform. Thanks to this revolutionary platform, home and project studios could access a world-class selection of classic equipment from companies such as Neve, API, Manley, Studer, Lexicon and Universal Audio themselves - all within their computer. The stunning realism of the UAD-2 plug-ins has led to them becoming staples of professional recording studios around the world.
You’re in excellent company as a Universal Audio user, with top-flight artists, engineers and producers such as Tycho, Vic Wainstein (Tyler the Creator), Jacquire King (Kings of Leon, Tom Waits) and Paul Epworth (Adele, Florence and the Machine) favouring UA audio interfaces and software above all others.
