Bill Putnam Sr. who was an extremely successful recording engineer originally founded Universal Audio in the 1960s. From the early fifties through the 1980s, Putnam worked with a who's who roster of acts including Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby and Nat King Cole. He founded Universal Recording in Chicago and began designing and building his own recording equipment, as he was dissatisfied with what was commercially available at the time. After moving to Los Angeles to open United Recording, which is still in operation under new owners as Oceanway Recording and Cello Studios,
he founded Universal Audio and began selling some of his creations, including the 1176 Limiting Amplifier, commercially.

When Bill Sr. passed away in 1989 his sons, Jim and Bill Putnam Jr. discovered original schematic diagrams for Universal Audio products, including the 1176LN, in their father's attic. In 1998, Jim and Bill
Putnam Jr. re-founded Universal Audio.In 1999 Universal Audio shipped its first hardware products, the re-issued 1176LN and LA-2A compressor/limiter based on the schematics he found in his dad's attic. Since that time Universal Audio, in addition to expanding its hardware line, has released a line of digital software emulations that run as plug-ins on a wide variety of digital audio workstations. With a strong foothold in both the analog and digital worlds, Universal Audio is a company who's future is a bright as their past.
