Monster Cable Products, Inc. was founded in 1979 by Noel Lee, who was then a laser-fusion design engineer at Lawrence-Livermore Laboratory, as well as an audiophile and professional drummer. Lee discovered that wires of different constructions produced varying degrees of audio performance when hooked up to loudspeakers. From this discovery, he developed a high performance speaker cable, named it Monster Cable, and literally created an industry. The invention of Monster Cable created a new product category that revolutionized the audio market. Prior to Monster Cable, most stereo systems were wired with ordinary "zip-cord," the same cable used for electrical household and lamp wire. Their inferior construction and cheap materials restricts power, dynamic range and clarity in the lows, mids, and highs.Lee chose the name "Monster" because it sounded strong and powerful. It became an immediate hit with consumers. In fact, the name Monster Cable is so synonymous with high quality and high performance, customers often assume that any cable they purchase in reputable stores would be Monster even though there are other cable brands.

Universal Audio’s name is synonymous with heritage and quality. Founded in the 1950’s by Bill Putnam Sr., Universal Audio was a natural extension of his unparalleled success as a recording engineer, studio designer, and inventor. Putnam was a favorite engineer of Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Ray Charles, Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald and many other music icons of the time. The studios he designed and operated were acclaimed for their distinctive sound, and provided a fertile environment for his innovations and experiments.In 2000, Bill Putnam Sr. was awarded the Technical Achievement Grammy® in praise of his multiple contributions to the recording industry, including the first use of artificial reverberation, effects sends, and the vocal booth. Universal Recorders in Chicago, and United and Western studios in Los Angeles (now Ocean Way and EastWest studios, respectively) all preserve elements of his original room designs.Today, Universal Audio is fulfilling that goal, bridging the worlds of vintage analog and DSP technology in a creative environment where musicians, analog designers, and DSP engineers intermingle and exchange ideas every day. Digital or analog, UA remains committed to the “hand assembled” ideal that has long been forgotten by other audio manufacturers.
