Cutting-edge Interface with Built-in Analog Compression

The Universal Audio Volt 276 leverages UA’s renowned analog expertise to deliver a USB-C audio interface worthy of a decades-long legacy. The Volt 276 boasts top-flight analog circuitry, along with class-leading 24-bit/192kHz AD/DA conversion, enabling you to create professional-sounding music productions, livestreams, and podcasts. This bus-powered audio interface boasts two microphone preamplifiers with switchable 610-style analog sound and convenient input metering. This interface’s crown jewel, however, is its built-in 1176-derived FET compressor with three push-button application modes. Beyond that, stereo analog outputs and a headphones output make monitoring a snap, plus you get direct monitoring for zero-latency operation. You also get MIDI I/O for your synths and controllers. The Volt 276 vaunts a rugged, retro-inspired industrial design and comes with a cutting-edge native software bundle.

Infuses your tracks with 610-style analog sound

UA is renowned for their classic analog designs, and the Volt 276 reflects their decades of experience. This audio interface includes two analog mic/line preamplifiers that sound startingly similar to Universal Audio’s classic 610 tube pre. The Volt 276’s Vintage Preamp Mode employs expertly designed op-amps and solid-state electronics to deliver tube-like dynamic saturation and clipping, arming you with powerful, intuitive tone shaping for your microphones and line-level signals. Best of all, Vintage Preamp Mode is selectable, which enables you to use the Volt 276 with external preamps and channel strips with zero added coloration.

Includes a real-deal 1176-derived FET compressor

The UREI 1176 is legendary a bona fide pro studio workhorse that can be used to add punch and presence to everything from drums to guitars to vocals. The Volt 276 includes a built-in FET compressor based on the classic 1176. But this isn’t a digital emulation; rather, it’s a real-deal analog compressor. The Volt 276’s compressor includes three easy-to-use push-button modes for Vocals, Guitars, and Fast sources (the latter is tailor-made for drums), ensuring optimal settings for any source.
