Universal Audio are renowned for high-quality audio interfaces and top-class plug-ins. With the interfaces of the new Volt series, Universal Audio now makes this quality accessible to lower budgets.
The interfaces connect via USB-C and are compatible with Mac, PC, iPad and iPhone. The three smallest models are the Volt 1, Volt 2 and the Volt 4. The Volt 1 and Volt 2 interfaces offer one and two inputs and two outputs respectively. Their larger sibling, the Volt 4, provides 4 inputs and 4 outputs. Phantom power, direct monitoring and separate level controls for monitors and headphones are of course included. Thanks to the built-in Vintage Mic Preamp Mod, you can engage the emulated sound of a classic warm and harmonically rich tube preamp at the push of a button.
In addition to the controls on the top panel, the models Volt 176, Volt 276, Volt 476 and Volt 476P also include an excellent emulation of the legendary 1176 compressor, developed by Universal Audio in the 1960s. This can be set via three presets for Vocals, Guitar or Fast. The design of the Volt audio interfaces is, as you’d expect from UAD, stylish and understated. The 76 models in particular look striking with their real wood side appliqués.
With the included software package, Universal Audio gives you a number of tools to realise high-quality productions. Alongside the Lite version of the popular DAW Ableton Live, you also get high-quality Marshall and Ampeg amp emulations as well as various instrument and effect plug-ins such as Spitfire Labs, Celemony Melodyne Essentials or LX480 Essential from Relab.
Pioneer in audio recording for more than 50 years
Founded in 1958 by Bill Putnam Sr., Universal Audio has long been synonymous with innovative recording equipment. As the favourite engineer of Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Ray Charles and others, Bill was a passionate innovator who is regarded as the father of modern audio recording. Many of his legendary studio and equipment designs are still in use today. B. Putnam was the inventor of the modern mixing console, the multiband audio equaliser and he was the first engineer to use artificial reverb on commercial recordings. Alongside his friend Les Paul, Bill was also involved in the early development of stereophonic recording.
Putnam, known as a driven entrepreneur, founded three audio product companies during his long career: Universal Audio, Studio Electronics and Urei. All three companies built devices that were widely adopted after their introduction and would shape the studio sound for generations. The boutique compressors LA-2A and 1176 and the 610 tube console are among these legends. Artists such as Sinatra, the Beach Boys and Van Halen recorded their studio albums on the 610 console.
Universal Audio was re-established in 1999 by Bill's sons James Putnam and Bill Putnam Jr. The plan was twofold: on the one hand to faithfully reproduce classic analogue recording gear in their father's tradition; and on the other to bring the sound and spirit of vintage analogue technology into the new digital recording tools .
By now impressive effects pedals for guitarists and specialised guitar-recording tools such as the Universal Audio OX are also part of the range and are extremely popular with fans of outstanding tone.
