A complete studio with compression and two pairs of monitors

The Universal Audio Volt 4 Max is a 12-in/6-out USB audio interface with two Tone Shaping Preamps and onboard Max compression (LA-2A and 1176, 18 character combinations). It adds line inputs for outboard gear, speaker switching for two pairs of monitors (Main and Alt), an ADAT/S-PDIF optical input, MIDI and talkback.

Tone Shaping Preamps: character on every take

The Tone Shaping Preamps deliver up to 60 dB of gain with three character modes: Warmth adds the rounded glow of a tube, Focus the clarity of solid-state and Shine the open lift of a British Class A circuit. 32-bit converters running at up to 192 kHz preserve every nuance of the performance. The UAD Volt Studio bundle with 15+ plug-ins (LA-2A, 1176, Pure Plate Reverb, Galaxy Tape Echo), LUNA and Melodyne Essential complete a full studio in one box.
