Universal Audio is raising the bar once again. Built by the same team behind the Apollo series, the new Volt 876 USB Recording Studio packs the soul of a world-class analog console into a sleek, next-gen USB interface that’s ready for bands, producers, and serious creators alike.
At its core, the Volt 876 delivers eight UA-designed mic preamps with Vintage Mode, faithfully emulating the warmth and presence of the classic 610 tube console — the same tone that defined records by Ray Charles, Van Halen, and Adele.
Each channel also features 1176-style analog compression, giving your tracks the punch, snap, and polish of Universal Audio’s legendary hardware. Dedicated compressor presets for vocals, guitars, synths, and drums make dialing in professional tone effortless — just plug in, select a mode, and hit record.
With professional-grade 32-bit / 192 kHz conversion, the Volt 876 captures every nuance of your performance while delivering that unmistakable UA analog character. From shimmering acoustic guitars to pounding drum kits, it’s built to handle full-band sessions without breaking a sweat.
Use the included UAD Console app to access Assistive Auto-Gain, store and recall complete session settings, and run two independent low-latency cue mixes with talkback — a major win for collaborative recording.
Volt 876 seamlessly integrates with LUNA, UA’s powerful recording environment for Mac and PC (coming October 21). LUNA gives you unlimited tracks and cutting-edge AI features like Voice Control, Instrument Detection, and Tempo Listen, creating a truly intelligent production experience.
And with the bundled suite of UAD plug-ins and instruments, you’ll have instant access to industry standards like the Teletronix LA-2A and UA 1176 compressors, Pultec EQs, the PolyMAX Synth, and the Showtime ’64 Tube Amp — all ready to shape your sound from the moment you plug in.
Whether you’re tracking a full band or expanding your setup, the Volt 876 can link up to three Volt interfaces or integrate with Apollo and ADAT-equipped gear, giving you the flexibility to scale your studio as your productions evolve.
With USB-C connectivity, iPad/iPhone compatibility, and rock-solid UA engineering, this interface is equally at home in a bedroom studio or a full-on pro setup.
