Universal Audio Volt 2 USB-C Audio/MIDI Interface

Vibe-rich tube-emulation circuitry, pristine pro-grade conversion, and an impressive bundle of music production software make the Universal Audio Volt 2 portable 2x2 audio interface a top-notch yet affordable win for quality-conscious collaborators, vocalists, musicians, and even content creators such as podcasters and livestreamers. Attractive, sturdy, and compact, this bus-powered USB-C interface is equally capable in a computer-based home studio or on the go with your iPad or iPhone.

Best-In-Class Sound for Collaboration

From the team that brought you the game-changing Apollo interface, Volt 2 delivers superior studio sound quality, with character and tone far beyond its class.

Classic Vocal Tone

Few sounds can compare to a vintage Universal Audio 610 tube preamp, as used to record everyone from Ray Charles to Van Halen. Volt 2 gives you the rich, full sound of this classic UA mic/line/instrument preamp, thanks to its built-in tube emulation circuitry, a UA exclusive.

Get exclusive instruments and tools with an ever-expanding library, and give your recordings the analog tones heard on hit albums.

Easy In, Easy Out

Volt 2 gives you simple 2-in / 2-out audio connections. Just plug mics, guitars, or synths into the XLR-1/4" combo jacks on the front panel. Then connect your speakers or headphones via 1/4" sockets to monitor your audio with no latency. With Volt, you'll be creating like a pro, fast.

iPad and iPhone Ready

Traveling light? Plug Volt 2 into your iPad or iPhone, and you can easily create beats and samples, record your band's rehearsals, and edit songs anywhere. An external Volt power supply and an Apple Lightning to USB Camera Adapter are required (available separately) for iOS mobile devices other than iPad Pros with USB-C.
