Universal Audio Volt 2 : Capture Classic Sounds with Ease

The Universal Audio Volt 2 is a portable USB audio interface designed for musicians, podcasters, and live-streamers who want professional-sounding recordings without the hassle. Here’s what makes it stand out, including key specifications:

Legendary UA Sound (24-bit/192kHz AD/DA Conversion):

Volt 2 boasts a built-in Vintage Mic Preamp mode that emulates the sound of Universal Audio’s famous 610 tube preamp. This circuitry, exclusive to UA, adds warmth and richness to your vocals and instruments, reminiscent of classic recordings.

Simple and Versatile (2×2 I/O):

Featuring two combo inputs (XLR/¼” TRS jack), Volt 2 allows you to connect microphones, guitars, keyboards, or any other line-level instrument. With dedicated gain controls and switchable +48v phantom power, you can easily adjust the input level for optimal recording. A Direct Monitor knob lets you hear your recordings with no delay (zero-latency monitoring), perfect for performing or laying down tracks.

Plug-and-Play Convenience (USB-C Bus-Powered):

The Volt 2 is bus-powered, meaning it draws power directly from your computer’s USB-C port, eliminating the need for an external power supply. This makes it ideal for mobile recording or using with laptops and tablets. Plus, it’s compatible with Mac, PC, iPad, and iPhone, offering great flexibility for your creative workflow.

Housed in a rugged all-metal chassis, the Volt 2 is built to withstand the rigors of travel and everyday use. Its sleek, vintage-inspired design adds a touch of style to any workspace.
