Words by Mixdown staff

All models except the Volt 1 feature a full-colour Smart Display for at-a-glance monitoring of inputs, gain, tone shaping, and more.

Universal Audio Inc. (UA), a worldwide leader in audio production tools, is proud to introduce Volt Gen 2 and Volt Max, a new generation of USB audio interfaces built for musicians, producers and podcasters. The six new models combine 32-bit audio conversion with Tone Shaping Preamps, Max dynamics processing, smart recording features, and integration with LUNA and today’s leading DAWs.

“Every artist has a sound they’re chasing,” says Bill Putnam Jr., CEO of Universal Audio. “We want Volt Gen 2 to give people the confidence to explore that sound, experiment, and keep creating — whether they’re recording their first song or working on their tenth album.”

Built by the team behind industry-standard Apollo interfaces, Volt Gen 2 brings UA analog sound and workflows to an easy-to-use format. The new lineup features Tone Shaping Preamps with three switchable character modes — Warmth (Tube), Focus (Solid State), and Shine (British Class-A) — putting record-ready tones at the input stage with the push of a button.

These models also add Auto-Gain with Clip Protection, automatically setting the optimal input level, and can automatically detect mic, line and instrument sources, making setup faster and easier for creators of all stripes.
