Universal Audio Volt 2 USB Recording Studio

If you need an interface that sounds expensive but doesn’t make you sell a kidney — the Volt 2 from Universal Audio is exactly that. You plug it in and immediately hear what you’re paying for: the sound is clean, tight, no mud. Even on regular monitors, you can tell the signal is “glued together” — you won’t have to fix it a hundred times in the mix.

The vintage preamp mode? Pure gold. Press the button — and your voice gets that vibe, warmth, like it’s running through a tube. Perfect for vocals, guitars — really hits the spot.

And the plugins — not just some demo junk. You get real usable stuff: compressors, reverbs, amp sims, plus software from Ableton, Softube, and more. Enough to build a full studio from scratch and start recording right away.

So yeah, if you’re looking for a solid, high-quality interface for a fair price — the Volt 2 is 100% worth checking out. I got one — no regrets. The sound is awesome, everything runs smooth on both Windows and Mac. And it looks good too, not like some cheap plastic toy — it’s solid.

The Volt 2 elevates your production space with impeccable style, built to last decades.

It gives you simple 2-in/2-out audio connections. Just plug your mics or instruments into the front panel. Then connect your speakers or headphones to monitor your audio with no latency.

With Volt, you’ll be creating like a pro, fast. Some audio interfaces give you a smattering of random audio apps. Not Volt. Instead, they put together a bundle of serious music production tools, virtual instruments, and plug‑ins from the industry's best.

One of the best purchases I've made in my pursuit to build a home studio.

It's truly a marvelous experience when plugging in for the first time! The packaging had a premium feel to it. The setup was so easy and effortless, i just had to download one app and it was working perfectly. It has it's own ASIO and the default options are perfect! The build quality was great. The case is made out of metal and the knobs have that nice satin finish on them. All of it feels expensive and far better than my Scarlett interface. My output is via an external PA speaker through the headphone slot on the interface and it sounds bonkers with my neural dsp plugins. It also came with alot free software! 10/10 for sure!
