Universal Audio Volt 476 USB Recording Studio Audio Interface

I use exclusively UAD Apollo in my production studio. Multiple UAD Satellites, X8P, X16, and Twin X - all cascaded together. I wanted to use an external interface with my 2024 iPad m4 and this was the perfect choice. Literally plug and play. Plugged it in, and it just works. Input and output channels show up instantly in any iPad DAW (I use Cubasis)I'm a UAD guy anyway, but this interface does not disappoint. I've you've never used UAD gear, the VOLTs are a great way to get into their lineup without the cost of the Apollos. The VOLTs do not have the same functionality as the Apollo lineup - cascading, software routing, plugin and DSP, etc are not part of the VOLT series. But if you are looking for a solid interface with great sound, excellent design and insane compatibility with iOS for the iPad or iPhone, the VOLTs are amazing. I highly recommend UAD gear - and this one lives up to the UDA name.

Exelente sonido

I was and still am totally blown away by this interface! The onboard compressor, along with the vintage setting absolutely put this unit over the top! Look no further! I’ve used most of the competitors interfaces, either friends or associates, and there is a tangible difference! We use it for music recording, and have had zero issues with anything, from latency to headroom, it just works perfectly! I love the onboard compression and vintage options so much, it’s part of my live signal chain! I’m a guitarist.We use a windows computer for mixing etc….and the drivers are stable as a rock.Others have mentioned the software bundles, so I’ll spare y’all….but holy cow, there’s a lot of value there!If this is your first and are having trouble deciding, just get this; I promise you will not have an ounce of regret!If you’re upgrading, see above….UA knocked it out! Thanks for a great product!

The vintage tube emulation and 1176 compressor modeling on channels 1 and 2 are absolutely kino when paired with a large diaphragm condenser microphone. I run my Røde NT1 through it with both the vintage tube and vocal compressor on. They bring that microphone to life.The LED indicators are very fast and responsive to volume changes and peaks. Having my outputs visible right next to my inputs has been quite nice as well (and uncommon).Channel 1 will default to hard left and channel 2 will default hard right. This lets you record in stereo mode. With this mirrored on 3 and 4, you get two stereo tracks worth of simultaneous recording OR with a simple button you can force each track to be Center (mono). Also a plus.The phantom power doesn't immediately cut off when pressed, which is a good thing in my opinion.With a dedicated toggle for impedance right next to the inputs for channels 1 and 2 is also a welcome oddity.Bottom line is that if you actually do stuff with sound, you aren't going to regret picking up a 476 for small mix uses.

As always, UA delivers. The UA Volt 476 is beautifula, robust, and very well built.Unfortunately, that's as much as I can tell you. I am only able to review the UA Volt based on the quality of the product's first-impression basis and experience "opening" the delivery and product. Why is that? Because apparently Amazon thinks it's okay to ship you an already pre-sold, pre-opened and pre-used product now.I'm sure it sounds as good as everything-UA-land. I wouldn't know as it's fairly disappointing to receive a box that obviously already been shipped, beat up, received, opened, re-boxed improperly (accessories out of bags and the unit placed upside down in the foam?!), shipped back, beat up some more, shipped to me (in a plastic bag!!), and beat up one last time... well, before it gets bashed up on the way back to Amazon again, I suppose. Seriously? A nearly-$400 audio interface should NOT be shipped in an Amazon disposable plastic bag.UA supplies just the right accessories needed. The unit is very nice looking and impressive. Good luck recieving a new one. I'm sure you'll love it if you do. As for me, I'm ordering one from another vendor so I actually get a NEW and SEALED one. Hey Amazon... if you're reading this... these types of things come with licenses and software tied to the SN, ya know? Get a clue.I will be sure to return and review the new one to provide more details.

I've been through about 3 other interfaces and can really say that this was my favorite.Not only is this very aesthetically pleasing but very high audio quality. it's been a year and a half since I bought it and it's still perfect. It even came with really nice drum and bass VSTs that I use quite often. My favorite purchase ever!

Wanted to go with a cheaper one but so glad I got this. Sounds and looks beautiful. Works great with my iPad.

This thing is amazing! The build quality, the included features, the preamps, the software that comes with it…this thing punches way above its weight class. Well worth the money, I love mine!
