However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

Key Features
The Universal Audio Volt 1 Gen 2 Audio Interface is a compact recording solution for singer-songwriters, musicians, podcasters and content creators. Its 32-bit / 192 kHz conversion captures performances with plenty of detail, while the Tone Shaping Preamp gives you three useful character modes: Warmth, Focus, and Shine.
Product Ref: 393008
Getting the right character at the recording stage can make your session easier later. The Volt 1 Gen 2 features a Tone Shaping Preamp 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 these options available directly through the interface, you can quickly find a suitable starting point for vocals and instruments without relying solely on processing afterwards. Hands-on controls also make setting your recording levels quick and approachable.
With 32-bit / 192 kHz audio conversion, the Volt 1 Gen 2 is designed to retain the detail in your performances as you record. That makes it useful when you want to capture the nuances of vocals, guitars, and other sources clearly. You also get dedicated mic/line and front-panel Hi-Z instrument connections, allowing you to record your voice and instrument together.
The microphone input supplies 48V phantom power, so you can connect compatible condenser microphones without needing a separate phantom power unit. And for monitoring, the studio-quality headphone output gives you a clear way to hear your performance while tracking and mixing.
A recording setup doesn't always need to stay on your desk. Volt 1 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. Its rugged construction is also designed for continued use, giving you an interface that can move between home sessions and mobile recording setups.
Volt 1 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 1 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. You also receive additional software including Melodyne Essential, UJAM Virtual Drummer DEEP, Virtual Bassist DANDY, Splice INSTRUMENT, Prisma Producer Lab by UVI, and three months of FL Studio Producer Edition. Built-in loopback adds another practical option, letting you combine computer audio and live inputs for streaming or podcast production.
