Universal Audio Volt 4 USB Audio Interface for recording, podcasting, and streaming

Dead easy to set up and the sound quality is spot-on. Feels well put together with solid knobs and ports. Perfect for a home studio or anyone starting out recording. You might not need all the ports that I do so grab a smaller version if that's the case. I have owned the Apollo Twin before this and it's not got all the bells and whistles like the Apollo's but the sound quality is exactly the same to my ears. Oh and talking about ears, I've added my own solid wooden ears (Side Panels) to mine to give a more premium look and add a nice angle that makes the buttons and knobs easier to see and move/push.

Easy to setup the headphone volume is only quarter of the way up in volume and it’s loud and crystal clear,perfect for recording midi and audio with no latency whatsoever,also very easy to setup with Mac computer it’s just plug in and play.I would definitely highly recommend this audio interface

This is my 1st ever Volt interface, and I'm happy with it. I bought the 276. I use it for recording metal guitars and vocals, and am happy with the pre amps. My only gripe is the compressor button will introduce a loud noise floor, so use at caution. I don't ever use it for recording vocals/guitars, but sometimes use it when chatting over discord etc. The compressor is basically a gimmick.Built quality is sturdy and nice, the interface looks really cool. The headphone input has TONS of volume so no worries about lack of volume when recording and listening. The vintage mode adds some nice warmth to my guitars and vocals.The installation and set up was easy as 123, and the free bundled software is really cool. Comes with Ableton Lite, several plug ins etc. Would definitely recommend to anyone not sure about this interface.Every now and then I will hear some crackling but this is due to me needing to update my PC's bios. I am using Windows 11.

Great features great sound quality. Just as good as my apollo twin

Quick to set up easy to use. Currently using for narration for my YouTube videos. Haven’t tested for my guitars and song writing yet. Only downside it doesn’t really tell you that the free plugins won’t work on your phone if you are using it for phone. Works well with GarageBand. Much better interface than my previous one.

I've used this interface for months now and am very happy with it.The pros outweigh the cons at this pricepoint, and I'm confident to say that anyone seeking a new audio interface will be happy with this one.PROS:-The connectivity is very good, 2x XLR or 1/4" input on the front, 1/4" jack line level inputs on the back. 4 channels (1/2 in-out, 3/4 in-out)-Mic preamps sound very nice, and line level is clean and uncoloured. This was hugely important for me!-Styling is pleasing (wood panels a nice touch), build quality good.-USB C is a great improvement for this type of equipment as it powers the unit as well.*-Works instantly with Logic Pro and other Mac softwareCONS:-The meters on the front are very low-res, so it's not really possible to garner any info about your signal other than it's loud or quiet-I know I said styling is nice, but the knobs are a bit plasticky-It would've been really nice to have a second USB C socket on the back to daisychain power or use it as a hub of sorts.*

I use this with the sm7b you don't need anything else just a cable, it runs fine when boosting the gain in software no issues sounds beautiful.

So what will this do for you?Well I don’t know, but for me it has everything I need it to do. As an independent artist, I am now able to use some preset compressors for my vocals or guitar. Unfortunately you can’t change the settings, but at this price it is fine. You are getting an analog compressor based on their 1176 limiting amplifier. So choices are £1000s for the amp or £100s for this. They also put a tube emulation within the unit too to capture the vintage warmth which does add that flavour if you are looking for it.The software which comes with this is a great bonus, though I already had half of it to begin with. All in all a great step up from a Scarlett interface. Not really to put the Scarlett down in any way as it is also a great interface, and a great alternative to this if you don’t want all the added features.I got this for the on board features it provides to make my workflow a little easier and give me some inspiration being a one man band who hires others.
