UNIVERSAL AUDIO Volt 4 Max

Universal Audio Volt 4 Max is a desktop 12-in/6-out USB audio interface for recording and music production. Its 32-bit/192 kHz converters, two digitally controlled Tone Shaping preamps and onboard Max Processing compression deliver detailed recordings with character and dynamics shaped at the input stage.

Choose Warmth, Focus or Shine preamp modes, then use one of six real-time compressor presets inspired by the UA 1176 and Teletronix LA-2A for vocals, guitars and bass. Four analogue inputs and ADAT/S/PDIF optical expansion support larger sessions. Main/Alt monitor switching makes mix comparisons easy, while two headphone outputs, built-in Talkback, MIDI I/O and a USB hub create an efficient desktop workflow.
