Universal Audio Volt 176: Classic Sound Meets Modern Connectivity
The Universal Audio Volt 176 brings legendary UA sound quality to a compact 1-in/2-out USB interface, perfect for musicians, songwriters, livestreamers, and podcasters. At its heart is an exclusive Vintage Mic Preamp mode that recreates the rich, full sound of UA's classic 610 tube preamp - the same technology used to record legendary artists from Ray Charles to Van Halen. This professional-grade interface delivers 24-bit/192 kHz audio conversion while maintaining compatibility with Mac, PC, iPad, and iPhone.
Taking inspiration from UA's renowned 1176 Limiting Amplifier, the Volt 176 features a built-in analog '76 Compressor with three carefully crafted presets for vocals, instruments, and other sources. The interface includes professional features like 48V phantom power for condenser microphones, a high-quality headphone amplifier for clear monitoring, and Direct Monitoring for latency-free recording. USB bus power eliminates the need for external power supplies, while the included software bundle features professional tools from Ableton, Melodyne, UJAM, Marshall, and Ampeg.
