The Interface with Studio Tone Onboard

Any recording interface can capture a sound. Volt is different. Built by the same team behind the mighty Apollo Twin, Volt is the only USB audio interface that puts classic UA studio tone right on your desk, with easy push-button control.

We put 70 years of craftsmanship in.
So what comes out has character.

Three Classic Mic Preamp Sounds

Home recordings and phone demos can sound thin and lifeless. Volt gives your recordings incredible tone right from the start. With three preamp modes — Warmth, Focus, and Shine — you can quickly add tone to everything you record.

Warmth
Inspired by the legendary UA 610 tube preamp. Flatters vocals, acoustic guitar, and anything that needs depth and body.
Focus
The punchy, controlled sound of a famous American solid state console. Perfect for rap vocals, electric guitar, and bass.
Shine
The open, airy sound of classic British class-A circuitry. Ideal for any source that needs air and clarity at the top end.

Add Punch with Max Processing
Volt Max models let you punch up your vocals and instruments as you track. With six presets ranging from "Rap Vocals" to "Jangly Acoustic," you'll get radio-ready sounds based on iconic 1176, LA-2A, and VCA studio compressors.

See the Big Picture with Smart Display
Volt Max models give you a beautiful full-color Smart Display that shows your inputs, levels, and settings in detail. So you spend less time setting up and more time creating.

Get the Perfect Levels with Auto-Gain
Nothing’s worse than a perfect take wrecked by digital distortion. Auto-Gain sets your recording levels in seconds, and Clip Protection catches unexpected peaks. So you can focus on the performance instead of the meters.

Turn Anywhere You Go into a Studio
Volt interfaces are bus-powered. That means you don’t need an outlet or external power supply to make music. Or even a studio space. Just plug Volt into your computer, tablet, or phone, pull up a session, and get to work.
