Desktop 1 input/2 outputs USB 2.0 audio interface with professional audio conversion, built-in vintage mic preamp and bus power for Mac, PC, iPad and iPhone.
Universal Audio has developed Volt 1 for singers, songwriters, guitarists, livestreamers, and podcasters. This portable 1-in/2-out USB recording interface for Mac, PC, iPad and iPhone offers superior sound quality, vintage mic preamp mode derived from UA's 610 tube preamp, and a range of industry-leading music software - to make your next recording sound like a classic.
The team that developed the pioneering Apollo interface delivers superior studio sound quality with the Volt 1, with more character and sound than any other USB interface in its class.
There are few sounds comparable to a classic Universal Audio 610 tube preamp as used for recordings from Ray Charles to Van Halen. Volt 1 gives you the rich, full sound of this classic UA microphone/line/instrument preamp, thanks to its built-in tube emulation circuit, which is exclusive to UA.
With light luggage on the go? Connect Volt 1 to your iPad or iPhone and you can easily create beats and samples, record the samples of your band, and edit songs anywhere. *
*Requires an external volt power supply and an Apple Lightning to USB camera adapter (except iPad Pro with USB-C).
Volt 1 users get a 30-day trial of UAD Spark, an ever-growing library of world-class plug-ins and instruments at an affordable monthly price. UAD Spark plug-ins run natively on Mac and give your recordings the professional analogue sound that can also be heard on your favourite albums.
Some audio interfaces come with a hodgepodge of any audio app. But not volts. Instead, we've put together a bundle of music production tools, virtual instruments and plug-ins, including Ableton, Melodyne, UJAM's Virtual Drummer, Marshall, Ampeg and more.
Volt 1 provides easy 1-in/2-out audio ports. Simply connect a microphone or instrument to the front and then your speakers or headphones to listen to your audio without latency. With Volt, you can get creative like a professional, lightning fast.
Capture inspiration for years to come
With its robust all-metal construction and elegant, vintage-inspired industrial design, Volt 1 enhances your production space with style, built to last for decades.
