UA Expertise Serving Multichannel Recordings
Designed by the team behind the Apollo interfaces, the Volt 876 brings the Universal Audio sonic aesthetic into a USB-C interface geared towards band production and multitrack captures. It offers a coherent workflow, recall of interface settings, and integrated analog processing for powerful sound right from the recording stage.
Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?
Ideal for artistic directors, ambitious home studios, project studios, and live rehearsal recordings, the Volt 876 allows recording a full band (drums, bass, guitars, vocals, keyboards) with musical preamps and input dynamic control. Its compatibility with macOS, Windows, and iOS facilitates mobile sessions as well as studio productions.
Features Tailored for Demanding Sound Capture
The 32-bit / 192 kHz converters capture the finest transients, while the "Vintage Mic Preamp" mode adds a warm coloration. The 76 Compressor simplifies input dynamic management for tracks ready to mix. The monitoring section offers two pairs of speakers (A/B) to instantly evaluate your mixes on different systems.
Thanks to the ADAT and S/PDIF inputs, the Volt 876 integrates into extended and scalable rigs. The UAD software bundle and LUNA workstation provide a complete recording and mixing chain, with reference compressors, equalizers, delays, and reverbs to efficiently finalize your productions.
