Recording Studio Quality Vocals with Volt USB Audio Interface
Description
Universal Audio’s Volt 176 desktop recording interface for Mac/PC and iPad/iPhone delivers 1-in/2-out USB 24-bit/192kHz audio conversion, tone shaping via 76 Compressor (based on UA’s iconic 1176), selectable Vintage mic preamp mode and a suite of industry-leading software. Universal Audio created Volt 176 for singers, songwriters, musicians, livestreamers and podcasters who want to easily record audio with big studio sound. The Volt features top-of-the-line audio 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.
Record Yourself with Best-in-Class Audio Quality
From the team that brought you the game-changing Apollo interface, Volt 176 delivers superior studio sound quality, with more character and tone than any USB interface in its class.
Capture a Classic Vocal with Vintage Mic Preamp Mode
Control Volume Peaks with UA Compression
Get album-ready punch and presence with Volt 176's onboard 76 Compressor, an innovative analog circuit inspired by UA's classic 1176 Limiting Amplifier. The 76 Compressor features three perfectly tailored presets to tame voice, guitars, synths and drum machines. Just plug in, pick a setting and play.
Stay Inspired 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 176 gives you simple 1-in/2-out audio connections. Just plug a mic or instrument into the front panel. Then connect your speakers or headphones to monitor your audio with no latency. With Volt, you'll be creating like a pro, fast.
iPad and iPhone Ready
When traveling light, plug Volt 176 into your iPad or iPhone, and you can easily create beats and samples, record your band’s rehearsals and edit songs anywhere.
