UNIVERSAL AUDIO Volt 276 Recording Studio

Description

The Essentials to Know About the Universal Audio Volt 276 USB Audio Interface



  • Instant Studio Sound thanks to UA preamps with "Vintage" mode inspired by the famous 610 tube preamp.

  • Built-in 76 Analog Compressor for punchy vocals, guitars, and drum machines, inspired by the 1176.

  • 24-bit / 192 kHz Conversion and direct monitoring for clean, detailed, and low-latency recordings.

  • Included Creative Ecosystem with a suite of UAD plugins and partner software to record and mix right out of the box.



Universal Audio Expertise Concentrated in the Volt Series


Drawing from the heritage of the legendary 610 and 1176, the Volt 276 brings the DNA of professional studios into a desktop format. Within the Volt range, it stands out with its analog 76 compressor on the inputs, a true creative advantage over models without the "76" suffix.



Who Is It For and What Is It For?


Ideal for home studios, mobile creators, podcasters, streamers, and musicians, the Volt 276 simplifies recording vocals, instruments, and synths. Its direct monitoring allows comfortable recording without noticeable latency, while the dedicated headphone output facilitates headphone work and live streaming.



Key Features and New Additions



UA "Vintage" Preamps


Activate the "Vintage" mode to capture the color and harmonic richness of the 610 preamp, perfect for thickening a vocal or adding body to a guitar, without complex settings.



Built-in 76 Compressor


The analog circuit inspired by the 1176 adds presence and transient control at the source, with presets dedicated to vocals, guitars, synths, and drum machines. The result: more consistent takes ready for mixing.



Modern Conversion and Smooth Workflow


The 24-bit / 192 kHz conversion preserves dynamics and detail, while USB bus power and direct monitoring ensure quick setup and reduced latency.



UAD and Partner Software Suite


You get iconic mixing tools (Teletronix LA-2A, Pultec, Galaxy Tape Echo, Pure Plate Reverb, etc.) and instruments like PolyMAX, along with a comprehensive third-party bundle to compose, record, and finalize your tracks without delay.

I changed my Komplete Audio 2 for a Volt 276 and I am more than delighted. The build quality is excellent, the only small downside is the built-in analog compressor which hisses a bit but I never use it.

Great! It's superb and I even got some plugins with it. It has an awesome look and is quite powerful! There is something to immediately cut/turn on the mic feedback. It's very useful.

Great card for its price, the vintage modes and the compressor are really cool, even if maybe a bit too specific for some cool music. Big software offer, really a good card!

Really good value for money. Just one mishap with a model, I got a new one from Woodbrass because the first one was impossible to repair.
