Product Information
The Universal Audio Volt 1 Gen 2 is a next-generation 2-in / 2-out USB audio interface designed for singer-songwriters, musicians, podcasters, and content creators who want professional studio sound in a compact, portable setup. Featuring 32-bit / 192 kHz audio conversion, UA's Tone Shaping Preamp, a dedicated Hi-Z instrument input, and a comprehensive software bundle, Volt 1 makes it easy to capture polished recordings wherever inspiration strikes.
Built by the same team behind Universal Audio's renowned Apollo interfaces, Volt 1 Gen 2 delivers detailed, professional-quality recording with straightforward hands-on controls. Its Tone Shaping Preamp provides 60 dB of available gain and three character modes — Warmth, Focus, and Shine — allowing you to add Tube, Solid State, or British Class-A-inspired tonal character to vocals and instruments at the push of a button.
Professional 32-bit / 192 kHz converters preserve the detail and dynamics of every performance, while the studio-quality headphone and monitor outputs provide clear, confident monitoring throughout recording and mixing. A 48V phantom-powered mic input supports condenser microphones, while the front-panel Hi-Z instrument input makes it easy to connect guitars and other instruments directly.
Volt 1 Gen 2 is USB bus powered, allowing you to create without an external power supply when used with a compatible device. Class-compliant operation provides straightforward connectivity with Mac, Windows, iPad, and iPhone, while compatibility with major DAWs means you can work in the production software you already know.
Built-in Loopback makes Volt 1 Gen 2 ideal for podcasts, livestreams, video calls, and content creation by allowing live input sources to be blended with computer audio. It also works with the UAD Console app and Universal Audio's LUNA Digital Audio Workstation for an integrated recording and production workflow.
Volt 1 Gen 2 includes a premium collection of UAD plug-ins, instruments, and third-party software, including LUNA, UA 610 Tube Preamp & EQ Collection, Teletronix LA-2A Tube Compressor, UA 1176 Classic FET Compressor, guitar and bass amp plug-ins, virtual instruments, and more, giving you a complete creative toolkit right out of the box.
