Cemal's Story

Cemal Ozturk is a highly-experienced and versatile Electronics Engineer with background in analogue/digital electronic system design and integration; audio and consumer electronics; robotics and mechatronics. He holds an honours degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from Glasgow Caledonian University and studied on the University of Strathclyde’s MSc course in Computer Integrated Manufacturing.

Cemal Ozturk was born in Istanbul, Turkiye. His first contact with electronics was as a young boy in 1976 when he borrowed a few copies of Elektor magazine from a family relation; a lifelong passion was sparked. That same year saw him discovering his other major enthusiasms - the guitar and the world of architecture.

Cemal moved to London from Turkiye in 1986, then to Glasgow in 1988. Combining his zeal for architecture and electronics, he formed his own company, Ozturk Modelmakers, specialising in modelmaking and prototyping. Ozturk Modelmakers went on to become the pre-eminent firm of architectural, engineering and marine modelmakers in Scotland, working nationally and internationally with renowned architects and designers to realise, in three dimensions at scale, such projects as the Scottish Parliament Building and Stirling Castle’s Great Hall. He created the prominent Unbuild Mackintosh architectural models and subsequent exhibition of unrealised designs by Charles Rennie Mackintosh.

During these years, Cemal continued to grow and expand his appetite for all things electronic and mechanical, including for consumer electronics and educational robotics. In further embracing electronics and robotics, in 1996 he re-branded his company as Ozturk & Robotica. This expansion led to projects across the electronics and robotics sector with distinguished companies such as Kuka Roboter in Germany.

Cemal Ozturk had, during his earlier career, retained his profound interest in audio electronics and was lucky enough, in 2007, to meet and begin a collaboration with the celebrated Graham Langley, co-founder of Amek, whose recording and broadcast consoles revolutionised the audio industry.

The coming together of Cemal Ozturk and Graham Langley has resulted in a remarkable collaboration and has led to the birth of Total Audio Control, with its highly sought-after flagship ‘’Designed by Langley’’ series of pro-audio products.

Graham's Story

When Graham Langley used all his birthday present money to buy himself a Futurama guitar in 1962, two things happened. Number one: he thought himself a pretty cool cat at the age of 13. Number two: the wheels were set in motion for a career which was to prove by turns rewarding, arduous, fun, exasperating, and ultimately hugely successful.

In 1965 Graham bought the Framus electric guitar which he still uses today, and started to build speaker cabinets in woodworking classes at William Hulme’s Grammar School, in Manchester, UK. This marked the beginning of an interest in electronics. By the end of his school years, Graham was beginning to hang out at the fringes of the music industry - managing a couple of local bands – and his next big step was enrolment at Bolton Institute of Technology, north of Manchester, where he worked on power amps, equalisers and synthesisers. He graduated with a College Associateship in Electronics.

Valuable work experience followed at Audio Developments and Tape Recorder Developments, in the UK’s West Midlands region. The companies made mixers and tape recorders for a glittering array of clients, including Clair Bros, Yes, The Moody Blues and Apple Records.

A reunion with old school friend Nick Franks in 1973 led to them starting up Amek, with the fledgling company making electronic crossovers, phasing units, and 10-into-1 mixers. Before long, Amek found a sure footing on the bottom rungs of the professional audio industry ladder, and began to climb.

Amek and associated companies were winners of the UK’s coveted Queen’s Award for Export Achievement, for three consecutive years.

In 1983 Graham achieved the prestige status of Chartered Engineer.

When Harman acquired Amek in 1997, Graham stayed on for some time as Technical Director, before leaving in 2001, and setting up Langley Design. This was an opportunity to further push the boundaries of excellence in quality analogue audio.

Working with Total Audio Control is an exciting new avenue for Graham and he is delighted to be involved.
