Universal Audio Volt 276

“Apogee's converters are just on another level to me. I own both brands and I will specifically mix/master with a duet 2!”

“I'm running a UA-Volt276 and have not run into anything like this”

“I’ve been currently using a Universal Audio Volt 276. It’s been great since I bought it but maybe a software update or something has made it unstable.”

“The Preamps on the 276 are not bypassable as far as I know and have tested in my time shortly demoing the piece for my Youtube channel.”

“Universal Audio Volt 276! It’s superb for the price, and comes with built-in analog compressor and ”vintage” mode on preamps which adds some warmth and characteristics to the sound!”

“I can confirm that the UA Volt 276 doesn't work as an audio interface via USB.”

“The UA volt 276 has a compressor built into the audio interface, which might come in handy for streaming (but which is usually better avoided and done in post if you're not streaming).”

“I just got a Universal Audio Volt 276 audio interface. Three figures ($299) and to my ears sounds wonderful. You get clean and vintage preamps, and an analog emulation of their 1176 compressor.”

“You're comparing a low end offering to a high end offering. Get the Apogee.”

“Between these two Duet no questions asked”

“The interface was probably the best purchase in a long time for me. Makes recording at home so easy. I'm using a Universal Audio Volt 276 stereo interface. I think there is a mono one too. Been loving it!!”

“Probably, depends on how picky you are. Preamps and converters are subtle, acoustic treatment will make a much more tangible difference than buying an expensive interface.”

“I highly recommend the universal audio volt. I have the 276 for my desk top and use it all the time. Great interface and there is a cheaper version with a single input if you don’t need two. Comes with some free plugins too!”

“I found that the 76 Compressor is actually quite noisey.”

“I just moved from a 12 year old rme baby face to a volt276 and holy shit the difference in quality blew me away. Both from a monitoring perspective and DI volume perspective (previously I used some low/mid range mic pre’s). I should have upgraded years ago haha.. and I don’t have to deal with the clunky babyface breakout cable.”

“I just bought the Universal Audio Volt 276 and that thing is freakin amazing, it has glowing reviews and a built in circuit for their 76 compressor along with compressor presets for guitar, vocals, "fast," and off. It might be a bit big if you're looking for pocket-sized but I found it to be the most-applauded budget audio interface when I was researching.”

“I have a Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 and used a Universal Audio Volt 276 as an aggregate and didn’t have any issues with any noise on my M1 MacBook Air. The Volt was used as extra inputs”

“The vocals are running pretty hot through my Volt276 interface, I cranked it a little more than I should have but the preamp in that little unit handled it pretty well.”

“I’m using a Universal Audio Volt 276, no issues. Before that a Yamaha AG03 and an iRig. I’ve never had problems connecting an interface. I use AUM for my host.”

“the Universal Audio Volt series are in the same price range and sound a bit better to my ears. I have a Volt 276 with built-in compression and it's awesome.”

“immediately drove back to the store and traded it in for the Universal Audio Volt 276 And once I got home and hooked up the Volt 276 all latency was gone!”

“I have a Volt276 and its such a great interface, the compressors are an amazing bonus too, I would suggest the same, I wouldnt start anywhere else.”

“Get the universal audio volt 276 over the Scarlet 110%. I’ve used both and trust me. You won’t regret it not to mention all the extra stuff that comes along with it software wise. Plus extra options for compression, etc..”

“I have a MXL V67G mic plugged into a Universal Audio Volt 276 interface which runs into Reaper. Definitely gets the job done.”
