TSL Products Acquires JLCooper Electronics Following Founder’s Passing

Following the recent passing of founder Jim Cooper, the future of JLCooper Electronics had become uncertain. The company, long recognized for its control interfaces and automation tools, was at a turning point as the industry awaited clarity on what would come next. That uncertainty has now been resolved, with TSL Products acquiring JLCooper and confirming that operations will continue under its ownership.

JLCooper Electronics has been widely used across broadcast, post production, and Pro Audio environments for its hardware controllers, MIDI interfaces, and automation systems. These products are designed to support detailed control over complex workflows, making them a consistent presence in studios, editing suites, and live production setups.

With the acquisition, JLCooper’s product range becomes part of TSL’s broader ecosystem, which includes audio monitoring and control solutions for professional applications. This alignment brings together control interfaces and monitoring systems under one organization, offering a more unified approach to system design and integration.

Customers can expect continuity for existing JLCooper products, though there may be a short transition period. As manufacturing shifts under TSL, some time will be required to establish new production processes and rebuild inventory levels. During this phase, availability of certain products may be limited while operations are fully integrated.

Looking ahead, TSL has indicated that JLCooper’s technology and expertise will remain part of its ongoing plans. Development and support are expected to continue, with the combined resources of both companies contributing to future updates and refinements in control and workflow solutions.

For professionals working in broadcast, Pro Audio, and post production, the acquisition provides a clear path forward, with continued access to established control tools and the potential for closer integration with monitoring systems over time.
