Universal Audio Volt 276 USB Recording Studio

The Universal Audio Volt 276 USB Recording Studio is a compact, reliable, and budget-friendly 2-in/2-out USB 2.0 audio interface designed to bring professional studio sound to your desktop or mobile setup. Whether you are a singer, guitarist, streamer, or podcaster, this interface empowers you to create album-quality recordings on Mac, PC, iPad, and iPhone. Featuring a rugged metal construction with retro wood sides, the Volt 276 combines impeccable industrial style with a bus-powered architecture that reduces cable clutter, allowing you to capture inspiration wherever it strikes.

Legendary 610 Preamp Circuitry
The Volt 276 sets itself apart with its Vintage Mic Preamp mode. This built-in tube-emulation circuitry replicates the rich, full sound of the legendary Universal Audio 610 tube preamp—a classic console used to record artists ranging from Ray Charles to Van Halen. By employing expertly designed op-amps and solid-state electronics, this mode delivers tube-like dynamic saturation and clipping to your voice or instruments, a feature exclusive to UA.

Built-in 76 FET Compressor
Unlike many interfaces that rely solely on software for dynamics, the Volt 276 features an integrated 76 Compressor, an innovative analog circuit based on UA's renowned 1176 Limiting Amplifier. This is not a digital emulation but a real analog compressor that adds clarity and punch to your tracks. It features three perfectly tailored presets—Vocals, Guitars, and Fast (for drums)—allowing you to simply plug in, select a setting, and tame volume peaks instantly.

Best-in-Class Audio Quality
To ensure your recordings sound professional, the Volt 276 offers best-in-class 24-bit/192 kHz audio conversion, providing true-to-life detail and dimensionality. The unit supports direct monitoring for latency-free recording and includes a studio-quality headphone amplifier for crystal-clear playback. For producers using synthesizers and controllers, the interface also includes 1-in/1-out MIDI connections.
