The Universal Audio Volt 2 Studio Pack USB interface is a complete recording solution with a mic, mount, and headphones.

The Volt 2 Studio Pack from Universal Audio features top-of-the-line quality in a retro-inspired industrial design, making it easy to create professional-sounding music productions, livestreams and podcasts at home or on the road. Built-in vintage-style mic preamps and tone shaping bring the rich, full sound of classic UA outboard gear to your studio. It includes a full suite of audio and music tools from Ableton, Relab, Melodyne, UJAM, Marshall, Ampeg and more, giving you all the creative control and flexibility you need. This studio pack also includes a condenser mic, cable and studio monitoring headphones so you’ll be recording like a pro, right out of the box.

The Universal Audio Volt 2 Studio Pack has two inputs, phantom power, MIDI in/out and a studio-quality headphone amplifier.

Collaborate with Best-in-Class Audio Quality

From the team that brought you the game-changing Apollo interface, Volt 2 delivers superior studio sound quality, with more character and tone than any USB interface in its class.

The Volt 2 employs emulation circuity to capture the warm sound of a vintage UA 610 tube preamp.

Capture Classic Vocals with Vintage Mic Preamp Mode

Few sounds can compare to a vintage Universal Audio 610 tube preamp, as used to record everyone from Ray Charles to Van Halen. Volt 2 gives you the rich, full sound of this classic UA mic/line/instrument preamp, thanks to its built-in tube emulation circuitry, a UA exclusive.

Universal Audio includes a full suite of software and audio plug-ins with the Volt 2 Studio Pack interface. There's no need to buy anything else.

Create with a Curated Suite of Audio Software

Some audio interfaces give you a smattering of random audio apps. Not Volt. Instead, UA put together a bundle of serious music production tools, virtual instruments, and plug-ins including Ableton, Melodyne, UJAM’s Virtual Drummer, Marshall, Ampeg and more.

Easy In, Easy Out

Volt 2 gives you simple 2-in/2-out audio connections. Just plug the included condenser mic into the front panel and engage 48V phantom power. Then connect your headphones to monitor audio with no latency. With Volt, you'll be creating like a pro, fast.

iPad and iPhone Ready

If you're traveling light, plug Volt 2 into your iPad or iPhone, and you can easily create beats and samples, record your band’s rehearsals and edit songs anywhere.

Includes a 30-day Free Trial to UAD Spark

Volt 2 users get an extended 30-day free trial to UAD Spark, an ever-expanding library of world-class plug-ins and instruments for a low monthly price. UAD Spark plug-ins run natively on Mac and will give your recordings the pro analog tones heard on your favorite albums.

Capture Inspiration for Years to Come

Featuring rugged all-metal construction and sleek, vintage-inspired industrial design, Volt 2 elevates your production space with impeccable style, built to last decades.
