Essential Information About the Universal Audio Volt 176 Audio Interface



  • Mic preamp with "Vintage" mode inspired by the legendary 610 for a rich and musical tone.

  • Built-in analog "76" compressor, derived from the 1176, with presets for vocals, guitars, synths, and drum machines.

  • 24-bit / 192 kHz conversion, direct monitoring for near-zero latency, and a powerful headphone output.

  • Included UAD plugin bundle and third-party software, plus Mac/PC/iPad/iPhone compatibility via USB-C.



The Iconic UA Sound in a Portable Format


With the Volt 176, Universal Audio distills the DNA of its studio classics into an ultra-compact interface. Positioned above the Volt 1, it adds an analog "76" compressor to the preamp's "Vintage" mode, offering dynamic control and analog coloration unavailable on entry-level models. It's the ideal choice if you want the 610/1176 aesthetic without racks or patch bays.



For Singers, Podcasters, Guitarists, and Mobile Creators


Whether you're recording a solo vocal, guitar, or synth, the Volt 176 delivers a clean, punchy, and controlled signal right from the source. Its iPad/iPhone compatibility and USB bus power make it a perfect solution for home studios, streaming, voice-over work, or on-the-go creation, with plug-and-play setup.



Features Designed for Fast and Inspired Takes



"Vintage" Color and Analog "76" Compression


Activate the "Vintage" mode to capture the warmth and density of the famous UA 610 preamp. Then add the "76" compressor to instantly control transients, enhance presence, and stabilize levels, thanks to presets tailored to the most common sources.



Accurate Conversion and Distraction-Free Monitoring


The 24-bit / 192 kHz conversion captures your nuances with extended dynamic range, while direct monitoring provides immediate feedback without complicated setup or annoying latency. The headphone output delivers a comfortable level for reliable tracking and mixing on headphones.



Essential Connectivity and Software Ecosystem


The XLR/jack combo input accepts mic, instrument, or line signals; TRS outputs power your monitors, and MIDI I/O controls your synths and drum machines. The included UAD bundle and partner software provide everything you need to record, shape, and mix from day one.

very good sound card, but most of the provided effects are disabled (we spend a lot of time on it and in the end what frustration...).
