The focus of SEC was the creation of fully-fledged studio systems built around the equipment produced by Universal Audio.

This merger also coincided with another relocation, this time to an 8,100 square foot premises at 11922 Valerio Street in North Hollywood.

Products would continue to carry their own brand names alongside the UREI badge until the mid-1970s, at which point the Universal Audio label was removed from Revision H of the 1176 compressor.

The two companies merged to offer both hardware re-issues of classic Universal Audio and Teletronix recording products, and virtual emulations of audio equipment from a range of manufacturers, including officially-branded emulations of original UA and Teletronix products.

Subsequent models of Apollo also incorporated a technology called Unison, which improved the authenticity of preamp emulations by matching both the impedance of the original hardware as well as its gain level "sweet spots".
