From humble beginnings as a small tool manufacturer in Porto Alegre, Brazil over 60 years ago, Forjas Taurus (translation: Taurus Forge) has become a diversified, international company and one of the largest small arms manufacturers in the world. The company produced its first revolver in 1941. The gun combined elements from several Manufacturers of that day, including Colt, Smith & Wesson and certain Spanish brands. This first revolver was designated the Model 38101SO. Taurus soon became a major factor in the South American market and experienced continuous growth. In 1989, the company celebrated its 50th Anniversary. The celebration was capped off at the January 1990 S.H.O.T. Show, with Taurus giving away a brand new 1990 Ford Taurus to a lucky Dealer from New Mexico.There was cause for celebration in 1994 when Forjas Taurus received the prestigious ISO 9001 designation from the International Organization for Standardization for superior manufacturing and marketing practices. Only one other firearms company in the world has obtained this designation. Currently, Taurus U.S.A. is at work to share this honor with the parent company.

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.
