Item 4.01       Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

(a)   Previous Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

(i)   
On April 26, 2007, McGladrey & Pullen LLP ("McGladrey & Pullen"), the Plan’s independent registered public accounting firm for the plan year ended December 31, 2005, notified the CTS Corporation Benefit Plan Administration Committee, that McGladrey & Pullen's independence was impaired for the plan year ended December 31, 2006 because of its provision of tax services to a person in a financial reporting oversight role at CTS Corporation.  As a result, McGladrey & Pullen declined to stand for re-appointment as the Plan's independent registered public accounting firm for the December 31, 2006 plan year.

(ii)   
The reports of McGladrey & Pullen on the Plan's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 contained no adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle.

(iii)  
During the years ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2006 and through June 21, 2007, there have been no disagreements with McGladrey & Pullen on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of McGladrey & Pullen would have caused McGladrey & Pullen to make reference thereto in its report on the Plan's financial statements.

(iv)  
During the years ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2006 through June 21, 2007, there have been no reportable events (as defined in Item 304 (a) (1) (v) of Regulation S-K).

(v)  
The Plan has requested that McGladrey & Pullen furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements. A copy of that letter, which was received by the Plan on June 25, 2007, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.

(b)   New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The CTS Corporation Benefit Plan Administration Committee appointed BKD, LLP as the Plan's new independent registered public accounting firm as of June 13, 2007.  During the two most recent fiscal years and through June 21, 2007  the Plan has not consulted with BKD, LLP regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Plan's financial statements, and BKD, LLP did not provide a written report or oral advice to the Plan which BKD, LLP concluded was an important factor considered by the Plan in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue, or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K, or a reportable event, as that term is defined in Item 304 (a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
