Universal Audio Volt 2 USB-C Audio Interface

 

“The vintage preamp mode lends character and a sheen of quality to your recordings that belies the affordability of the hardware..” – MusicTech

 

“This is a perfectly priced unit and provides more value than a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2. As much as I love that line of products, I think Universal Audio has a more valuable interface here and I can’t recommend it enough. If you’re an aspiring musician, beatmaker, producer, rapper, singer, etc., you need an Audio Interface. It’s the centralized hub for everything you do in the studio, and the Volt 2 has all your bases covered for a more than affordable price + it has loads of power. It also just won an award (TEC Award) which I think is well-deserved. This is a fantastic product.” – Home Studio Basics
