The Universal Audio Volt 1 Gen 2 is a 2-in/2-out USB audio interface designed for recording, streaming, podcasting, and mixing at home or on the go. It combines 32-bit converters operating at up to 192kHz with onboard Tone Shaping to give recordings added character, while USB bus power makes it suitable for use with Mac, Windows, iPad, and iPhone devices.

Its Tone Shaping Preamp provides up to 60dB of gain and three selectable character modes. Warmth adds the rounded character of a tube preamp, Focus delivers the clarity associated with a solid-state design, and Shine provides the open lift of a British Class A circuit. The mic/line combo input also features switchable 48V phantom power for use with condenser microphones, while the front-panel hi-Z input provides a dedicated connection for instruments.

Built-in loopback allows live microphone sources to be blended with computer audio for podcasts, livestreams, and video calls. The interface also includes stereo balanced monitor outputs and a stereo headphone output, while its USB bus-powered design allows mobile recording setups without a separate power supply in supported configurations.

The Volt 1 Gen 2 comes with the UAD Volt Studio bundle, including 15+ UAD plugins and instruments along with LUNA, Melodyne Essential, and additional software. The included tools include the Teletronix LA-2A, 1176 Classic FET Compressor, Pure Plate Reverb, Galaxy Tape Echo, and UAD guitar amps, providing a complete software package for recording and production.
