The Universal Audio Volt 476 USB interface has four inputs, a vintage preamp, legendary compression and a complete suite of audio software.

Universal Audio's Volt 476 is a 4-channel recording interface for Mac/PC and iPad/iPhone that features added inputs for collaborating, 24-bit/192kHz audio conversion, tone shaping via 76 Compressor, vintage mic preamp mode and a suite of industry-leading software. As a desktop 4-in/4-out USB audio interface, it delivers professional audio conversion and functions as a 76 Compressor. The Volt 476 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.

The Volt 476 captures the warm sound of a vintage UA 610 tube preamp; the 76 compressor is based on UA's 1176 rack unit from 1967.

Produce with Best-in-Class Audio Quality

From the team that brought you the game-changing Apollo interface, Volt 476 delivers superior studio sound quality, with more character and tone than any USB interface in its class. 

The Universal Audio Volt 476 has four inputs, phantom power, MIDI in/out and a studio-quality headphone amplifier.

Get Classic Sounds 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 476 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 476 interface. There's no need to buy anything else.

Control Volume Peaks with UA Compression

Get album-ready punch and presence with Volt 476'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 476 gives you simple 4-in/4-out audio connections. Just plug your mics, guitars or synths into the front panel. Then connect your speakers or headphones to monitor your audio with no latency. With Volt, you’ll be producing like a pro, fast.

iPad and iPhone Ready

When traveling light, plug Volt 476 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 476 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.
