Universal Audio Volt 2 Gen 2 Audio Interface
Shape your sound while recording
Getting the right character at the recording stage can make your session easier later. The Volt 2 Gen 2 features two Tone Shaping Preamps with 60 dB of gain and three selectable modes, giving you straightforward ways to adjust the character of incoming signals. Warmth provides Tube-inspired colour, Focus offers a Solid State character, and Shine draws on British Class-A preamp tones.
With two mic/line and Hi-Z instrument inputs, you can apply these options while capturing vocals, instruments, or stereo sources. Independent 48V phantom power on each channel also supports compatible condenser microphones, giving you flexibility when choosing your recording setup.
Set levels with less guesswork
A strong performance deserves carefully controlled recording levels. Auto-Gain helps by setting your input levels in seconds, reducing the time you need to spend watching meters before recording. Clip Protection adds another safeguard by responding to unexpected signal peaks that could otherwise cause digital distortion.
The full-colour Smart Display gives you clear, at-a-glance feedback for your inputs, levels, and settings. This combination helps keep setup straightforward, so you can spend more time concentrating on your performance. For monitoring, the interface also provides clear speaker and headphone outputs, helping you keep track of your recordings through tracking and mixing.
Record wherever ideas arrive
A recording setup doesn't always need to stay on your desk. Volt 2 Gen 2 can run from USB bus power, removing the need for a separate external power supply in compatible setups and making mobile sessions simpler. It's USB class-compliant with Mac, Windows, iPad, and iPhone, while Windows systems use the ASIO driver available through UA Connect.
Apple devices with Lightning connections require an Apple Lightning to USB Camera Adapter, and bus-power requirements vary between devices. Built-in loopback also lets you blend computer audio with live sources, giving podcasters, streamers, and content creators a practical way to manage mixed audio directly through the interface.
Build complete sessions with included software
Volt 2 Gen 2 comes with software for recording, mixing, sound shaping, and music production. The UAD Volt Studio Bundle includes LUNA Digital Audio Workstation alongside more than 15 UAD plug-ins and instruments, covering EQ, compression, reverb, tape-style processing, synthesis, and guitar amplification.
The Volt 2 comes complete with the UA 610 Tube Preamp & EQ Collection, Teletronix LA-2A Tube Compressor, UA 1176 Classic FET Compressor, PolyMAX Synth, and Pure Plate Reverb. Additional software includes Melodyne Essential, UJAM Virtual Drummer DEEP, Virtual Bassist DANDY, Splice INSTRUMENT, Prisma Producer Lab by UVI, and three months of FL Studio Producer Edition. UAD Console and LUNA integration also provides session recall and low-latency cue mixes.
Rode NT1 Signature Series Condenser Microphone
HF6 1-Inch true condenser capsule – ideal for vocal and instruments
The NT1 Signature Series is equipped with Rode's HF6 1-inch true condenser capsule. This advanced capsule technology ensures that your recordings have a rich bass response, detailed midrange, and sparkling top end. The smooth frequency response of the microphone ensures that every nuance of your performance is faithfully reproduced, while the tight cardioid polar pattern helps to minimize unwanted background noise and focus on the sound source.
Ultra low-noise performance and high SPL
One of the most prominent upgrades to the design of the NT1 Signature Series is its incredibly low noise level. With just 4dBA of self-noise, this microphone is the quietest studio condenser microphone in the world. This means that your recordings will have an impressive signal-to-noise ratio, resulting in clean and professional-quality audio. Additionally, the NT1 Signature Series excels at capturing even the loudest sounds, thanks to its high SPL handling capabilities. This makes it a versatile microphone that can handle a wide range of recording scenarios.
Complete studio package
The NT1 Signature Series is available in a sleek black finish, adding a touch of sophistication to your recording setup. Not only does the microphone look great, but it is also highly durable. The premium components and robust construction ensure that it is resistant to scuffs and scratches, so it will continue to look and perform at its best for years to come.
