Universal Audio Volt 2 Max 10-In/4-Out Audio Interface w/ 2 Microphone Preamps

Universal Audio's most feature-loaded compact desktop interface delivers 10-in/4-out connectivity, 32-bit/192kHz audio conversion, and dual Tone Shaping Preamps with built-in dynamics processing, all in a USB bus-powered package. The Volt 2 Max comes from the same engineering team behind UA's Apollo series, combining professional studio sound with intelligent front-panel control for musicians, producers, podcasters, and content creators who need polished results without reaching for additional plug-ins.

Three Tone Shaping modes, Warmth, Focus, and Shine, add analogue-inspired character directly at the input stage, while the Max Processing system provides six onboard compression presets inspired by legendary designs including the 1176 and LA-2A. This creates over 18 unique tonal combinations accessible from the front panel. The full-colour Smart Display shows gain-reduction metering in real time, while Auto-Gain and Clip Protection help ensure clean recordings regardless of source level. Two mic/line inputs with dual front-panel Hi-Z instrument inputs handle guitars and basses, and ADAT expansion plus MIDI I/O accommodate growing studio setups. A built-in talkback microphone streamlines communication during recording sessions.

The interface works with Mac, Windows, iPad, and iPhone through USB bus power, delivering true mobile flexibility. Dual headphone outputs and built-in loopback functionality support streaming and podcasting workflows. Every unit includes the UAD Volt Studio Bundle with LUNA Digital Audio Workstation, over 15 UAD plug-ins and instruments, Melodyne Essential, Plugin Alliance software, and UJAM virtual instruments for complete out-of-the-box production capability.
