Universal Audio Volt 1 Audio Interface Overview
Volt 1 introduces Univeral Audio’s latest Audio Interface range, Volt. Volt 1 is the most compact and affordable option from the entire UA Interface catalogue and is the perfect way to start recording, podcasting or live streaming.

Equipped with a top-notch preamp, the Volt 1 is perfect for songwriters, guitarists and podcasters that are after a streamlined, easy-to-use recording interface.

With x1 XLR/Jack combi input and x2 1/4 inch jack outputs, you can easily capture the audio from a Microphone, Guitar or any other mono sound source with ease. It even features MIDI I/O, so producers can sync with external hardware, keyboards or synths.
Volt 1 is bus-powered and easily portable, making it a great choice if you need an audio interface that you can use on the go. If you’re a content creator that tends to record out in the field, you’ll be pleased to know that Volt 1 is also compatible with iOS devices.
The small footprint is ideal for mobile recording or tight desktop studio setups. Plus, the chassis is made from metal, so you have the confidence it can withstand years of rigorous use.
In summary, if you are a vocalist, guitarist, bass player, podcaster or streamer, the Volt 1 is the ideal way to quickly start capturing professional-quality audio recordings at a low cost.
