Universal Audio Volt 176 USB Recording Studio Product Details

Description

Classic studio sound, anywhere.

Universal Audio designed Volt 176 for singers, songwriters, musicians, livestreamers and podcasters who want an easy way to record audio with big studio sound. This portable 1-in/2-out USB recording interface for Mac, PC, iPad and iPhone features a built-in vintage mic preamp mode as well as a classic analog compressor-ready to capture your inspiration with professional studio results.

Collaborate with best-in-class audio quality

From the team that created the groundbreaking Apollo interface, Volt 176 delivers superior studio sound quality with more character and tone than any other USB interface in its class.

Capture Magical Vocals with Vintage Mic Preamp Mode

There are few sounds that can match a vintage Universal Audio 610 tube preamp used to record everyone from Ray Charles to Van Halen. Volt 176 delivers the rich, full sound of this classic UA mic/line/instrument preamp, thanks to its built-in tube emulation circuitry, exclusive to UA.

Control volume peaks with UA Compression

Get album-ready punch and presence with the Volt 176's built-in 76 Compressor-an innovative analog circuit inspired by UA's classic 1176 Limiting Amplifier. The 76 Compressor offers three perfectly tuned presets to tame voices, guitars, synthesizers and drum machines. Just plug it in, choose a setting, and play.

Stay inspired with a curated suite of audio software

Some audio interfaces come with a hodgepodge of random audio apps. But not Volt. Instead, we've assembled a bundle of great music production tools, virtual instruments, and plug-ins, including Ableton, Melodyne, UJAM's Virtual Drummer, Marshall, Ampeg, and more

Easy In, Easy Out

Volt 176 offers easy 1-in/2-out audio connections. Just plug a microphone or instrument into the front panel, then plug in your speakers or headphones to listen to your audio without latency. With Volt, you can get creative like a pro, lightning fast.

iPad & iPhone Ready

Traveling light? Plug Volt 176 into your iPad or iPhone and you can easily create beats and samples, record your band's rehearsals, and edit songs anywhere.
