A UA Heritage Serving Modern Creators
With the Volt 476, Universal Audio brings its historic expertise within reach of home studios. As the heir to the tones of the 610 and the legendary 1176, it sits at the top of the compact Volt range by offering more inputs/outputs than the 2 or 276 models, while maintaining a simple philosophy: plug in, activate Vintage mode, and instantly get a musical sound ready to mix.
Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?
Singer-guitarists, beatmakers, podcasting duos, keyboardists with machines: the Volt 476 meets multi-track projects that require reliable and fast capture. MIDI I/O facilitates the integration of keyboards and controllers, while iPad/iPhone compatibility allows you to take your recording rig anywhere.
