UA Volt 4 USB Audio Interface for recording, podcasting, and streaming with essential audio software, including $400 in UAD plug-ins

What I don’t like is the fact that this unit is smaller than it appears online. What I like is the sound quality of the vocal recordings, monitor outputs are clean and colorless. I also love the fact that this unit has multiple I/O which means I can patch in outboard gear with ease. I’m happy with the free perpetual UA plugins, just wish there was more plugins for vocals tho. I guess if I subscribed to the spark plugin plan, I can get more. But I already have tons of plugins and these only add to my collection and will aid in producing high quality content. Too bad this doesn’t have the onboard compressors nor dsp. Overall I’m quite content with my purchase

Una interfase para Personal Studio excelente. . Fácil de instala, fácil de operar y con buen sonido. Sólida construcción y bonito diseño. Relación calidad-precio me parece bien.Lo que se espera de un aparato de esta linea. Recomendable.

I really like this audio interface coming from the scarlett 4i4. My 4i4 was starting to fail, and would frequently disconnect from PC as the default sound device. (I now suspect that it might not have been getting enough power over usb-c, but I am still investigating). I wanted to try something new when replacing my 4i4. The apollo series were always out of my reach pricewise, but new Volt series seemed to be a great entry point to try UA products. There are mini-similarities between these interfaces (both work well enough), but 2 points were important. Pros: Sound - These sounded a bit more natural and warm (probably due to the "Vintage" button which I prefer over the "Air" option on the Scarlett). Direct monitoring into my headphones and monitors (sony mdr-7506 & jbl 305p) sounded slightly better, and also just playing some FLACs also sounded good. I didn't test recording with the volt and swapping devices to playback with the 4i4 and vice versa, but overall the Volt sounds better to me. Power - This gives the option to power over barrel jack or through usb. Also, the power switch is kind of nice. Cons (pretty much all are form factor): Shape: I like the look, but the I did like the rounded corners on the scarlett. Also, it's incredibly easy to find a free gcode file to 3d print an underdesk mount for any of the scarlett interfaces. Size: This unit stand a little bit taller, and quite a bit deeper. Monitor knob: I liked the metal knob for the monitor on the Scarlett. The plastic knob on the Volt perfectly good, but I like the look of the Scarlett's knob. ----------------------- Other notes: I am very happy with my choice between these 2. I briefly considered the Minifuse 4 for the 2nd headphone jack and would've been my second choice.

Really good as a first interface if you want to try UAD plug-ins. Preamps are not very impressive but with a really good quality. One thing I don’t really like is that it is not enough power on preamps on my opinion, but at the same time, I really like the built quality. It is very very gooood

It’s a great interface. Having a monitor out separate from assignable outs is essential.
