The Universal Audio Legacy in a Desktop Format
Part of the Volt series, the Volt 2 condenses Universal Audio's expertise in preamps and conversion into a compact 2-input / 2-output interface. The "Vintage" mode, inherited from the legendary 610 preamp, delivers that sought-after analog signature without additional outboard gear. This gives you studio-quality sound in a sturdy chassis designed for the modern home studio.

Easy to use and reliable day-to-day, the Volt 2 is ideal for recording vocals, guitar, synth, or podcasts, producing polished demos, and streaming live. Its bus-powered USB design and iPad/iPhone compatibility allow for a minimalist mobile setup, while direct monitoring ensures zero-latency feedback during recording.
