    Sound Like a Record from Your First Take:

    Volt 1 is a next-generation mobile USB audio interface with onboard Tone Shaping Preamp, giving singer-songwriters and content creators the sound of a pro studio from the moment they hit "record."

     

    Built by the same team behind legendary Apollo interfaces, Volt 1 makes recording effortless. Get up and running on Mac, Windows, iPad, or iPhone in minutes. Set guitar and vocal levels quickly with hands-on controls. And when it’s time to mix, you get an award-winning suite of UAD plug-ins and the LUNA Digital Audio Workstation.

     

    Key Benefits:

    • Tone Shaping Preamp. Get the rich character of a record, not a demo.
    • Full 32-Bit Audio. Hear your performance in incredible detail with legendary UA quality.
    • Mic & Instrument Inputs. Capture your vocals and instruments at the same time.
    • Mobile Ready. Record anywhere with USB bus power — no external power supply required.*
    • Easy to Use. Quickly connect and record using your favorite music apps.
    • Premium UAD Software. Get the same EQs, compressors, synths, and guitar amps used by the pros, plus the award-winning LUNA DAW.

     

    Studio Sound at the Push of a Button:

    Home recordings and phone demos can sound thin and lifeless. Volt gives your recordings incredible tone right from the start. With three mic preamp modes — Warmth, Focus, and Shine — you can quickly add Tube, Solid State, and British Class-A tone to everything you record.

     

    Hear Every Detail with Best-in-Class 32-Bit Converters:

    When you capture that perfect take, Volt’s 32-bit / 192 kHz converters preserve every detail, exactly as it happened. And with loud, clear speaker and headphone outputs, you'll get the perfect monitoring levels, from your first take to your final mix.

     

    Record Your Voice and Instrument Like a Pro:

    Volt 1 gives you studio-grade Mic / Line and Hi-Z Instrument inputs, letting you record your vocals and instruments at the same time. Its clean 48V phantom-powered mic input lets you connect your favorite studio condenser mic for high-quality recording.

     

    Turn Anywhere you Go into a Studio:

    Volt 1 is bus-powered. That means you don’t need a power outlet or external power supply to make music. Or even a studio space. Just plug Volt into your computer, tablet, or phone, pull up a session and get to work.*

     

    Start Making Music in Minutes:

    When you’re inspired, every second counts. Thankfully, Volt is ready, willing, and USB class-compliant on Mac, Windows, iPad, and iPhone. No downloads or drivers. Works with any DAW. So you can be up and recording in minutes.*

     

    Shape Your Songs with UAD Plug-Ins and LUNA:

    Every Volt includes over 15 UAD plug-ins and instruments — the same software used to create and mix countless hit records for decades. Plus you get LUNA, UA’s award-winning DAW with authentic “big studio” sound and smart tools designed to make recording easy.

     

    Ideal for Podcasts and Livestreams:

    Volt Gen 2’s Loopback feature allows you to blend live sources with computer audio. So you can mix podcasts and livestreams in realtime.Or just level up your video calls. It's the same way pro broadcasters work, built into every Volt.
