UAD Volt 476P

Universal Audio Volt 476P｜4-in/4-out USB-C Audio Interface with Four Built-in 1176 Compressors and Vintage Preamps

Inject Classic Analog Soul into Your Creations: Four-Track Vintage Preamps and 76 Compressors

The Universal Audio Volt 476P is a 4-in/4-out USB-C audio interface, featuring premium 24-bit/192kHz A/D Resolution, four switchable Vintage microphone preamp modes, and built-in analog circuitry derived from the classic 1176 compressor. This interface is designed for musicians, producers, and bands who need to record multiple high-quality audio sources simultaneously, allowing you to easily record more complex, larger-scale productions with legendary studio sound.

Compared to other audio interfaces in the same series or from other brands, the Volt 476P's greatest advantage is that its four input channels are all equipped with complete analog coloration circuitry. This allows you to independently impart warm saturation, like Universal Audio's classic 610 tube preamp, and the punch and dynamic control of the 1176 compressor to each audio source at the initial recording stage, shaping professional sound without relying entirely on post-production plugins.

▼

A：It is a 4-in/4-out audio interface, distinguished by its built-in analog Vintage microphone preamps and 1176-style compressors on all four input channels, allowing you to independently add classic warm tone and dynamic control to each source when recording multiple tracks.

Q：What is the difference between Volt 476P and Volt 476?

▼

A：The main difference lies in the number of microphone preamps. The Volt 476P offers four microphone preamps with Vintage mode and compressors; whereas the Volt 476 only has two, with the other two being pure Line-in inputs. Additionally, the 476P provides an extra independent headphone output.

Q：Is the Volt 476P suitable for recording drums?

Q：Can the two headphone outputs on the Volt 476P play different content?

▼

A：No. These two headphone outputs share the same audio source but allow for independent volume adjustment. They are primarily designed for multiple performers or engineers to monitor the same mix simultaneously.

Q：I am a podcast host and need to record three people simultaneously. Is the Volt 476P worth buying?

▼

A：Absolutely. The Volt 476P provides independent microphone inputs for up to four participants, and each channel can utilize the Vintage preamp and 76 compressor to optimize vocals, significantly enhancing your show's sound quality and production efficiency.
