Universal Audio Volt 2 Gen 2 - 2-in / 4-out USB Audio Interface with Onboard Tone Shaping

Volt 2 is a next-generation mobile USB audio interface with two onboard Tone Shaping Preamps and a full-color Smart Display, giving music creators the sound of a pro studio with easy, hands-on control. Built by the same team behind legendary Apollo interfaces, Volt 2 makes recording effortless on Mac, Windows, iPad, or iPhone in minutes.

Auto-Gain sets recording levels in seconds and Clip Protection catches unexpected peaks, while three mic preamp modes -- Warmth, Focus, and Shine -- add Tube, Solid State, and British Class-A tone to every take, backed by 32-bit / 192 kHz converters.

Volt 2 is bus-powered, USB class-compliant, and includes a built-in loopback for podcasting and streaming, plus over 15 UAD plug-ins and instruments and the LUNA Digital Audio Workstation.
