The Volt 2 Gen 2 USB Audio Interface packs the tone-shaping tech from Universal Audio's Apollo line into a compact, plug-and-play box, so your recordings sound like a finished record, not a rough draft. Built by the same engineers behind those studio-grade interfaces, Volt 2 delivers pro-level sound without the steep learning curve.
Tone That Does the Heavy Lifting
Nobody wants to spend an hour EQing a vocal take just to make it sound halfway decent. Volt 2's onboard preamps are built to do that work for you before you even hit record, so your tracks start strong instead of starting flat.
Tone Shaping Preamps: Dial in Warmth, Focus, or Shine to add Tube, Solid State, or British Class-A character to vocals and instruments right at the source.
32-Bit Audio Conversion: Capture every nuance of your performance with 32-bit/192 kHz conversion, so what you hear in the room is what shows up in your DAW.
Auto-Gain & Clip Protection: Set perfect levels in seconds and let Clip Protection catch unexpected peaks, so one loud note doesn't torch an otherwise great take.
Plug In and Record Anywhere
A great interface shouldn't need a manual or a prayer to get running. Volt 2 is USB class-compliant and bus-powered, which means it's ready to work the moment you plug it in, whether that's at your desk, on tour, or in a closet turned vocal booth.
Mobile Ready: Volt 2 runs on USB bus power, so you can record without hunting down an outlet or external power supply.
Cross-Platform Compatibility: Works right out of the box with Mac, Windows, iPad, and iPhone, no drivers or downloads required.
Dual Mic & Instrument Inputs: Two mic/line inputs plus two front-panel Hi-Z instrument inputs let you track vocals and guitar, or a full stereo source, at the same time.
See What You're Working With
Fumbling through menus while the clock's ticking is nobody's idea of a good session. Volt 2's Smart Display keeps your inputs, levels, and settings front and center, so you can stay focused on the performance instead of squinting at tiny knobs.
Full-Color Smart Display: Get instant visual feedback on channels and levels so setup takes seconds, not minutes.
Independent 48V Phantom Power: Each channel gets its own phantom power, so your condenser mics are ready whenever you are.
Built-In Loopback: Blend live mic input with computer audio for podcasts, livestreams, or video calls without extra gear.
The Bottom Line
Volt 2 Gen 2 takes the guesswork out of home recording by combining studio-grade tone shaping, reliable connectivity, and a software bundle that rivals what you'd find in a professional studio. It's a USB audio interface that's just as comfortable tracking a podcast as it is capturing a vocal take worth keeping.
