How do you capture the magic of music? Well, Universal Audio has been doing this for over 60 years and is now also available for your home studio!

Bill Putnam Sr. was involved with legendary recordings of Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole and many, many others, over 60 years ago. But at the time, he had to make do with mono, a limited number of tracks and a lot of other limitations. So Mr. Putnam came up with all kinds of new techniques and as a result Universal Audio was created with the legendary 610 tube console, a multi-band equalizer, the 'vocal booth' and Universal Audio was also involved with the first stereo recordings, making Putnam a real sound pioneer who made it his specialty to think:  what do musicians want?

That very rich tradition is now continued by his son Bill Putnam Jr. Because today’s musicians want that full analog sound of yesterday with the today’s ease and endless possibilities. That's what Universal Audio offers for professional musicians in the studio and for anyone who wants to record vocals or guitar at home with the same quality.
