A good yet majorly flawed interface
Although i love the basics of this interface such as the on and off switch, the input and output levels and overall sound quality and usability i cannot not give this more than 1 star and here's why. The compressor is ridiculous no matter what the gain is set to the noise flaw is way to noisy/hissy on microphones, and instruments. Apart from live performance it's un-usable in a mix and i'm gob smacked that UAD would release a product with a button that's totally useless and no my interface is not faulty. Forget all the video demonstrations you see, plug in a mic and some headphones and without any input volume you'll soon notice the hiss, and that's 1 track... Now imagine multiple tracked layered, then mastering? What a waste of a good idea. Exclude the compressor and it's a 5 star product.

Studio to go
Was going to be traveling for a month and needed a portable solution to record guitar and vocals while on the road. The Volt 276 was the perfect solution. It's light weight, bus powered but sounds great. Was a breeze to set up on my windows laptop.

Best Interface you can get for your home studio
This interface is amazing, the best sounding interface for the price range. Compression really helps to hear the vocals and acoustic guitars when using direct monitor. Pre amps sound beautiful and vintage mode is amazing. I really love the fact that you can hace direct monitoring in stereo as well (input 1 on the left and input 2 on the right) in case you want to use this for live porposes. Long story short if you need a better interface than your presonus or scarlett and you do not have budget for an Apollo do no think about it and get yourself a volt.

Nice and Cozy
Looks nice, sounds nice, well-built...what more do you want at this price point? I think it's great and I think you'll like it.

Great sound, no plugins
Love the sound and build of the Volt.
I wish I could access all of my UA plugins.

WHAT THE HELL UA??!! INSANE!!
I am so impressed with this little thing!!! Amazing quality for my @andersonoverland offroad podcasts and my music recordings for @afterplanet!! This thing far exceeded my already high expectations knowing UA quality and product design, but my God this was a knock out of the park!! Great job dev team at UA!!! Thank you all!!

Volt 276 is great
I couldn't be more happy than with this fantastic unit. Classic UAD sound, crisp and clear and simple as Lego in use.
Estetical the Volt 276 is great with its wooden sides, and the controllers are smooth and soft in use. The bundled software is also top notch, so all in all I can't imagine any other interface in this price range will compete. It fits my ears and i really like the results I get...A+++

Love this thing for what it is
Can’t go wrong with two pristine channels of UA and on board 610 and compression sound

Best Interface for the Price
This is by far the best interface for the price. The built in 1176 makes the mixing process that much easier and gives you balanced audio for each take. Highly recommend.

Klare Kaufempfehlung !
Ich habe mir das Universal Audio Volt 276 vor kurzem gekauft, schon beim ersten in die Hand nehmen dieses Interfaces fällt einem die wirklich brillante Verarbeitungsqualität auf.
Die Regler laufen geschmeidig, nichts wackelt, alles fühlt sich wertig an.
Angeschlossen wird das Interface über USB-C, im Lieferumfang ist ebenfalls ein 5VDC auf USB-A Kabel enthalten, sollte via USB nicht genug Strom geliefert werden. Sehr Lobenswert. Auf Windows müssen dann noch Treiber installiert werden, und es kann losgehen.
Der eingebaute Kompressor mit seinen drei Modi ist wirklich nützlich, ebenso empfinde ich den Vintage Mode als äußert angenehm, auch wenn dieser nur marginale Auswirkung hat.
Ebenfalls positiv möchte ich noch die Input-LED Anzeige erwähnen, statt einer einfachen Peak-LED sieht man hier sehr schön die verschiedenen Lautstärke-Stufen.
Für aktuell knapp 300€ bietet dieses Interface eine brillante Qualität, klaren Sound, super Features und kostenlose DAWs.
Daher von mir eine klare Kaufempfehlung!

Great but with more to improve!
My overall evaluation about my Volt 276 is that is great, practical, portable, affordable and with a great sound improved by the possibility of using the onboard simulations of the 1176 comp and the 610 pres!
That said I wish that it had the ability to be used/controlled trough console, that way I could also have some other UAD plugins running in my Satellite, and even more than that I think it is inconceivable that an audio interface that was released by the end of 2021 is so limited regarding it’s connectivity and use either to do lives or to connect trough Skype/Zoom etc for class purposes. Really something I think UAD could look hard into it and come up with some way for us to be using it like that!

Beats the Competition
I primarily used Focusrite audio interfaces from the scarlet up to the 18i20. And those have all had some minor compatibility issues from PC to hardware, hardware to software. But the Volt 276 had/has no issues. well built and its visual elements are extremely pleasing and the top down interface is excellent on the desk!

Classic UA sound in a budget interface. We have a winner.
I must admit, having Apollo X units for years I was expecting *pretty good* from VOLT 276 but boy I was wrong. This unit gives so much for it's price and then some.
The build quality is top notch. All metal case with wooden panels on the side makes the unit feel sturdy and durable. And I like the retro look.
The knobs/buttons are firm and can be dialed smoothly. And the sound is... Just great!
I still don't know how UA packed 610 pre's circuits AND 1176 compressor into such small footprint. I've tested it with Neumann U87Ai, TLM 102 and Rode NT1. On each mic VOLT gave pure clean sound. Very quiet on it's own. When "Vintage" mode is engaged you get that warm, rounded sound known for 610 pre + pleasant mids saturation. Compressor is fixed at 6:1 (I think) but it works very well with provided modes for vocals, guitar and "fast". Installation is pretty simple and straightforward. You are up and running in 5 mins.
I've bought it as an additional interface for quick Voiceover recordings, but now I see it can do much more.
Congrats to UA for developing VOLT series - we have a winner here!
