Universal Audio Expertise Concentrated in the Volt Series
Drawing from the heritage of the legendary 610 and 1176, the Volt 276 brings the DNA of professional studios into a desktop format. Within the Volt range, it stands out with its analog 76 compressor on the inputs, a true creative advantage over models without the "76" suffix.
Who Is It For and What Is It For?
Ideal for home studios, mobile creators, podcasters, streamers, and musicians, the Volt 276 simplifies recording vocals, instruments, and synths. Its direct monitoring allows comfortable recording without noticeable latency, while the dedicated headphone output facilitates headphone work and live streaming.
Key Features and New Additions
UA "Vintage" Preamps
Activate the "Vintage" mode to capture the color and harmonic richness of the 610 preamp, perfect for thickening a vocal or adding body to a guitar, without complex settings.
Built-in 76 Compressor
The analog circuit inspired by the 1176 adds presence and transient control at the source, with presets dedicated to vocals, guitars, synths, and drum machines. The result: more consistent takes ready for mixing.
Modern Conversion and Smooth Workflow
The 24-bit / 192 kHz conversion preserves dynamics and detail, while USB bus power and direct monitoring ensure quick setup and reduced latency.
UAD and Partner Software Suite
You get iconic mixing tools (Teletronix LA-2A, Pultec, Galaxy Tape Echo, Pure Plate Reverb, etc.) and instruments like PolyMAX, along with a comprehensive third-party bundle to compose, record, and finalize your tracks without delay.

Great! It is superb and I even had plugs-ins with it. She has a hell of a look and is very powerful! There is something to mute/unmute the microphone monitor immediately. It is very useful.
