The Universal Audio Volt 2 recording studio audio interface brings professional-quality results to your home setup. Designed for musicians looking to capture studio-quality recordings, this 2-in/2-out USB audio interface comes equipped with high-quality preamps and AD/DA converters to capture every nuance of your performance. Its vintage-style preamps and tone shaping tools provide the rich, full sound of classic analog gear so you can achieve the warmth and character of your favorite records.
Experience Classic Preamp Sound
The Volt 2 gives you simple 2-in/2-out audio connections to plug in your mics, guitars, synths and more. Press the Vintage button to engage the vintage preamp mode and experience the renowned sound of Universal Audio's 610 tube preamp, used to record legends like Ray Charles and Van Halen. With up to 55dB of available gain, you'll have no trouble capturing a variety of sound sources with clarity and detail. The Volt 2 provides 48V phantom power for condenser mics as well as an instrument input for direct recording of basses, guitars and more.
High-Resolution Audio Conversion
At the heart of the Volt 2 are professional-grade AD/DA converters to capture your performance with up to 24-bit/192kHz resolution. From the subtle resonance of an acoustic guitar to the thunderous low end of a bass amp, the Volt 2 delivers studio-quality sound so you can hear every nuance of your recordings. A high-powered headphone amp provides zero-latency monitoring while recording so you can listen to your takes in real time.

The Volt 2 comes with a curated bundle of music production tools to compose, record, edit and mix your songs. It includes the LUNA recording system, UAD plug-ins like the Pultec Passive EQ and LA-2A compressor as well as virtual instruments like PolyMAX synth and Century Tube Channel strip.
