Volt 1 USB Recording Studio Audio Interface

This Universal Audio Volt 1 USB recording interface is absolutely killer for anyone wanting pro-level sound without turning their desk into a cable nightmare—just plug it into your Mac/PC/iPad, and boom, you’re rocking classic UA mic preamp tone with its vintage 610 tube emulation and crystal-clear 24‑bit/192 kHz converters with built in gain and volume control. It’s built like a brick—solid knobs, sturdy chassis, zero wiggle in the connections—and even throws in MIDI I/O, phantom power, zero-latency monitoring and direct-drive headphone output . Plus you get a sweet CargoCult of software—LUNA, Ableton Live Lite, Melodyne, Marshall/Ampeg amps, and more—so you can start recording legendary-sounding vocals, guitars, or podcast episodes right out of the box . For under $150, it’s the gold standard for solo creators—no bull, just massive studio tone in a sleek little package. Easy to use and setup, practically plug and play.

It does what it needs to do, came in quickly, Quality is A1, It’s easy to use, it can record only 1 Microphone, and there’s no noise when in use.

First, the packaging is as fine as it gets - a beautiful gift box inside with excellent product protection. It was a joy to unpack. More importantly, the audio interface works instantly - plug and play. I have not recorded through it yet, but based on other reviews I have high hopes. I HAVE been mixing down with the interface and I find the signal to be very clear and revealing. For whatever reason the stereo perception seems excellent, which to me is critical for pristine mixes. I'm going to hazard that it's the best interface in the price range and by far when factoring the included free software. I need to update my computer and DAW to take advantage of the software, but if you are wondering if this interface will work with an older system: I have a Late 2012 Mac Mini running Catalina. The interface was recognized upon plugging in and works great! I highly recommend and I an sure if/when I upgrade again it will be to another UA interface. (I'ma submit some product ideas to the company too because I have no intention of getting into the manufacturing business and their are some deficits in clever, affordable out gear these days.)

This little thing is excellent. I have a small home studio and for the price the sound quality is A1.

Everything worked fairly well. This is coming from someone who's never owned a USB audio interface box like this so keep that in mind. I was a little disappointed in the lack of software control for the device. I expected there to be some basic adjustments I could have made in UA's software/driver suite and I didn't really see it. Also I needed my gain absolutely blasted for it to even work on steam, that was frustrating. Beyond that, I like the look of it and I like the analog controls. Maybe with different software or additional hardware it'd be what I expected, but as I said, I'm new to audio gear like this.

Very good quality sound, preamps sound amazing. Very easy to use and very fast connection speed. Only interface I’ve used so far that can record with playback though the DAW instead of direct playback through the device.

This is all you need if you are new to Voice Acting. If you want to use it with Avid Pro Tools, you need to make sure that you install UA connect and the driver. Works seamlessly for me now. Have gotten 15 shortlists in just over 2 months as a starting VO artist. I don't create music and don't create Podcasts that need more than one mic, so this is a perfect starting interface.

I got the Volt 1 (no comp), and I’m very satisfied with it so far! It pairs perfectly with my DT 770’s and sounds great! It’s nice and compact in one unit so it doesn’t take up too much space either. The knobs are feel great, and recording quality is definitely up there. The vintage mode is a nice touch too! Definitely worth the price range for this product!

Awesome and easy to use. The most surprising part was how powerful the headphone amp is in this thing

Pequeña pero poderosa. La compré por su modo Vintage que me gusta mucho. Ese tono cálido y ligeramente profundo que el da a mi voz con mis micrófonos es exquisito. Además es muy pequeña, la puedo traer en un bolso de fotografía con un Power bank porque trae un cable de alimentación de 5V y así grabar por todos lados. El plus de los plugins que te dan como compresores LA y un Channel strip de Teletronix hacen que valga cada peso 👌

VERY GOOD PRODUCT ,BEST PREAMP ALLMOST VERYGOOD PERFORMANCE,VALUE OF MONEY

Excellent quality. The care taken to make it is shown in the finish and even the quality of the packaging- A company that pays attention to detail. Works straight out of the box with my Apple Studio M2 Max - no fuss and immediately recognized unlike others that are cheaper. Type C connector is good and latest model.
