The Universal Audio Volt 4 Gen 2 is a compact 12-in/6-out USB audio interface designed for recording, mixing, mastering, streaming, and mobile production. It combines 32-bit converters operating at up to 192kHz with dual Tone Shaping Preamps, Auto-Gain, Clip Protection, a full-colour Smart Display, ADAT expansion, MIDI connectivity, and USB bus-powered operation.

The two Tone Shaping Preamps provide up to 60dB of gain, with three selectable character modes on each channel: Warmth for tube-style character, Focus for solid-state clarity, and Shine for the open character of a British Class A circuit. Independent 48V phantom power supports condenser microphones, while two front-panel hi-Z inputs provide dedicated connections for instruments.

Auto-Gain helps set recording levels quickly, while Clip Protection helps prevent unexpected peaks from affecting a recording. The full-colour Smart Display provides at-a-glance feedback on inputs, levels, and settings. Two additional line inputs and two line outputs allow integration of outboard gear, while the ADAT or S/PDIF optical input provides up to eight additional digital channels for system expansion.

Volt 4 Gen 2 also includes built-in loopback for combining live sources with computer audio, along with MIDI connectivity for controllers, keyboards, and synths. It integrates with the UAD Console app and LUNA, and includes the UAD Volt Studio bundle with 15+ UAD plugins and instruments, LUNA, Melodyne Essential, and additional software. USB bus-powered operation and compatibility with Mac, Windows, iPad, and iPhone make it suitable for both desktop and portable recording setups.
