Our editorial take on the Universal Audio Volt 176 Portable 1x2 USB-C Audio/MIDI Interface with Guitar Recording Kit
The Universal Audio Volt 176 Portable 1x2 USB-C Audio/MIDI Interface with Guitar Recording Kit combines a desktop audio interface with essential recording accessories. This bundle features the Volt 176 interface, which includes Universal Audio's Vintage Mic Preamp mode and a 76 Compressor, offering processing options directly on the device. Its 24-bit/192 kHz conversion capabilities allow for high-resolution audio capture.
The kit provides a dynamic microphone, an XLR cable, closed-back headphones, and a tripod mic stand, establishing a basic recording setup out of the box. Compatibility extends across Mac, PC, iPad, and iPhone devices, making it a flexible option for various setups.
