UNIVERSAL AUDIO Volt 1 Gen 2

Universal Audio Volt 1 Gen 2 is a compact 2-in/2-out USB audio interface for musicians, producers, podcasters and content creators. New 32-bit/192 kHz conversion captures recordings with excellent clarity, while the Tone Shaping microphone preamp offers up to 60 dB of gain and three analogue-inspired modes: Warmth, Focus and Shine.

A separate Hi-Z instrument input lets you record a microphone and guitar or bass at the same time. Loopback makes streaming, podcasting and online content production straightforward, while balanced monitor outputs and a stereo headphone output cover essential monitoring needs. Volt 1 Gen 2 is USB powered and works with computers as well as compatible iPhone and iPad devices, making it equally practical in a home studio and on the road.
