Standard Audio

Standard Audio is a Los Angeles-based manufacturer of professional recording equipment built around a single guiding principle: create unique and creative tools for modern record makers. Founded on a deep appreciation for the character and grit of vintage signal processing, Standard Audio’s designs draw from classic JFET limiter circuits, 1960s PA hardware, and modified noise reduction units from the ’70s and ’80s — reimagined with modern features and studio-ready reliability. The result is a focused line of 500-series and rack-format processors that bring aggressive compression, harmonic color, and unconventional creative options to contemporary sessions.
