Utilizing UA's well-known analog experience, the Universal Audio Volt 176 produces a USB-C audio interface deserving of a multidecade pedigree. With its superior analog circuitry and industry-best 24-bit/192kHz AD/DA conversion, the Volt 176 lets you produce music productions, livestreams, and podcasts with a sound quality that is fit for a professional. Convenient input metering and a single microphone preamplifier with switchable analog sound 610 style are features of this bus-powered audio interface. But the real star of this interface is its integrated FET compressor, which is adapted from the 1176 and has three push-button application modes. In addition, direct monitoring for zero-latency operation is provided, and monitoring is made simple with stereo analog outputs and a headphones output. Additionally, MIDI I/O is provided for your controllers and synths.
