“The Universal Audio Volt 876 adds another great option for the musician looking to take a step up from their two-in audio interface, or any band that wants to record in their rehearsal space. It’s super easy to use, sounds phenomenal, offers plenty of upgrade potential, and comes with an excellent software offering.” – MusicRadar

Meet Legendary Analog Sound for the Whole Band

Created by the same team behind the iconic Apollo interfaces, the Volt 876 USB Recording Studio gives serious music creators a next-generation 32-bit/192 kHz audio interface. With eight onboard Vintage mic preamps and 1176-style compressors right on the front panel, it delivers the unmistakable warmth and punch of a world-class analog studio to every mic and instrument you plug in.

The Volt 876 offers a fully integrated recording experience with total recall of interface settings, seamless mobile recording on iPhone or iPad, a premium suite of UAD plug-ins and instruments, and the LUNA Digital Audio Workstation featuring smart, AI-powered production tools.

Armed with Class-Leading AD/DA Conversion

Designed by the same team behind Universal Audio’s best-selling Apollo interfaces, the Volt 876 features next-generation 32-bit/192 kHz AD/DA conversion for stunning sonic accuracy. Its optimized circuitry captures every nuance with lifelike clarity and depth, ensuring your recordings sound rich and three-dimensional. With Assistive Auto-Gain, setting perfect levels is effortless—every take is a keeper. The Volt 876 delivers the kind of rock-solid, professional results you’d expect from a world-class studio, empowering you to create truly album-ready tracks.

Infuse Your Tracks with Rich Analog Character

Universal Audio has long been revered for its legendary analog designs, and the Volt 876 proudly carries that legacy forward. At its heart are eight analog mic preamps voiced to capture the warmth and presence of UA’s classic 610 tube preamp. Engage Vintage Preamp Mode, and expertly tuned op-amps and solid-state circuitry deliver tubelike saturation and musical clipping — giving your mics and line-level sources effortless analog vibe. When you prefer transparency, simply switch it off for pristine compatibility with external preamps and channel strips.

Each mic channel also features a true analog 76 Compressor, inspired by the iconic UREI 1176. These aren’t digital plug-ins, but real FET-based circuits with unmistakable punch and character. With three quick-select modes—Vocals, Guitar, and Fast (ideal for drums) — you’ll always have the perfect settings at your fingertips for any source.

A Generous, Expandable I/O Configuration

The Volt 876 comes loaded with eight analog mic preamps and compressors—ideal for capturing full bands or larger sessions—delivering more tone and character than any USB interface in its class. Two studio-grade headphone amps provide crystal-clear monitoring, while the built-in talkback mic ensures effortless communication during recording.

Need more connectivity? The Volt 876 offers 16 channels of ADAT I/O, giving you up to 24 inputs and 28 outputs. You can even link up to three Volt 876 units, making it a scalable solution that integrates seamlessly with Apollo or third-party interfaces.

Includes a Premium Software Bundle

The Volt 876 ships with a powerful suite of professional software, giving you everything you need to start producing right out of the box. At the center is UA’s award-winning LUNA Recording System, offering the workflow and sonic character of an analog studio in a modern DAW.

You’ll also get a premium collection of UAD plug-ins and instruments, including the legendary Teletronix LA-2A compressors, Pultec EQs, and modern favorites like the PolyMAX Synth, Century Tube Channel Strip, Oxide Tape Recorder, Verve Analog Machines Essentials, Pure Plate Reverb, Galaxy Tape Echo, and the Showtime ’64 Tube Guitar Amp.

On top of that, Volt 876 includes a carefully curated lineup of third-party titles: Ableton Live Lite, Celemony Melodyne Essential, Plugin Alliance Ampeg SVT-VR Classic, Softube Marshall Plexi Classic Amp, UJAM Virtual Drummer Deep and Virtual Bassist Dandy, plus Spitfire Audio Labs.
