Universal Audio Volt 1 Gen 2 — A Record-Ready Voice and Guitar Interface

The Universal Audio Volt 1 Gen 2 is the entry model of the second-generation Volt range, built for singers, guitarists, podcasters and beginners who want their first recordings to sound like a record rather than a demo. A Tone Shaping Preamp with 60 dB of gain feeds 32-bit / 192 kHz converters, and USB bus power means it goes wherever your computer, tablet or phone goes.

Tone Shaping — Analog Character at the Source

The preamp offers three character modes: Warmth for tube tone, Focus for solid-state clarity and Shine for British Class-A sheen. The tone is added while you track, so vocals and acoustic instruments land in the DAW full and detailed.

Inputs, Outputs and Conversion

A mic/line combo input with switchable 48V phantom power handles dynamic and condenser microphones, while the front-panel Hi-Z instrument input takes guitar or bass, so voice and instrument can be recorded at the same time.

• Simultaneous I/O: 2-in / 2-out
• Microphone Preamp: 1 × Tone Shaping, 60 dB gain, +48V switchable
• Inputs: 1 × XLR/jack combo (mic/line), 1 × 1/4" TS Hi-Z instrument (1 MΩ)
• Monitor Outputs: 1 stereo pair, 1/4" TRS balanced
• Headphone Output: 1 × 1/4" TRS stereo, 52 mW into 32 Ω — shares the monitor mix
• Conversion: 32-bit, 44.1–192 kHz — 119 dB dynamic range (A-weighted) on the mic input, 122 dB on the monitor outputs

Easy Setup for Recording and Streaming

Volt 1 Gen 2 is class-compliant, so it works with any DAW without installing drivers on Mac, iPad or iPhone. Built-in loopback blends live sources with computer audio for podcasts, livestreams and video calls, and the UAD Console app and LUNA integrate directly with the hardware.

• Loopback: built-in — for streaming and content creation
• Compatibility: macOS 12 Monterey or newer, Windows 10 64-bit or newer, iPadOS / iOS 16 or newer — class-compliant, works with Ableton Live, FL Studio, GarageBand, Logic Pro, Pro Tools and other major DAWs (Windows uses the ASIO driver from the UA Connect app; Lightning devices need an Apple Lightning to USB Camera Adapter)
