Universal Audio Volt 876

The Universal Audio Volt 876 USB Recording Studio is a 24-in / 28-out rackmount audio interface with eight vintage mic preamps, 1176-style analogue compressors, and professional 32-bit / 192 kHz conversion, designed for producers who require premium audio quality and comprehensive connectivity on Mac, Windows, iPhone, and iPad. 

Analogue Warmth with Modern Control

Volt 876 provides every channel with selectable Vintage mode, which recreates the character of Universal Audio’s renowned 610 tube preamp. This ensures warmth and presence across all sources, from vocals to guitars and synths. The eight onboard 76 Compressors, derived from the legendary 1176 Limiting Amplifier, add punch and clarity, with source-specific presets for vocals, drums, guitars, and synths that allow fast and effective sound-shaping.

High-Resolution Conversion and Extensive I/O

With 32-bit / 192 kHz audio conversion, Volt 876 delivers pristine clarity and wide dynamic range. It offers 8 x 8 analogue I/O, dual stereo monitor outputs, MIDI In/Out, and two front-panel inputs with switchable Hi-Z for direct instrument recording. Its ADAT connections support expansion of up to three Volt 876 units for a 24-channel system or seamless integration with Apollo and other ADAT-equipped devices. A standalone ADAT mode allows it to function as an 8 x 8 preamp expander.

Software Integration and Intelligent Workflow

The UAD Console app enables Assistive Auto-Gain, session recall, low-latency cue mixes, and onboard talkback. When paired with the LUNA Digital Audio Workstation, Volt 876 becomes part of a fully integrated recording system offering unlimited tracks, analogue summing, and AI-driven tools such as Voice Control, Instrument Detection, and Tempo Listen.

Bundled Plug-Ins and Instruments

Volt 876 includes the UAD Producer Suite, featuring Teletronix LA-2A, UA 1176, and Pultec EQ plug-ins alongside instruments like PolyMAX Synth and the Showtime ’64 Guitar Amp. Additional third-party software such as Melodyne Essential, Ableton Live Lite, UJAM instruments, and Spitfire Audio LABS enhances its creative versatility.

Mobile Recording Capability

Class-compliant with iPad and iPhone, Volt 876 enables professional multitrack recording on the move, ideal for rehearsals, live sessions, and mobile production.
