UNIVERSAL AUDIO Volt 2 Max

Universal Audio Volt 2 Max is a desktop 10-in/4-out USB audio interface built for recording and music production. It combines 32-bit/192 kHz conversion with two digitally controlled Tone Shaping preamps and onboard Max Processing compression, allowing you to shape polished, mix-ready sounds while recording.

The preamps offer Warmth, Focus and Shine modes, while six real-time compressor presets inspired by the UA 1176 and Teletronix LA-2A are tailored for vocals, guitars and bass. Optical ADAT/S/PDIF input expands the system by up to eight digital channels. A full-colour Smart Display, Auto-Gain and Clip Protection streamline level setting, while dual headphone outputs, built-in Talkback, MIDI I/O and an integrated USB hub keep sessions organised.
