Universal Audio Volt 876 24x28 USB-C Audio Interface

Bring classic Universal Audio character to full-band and multichannel recording with the Universal Audio Volt 876. This 1U rackmount USB-C audio interface combines eight digitally controlled microphone preamps, selectable Vintage preamp coloration, and analog 76 compression on every input with professional 32-bit/192 kHz audio conversion.

Designed for studios, producers, bands, houses of worship, and content-production environments, Volt 876 provides the analog and digital connectivity needed to record larger sessions while keeping monitoring and setup straightforward. Assistive Auto-Gain, session recall, two independent cue mixes, and an integrated talkback microphone help streamline recording sessions with multiple performers.

Classic UA Sound Across Eight Inputs

Each of the eight microphone preamps includes a selectable Vintage mode inspired by the warmth and presence of Universal Audio's classic 610 tube console. Every channel also includes an analog 76 Compressor with Voice, Guitar, Fast, and Off settings inspired by the legendary UA 1176 limiting amplifier.
