TL Audio is a British company that specializes in designing and manufacturing high-quality audio equipment for professional and home recording studios. The company was founded in 1990 by David Kempson, who had previously worked for companies such as Neve and Trident.

TL Audio’s products include a range of valve-based processors, mixing consoles, preamplifiers, and equalizers, as well as a range of hybrid products that combine solid-state and valve-based technologies. The company is known for its high-quality components and meticulous attention to detail, which results in equipment that is highly regarded by audio professionals.

One of TL Audio’s most popular products is the Fatman, a valve-based stereo compressor designed for use in home recording studios. The Fatman has been praised for its warm, musical sound and its ease of use. TL Audio has ceased operations. While the company was once known for its high-quality components and meticulous attention to detail, it is no longer actively producing new products.
