Universal Audio Volt 276 USB-C Audio Interface

The Universal Audio Volt 276 takes use of UA's legendary analog expertise to create a USB-C audio interface befitting of a decades-long reputation. The Volt 276 has first-rate analog circuitry as well as class-leading 24-bit/192kHz AD/DA conversion, allowing you to produce professional-sounding music productions, live streaming, and podcasts. This bus-powered audio interface has two microphone preamplifiers, switchable 610-style analog sound, and input metering. The crown gem of this interface, however, is its built-in 1176-derived FET compressor with three push-button application modes. Aside from that, dual analog outputs and a headphones output make monitoring a breeze, and direct monitoring is available for zero-latency operation. In addition, you have MIDI I/O for your synthesizers and controllers. The Volt 276 vaunts a rugged, retro-inspired industrial design and comes with a cutting-edge native software bundle.

Armed with class-leading AD/DA conversion

The Universal Audio Volt 276 has excellent AD/DA conversion, which is a must-have feature for professional-sounding recordings. This enhanced conversion circuitry provides full 24-bit/192kHz performance, delivering true-to-life detail and clarity with a high degree of dimensionality. Sweetwater experts have discovered that projects produced with this USB-C audio interface are completely top-notch. You'll be able to make rock-solid, album-worthy tunes with the Volt 276 in your studio.

Infuses your tracks with 610-style analog sound

UA is known for its traditional analog designs, and Volt 276 exemplifies that expertise. This audio interface has two analog mic/line preamplifiers that sound uncannily identical to Universal Audio's famous 610 tube preamplifier. The Vintage Preamp Mode on the Volt 276 uses skillfully built op-amps and solid-state circuitry to provide tube-like dynamic saturation and clipping, giving you strong, intuitive tone shaping for your microphones and line-level inputs. The best part is that Vintage Preamp Mode is configurable, allowing you to use the Volt 276 with external preamps and channel strips without adding coloring.

Includes a real-deal 1176-derived FET compressor

The UREI 1176 is a classic pro studio workhorse that can add punch and presence to everything from drums to guitars to voices. The Volt 276 has an integrated FET compressor based on the vintage 1176. However, this is not a digital simulation; rather, it is a genuine analog compressor. The compressor on the Volt 276 has three simple push-button modes for Vocals, Guitars, and Fast sources (the latter is designed specifically for drumming), providing appropriate settings for every source. The Universal Audio Volt 276 USB-C Audio Interface has no warranty.
