Manufacturer: Universal Audio - a legend in studio technology

Universal Audio is one of the world's most renowned manufacturers of professional audio technology. The company was founded by Bill Putnam Sr., a pioneer of modern studio technology whose innovations - such as the 610 Tube Preamp and the 1176 Limiting Amplifier - have made music history. Today, Universal Audio is a leader in combining analog sound aesthetics with state-of-the-art digital technology.

The Volt series was created by the same development team behind the award-winning Apollo interfaces. With the Volt 876, Universal Audio continues its tradition: premium audio quality, legendary sound character and intuitive operation - all combined in one USB interface.

Technical details: What's inside the Universal Audio Volt 876 USB Recording Studio

The Volt 876 is a 24-in/28-out USB audio interface in rack format that has been developed to meet the highest demands. Eight analog inputs with integrated vintage preamps and 1176-inspired compressors deliver the full, warm sound of classic studios directly during recording. The 32-bit/192 kHz conversion guarantees exceptionally detailed sound reproduction - perfect for professional productions on Mac, PC, iPad and iPhone.

Two of the eight inputs are accessible from the front and offer switchable Hi-Z inputs for the direct connection of guitars or other instruments. The system can be expanded to up to 24 analog input channels via ADAT I/O - ideal for bands, ensembles or demanding studio environments.

Also on board is the Assistive Auto-Gain function, which automatically sets the optimum input level. The interface also offers two independent, low-latency cue mixes with talkback function. All front panel settings can be saved and recalled at any time as required - an invaluable advantage in a professional workflow.

The Volt 876 not only connects seamlessly to computers, but is also iPad and iPhone compatible. With the right adapter, it can be used on the move - whether for songwriting in the rehearsal room, recording on the road or sampling in the park.

The integration with the LUNA Digital Audio Workstation, developed by Universal Audio, is particularly noteworthy. Here, hardware and software merge into a sophisticated production environment with AI-supported features such as "Hey Luna" voice control, instrument recognition and smart tempo tools.
