Universal Audio VOLT-1 USB Audio Interface

The Universal Audio Volt 1 transforms bedrooms, dorm rooms, and home studios across Wisconsin into legitimate recording environments. This isn't entry-level audio with "good enough" preamps and converters—it's Universal Audio's legendary studio sound in a compact USB interface designed for solo artists, songwriters, podcasters, and content creators who refuse to accept lo-fi compromise. Whether you're a UW-Madison music tech student building your first production portfolio or a Milwaukee singer-songwriter ready to move beyond phone recordings, Volt 1 delivers album-ready results.

Flip the Vintage switch to engage circuitry modeled after UA's classic 610 tube preamps—the sound that defined countless hit records. Combined with pristine 24-bit/192 kHz converters, your vocals, acoustic guitars, and podcasts capture every detail and nuance without the thin, harsh quality common in budget interfaces. This is the rich, full sound that makes listeners lean in rather than click away.

Record and mix with LUNA Digital Audio Workstation (included)—UA's award-winning software that replicates the sound and workflow of analog studios. Access the same UAD plug-ins and virtual instruments trusted by top industry pros, from vintage compressors to classic reverbs. Level up your skills with comprehensive tutorials for beginners through advanced users. Volt 1 supports macOS, Windows, iPad, and iPhone (iOS 14+) for flexible laptop, desktop, and mobile recording.
