The absolute best interface!
This interface is absolutely genius!! Putting the compressor on there with the option of engaging the tube preamp also? Are you kidding me? You all have made the process of writing and recording, making new music, just the whole process of being creative, so much more enjoyable. I’m able to focus my energy and attention into my art with more ease. Thank you for all of your products. I ended up subscribing to the Spark bundle as well.

Great product
Very complete and versatile, I use it mainly to record voices, and I find the vintage button and the 76 compressor very useful.
The only problem is that it doesn't let me use the plug-ins that come with the interface, since for some reason it doesn't recognize it.S. VanEtten

D. Paulmin
Very good audio interface
At first I hesitated several audio interfaces until I came across this one by pure chance, the audio quality is incredible, excellent voice recordings due to the 76 compressor and vintage integration, just a shame that we sometimes hear noises that squeaks but nothing bad once well mixed, in any case I recommend without hesitation its Volt series, thank you UAD
T. Hudson
Clean
Very clean sound. Instantly recognizable difference from my other interfaces when I use the Volt 276. Vocals are also easy to record. Great tracking with the onboard 1176.

Volt 2 76 compressor stage
Product as you would expect very good etc etc
the compressor: I am recording multi-track live strings.
I accidentally left the compressor option engaged.
By my estimation the circuit adds 5-8db of background noise, which is terminal for multitracking - it's exactly the type of noise one could confuse with driving a mic signal too hard on input; the difference between say, -56 to -48.
It took me an entire session- which was spent mucking about with input gains - to find it was the compressor at the last minute. The 'vintage' option seems ok. Noice.A. Sharma
Super happy with my purchase
I have played enough with Volt 276 and It's valuable for beginners who wants quality sounds in their recordings. I like everything about this product and I would recommend it to everybody.

The pre-amp are good
Good over all is just this vintage and compressor when you activated it it's made a big noise it took me 3 days to realize the problem was that

Top Preis

Y. CHOI
i am happy with VOLT 276 so far
I am in South Korea and just started bedroom(?) recording.
I did buy this one for the classical outfit for the first time.
now i have got some more pros while i am using this audio interface.
especially headphone sound is very good through VOLT 276.
I will recommend this to my friends.
if you can make it, please update loopback for VOLT 276 in the future.
ThanksC. Coria
Awesome!
I love it, I think it's one of the most useful and professional gear for Home Studio music producers, the sound of this piece of gear is amazing everything is crystal clear with it and the comp sounds great! I'm still exploring it but it's very cool until now
J. Kortas
Good little interface
The preamps are clean and clear, and can get grindy with vintage mode and the compressor engaged when you push them. I’ve had the ASIO driver fail a few times, but simply reselecting it in my DAW fixed the issue each time. Headphone amp is very decent for the price point. Overall for the $250 I spent on this interface it exceeds expectations. This is a budget interface and runs off the USB C buss power, if you keep that in mind and don’t expect miracles from this box then you will be pleased.
L. Huertas
Gran interfaz
Soy músico e ingeniero de sonido, he grabado gran parte de mi álbum con esta interfaz, el cuerpo que le da el compresor es increíble para el precio que tiene, y la conversión A/D es de una calidad considerable, he utilizado procesadores externos y la conversión es fiel al sonido real, es una gran compra.
J. Crane
Poor quality all the way around
The audio control knob sounds of static when turning while audio is playing. Multiple reports of this online I've found. Also, the INST boost button for channel 2, on the front of the unit makes a humming sound when it's engaged. You really do get what you pay for.
