Universal Audio Volt 276 USB-C Audio Interface – 2-In/2-Out Studio Recording Interface with Vintage Mic Preamp Mode & Built-in 76 FET Compressor

The Universal Audio Volt 276 is a desktop 2-in/2-out USB-C audio interface crafted for musicians, producers, vocalists, and content creators seeking classic analog studio tone. Engineered by the team behind UA’s Apollo interfaces, the Volt 276 combines 24-bit/192 kHz AD/DA audio conversion with Vintage Mic Preamp emulation and an analog 76 Compressor circuit directly on the input channels. Featuring retro wooden side panels and an all-metal chassis, it delivers a vintage aesthetic and album-ready sound for home and mobile studios.

Analog Vintage Preamp Mode and Built-in 76 Compressor

The Volt 276 features built-in tube emulation circuitry that recreates the harmonic saturation of Universal Audio’s 610 tube console preamp. In addition to the Vintage Preamp Mode, the interface includes an onboard analog 76 Compressor inspired by UA’s 1176 Limiting Amplifier. With three push-button presets—Vocal, Guitar, and Fast (Synths/Drums)—users can control volume peaks, add sustain, and inject punch into recordings without adding CPU latency in a DAW.

High-Resolution Conversion and Latency-Free Monitoring

Equipped with 24-bit/192 kHz AD/DA converters, the Volt 276 captures clear detail and dynamic depth across vocal and instrumental tracks. Dual front-panel XLR-1/4″ combo inputs handle condenser microphones, line-level gear, and high-impedance (Hi-Z) electric guitars or basses. A hardware Direct Monitoring switch provides zero-latency monitoring during tracking sessions.

Connectivity and Build

Housed in a metal chassis with real wood side panels, the Volt 276 is powered via USB-C for desktop or mobile setups. It includes standard 5-pin MIDI I/O ports for connecting external hardware synth modules or MIDI controllers, alongside balanced 1/4″ TRS monitor outputs and a headphone amplifier with independent volume control.
