So far amazing
I have Apogee Duet2, but after using volt2, I’m surprised, how good it is. Amazing performance. Love it

Beginner friendly
Purchased Volt276 through Sweetwater. This is my first interface unit and I found it quite manageable to get it up and rolling.
Installing the Ableton Live Lite software can be tricky if you aren't computer savvy, as it requires accessibility to the "hidden" C:\ProgramData\Ableton file; however, the answer is a mere internet search away.
And like I said, first time user, and non-tech savvy. But the Volt 76 compresser makes the Martin 000-15M sound just *that* much warmer.

Wonderful interface
I can't say enough about the Volt 276. I love the overall layout, and I love the large volume knob with just the right amount of resistance. The sound is super-clean, and the vintage preset adds just a subtle touch of "air" which is nice. The compressor presets are all subtle, which is terrific to me, as that's the way I was hoping to use them. And lastly, the set-up was super-easy. I can't thank your team enough for such a wonderful product, it is already allowing music-making to be so much more enjoyable for me.

Great Product
I made the right choice for my first interface. I wish the DAW were as simple and easy to set up as the VOLT276 was. Great product. 100% recommend
F. Calzas
much better than i thought
I was using an SSL 2 interface, and i must say i love it, but this one really knocked me out!. The construction, the look, and above all. the sound is much better than i thought . Amazing quality sound. I absolutely LOVE my VOLT 276. Thanks UAD!!!!

Incredible IOS /computer interface!
I use my Volt 276 for recording with my iPad mini gen 6. Into Cubasis 3. With many AUv3 plugins available in the store there’s always something fun to find. The volt is incredible piece of hardware. It’s built like a tank heavy too. I’m really happy with my purchase.

Interface Unit … cables?
Interface Unit is good, supports heavy output guitar pickups and headphones volume is amazing with my Sennheiser 600.
There are not included: cable for Mac, power supply

Perfect home studio interface, don't sleep on the built in 1176!
I'll admit half the reason I replaced my presonus audio box with this was the general vibe. Between the looks and the idea of an 1176-ish built into my interface I was tempted. The holiday sale that included the plate reverb, a drawmer plugin, and the LA2A really sealed the deal for me (a bunch of other stuff too but those stood out the most to me).
The 1176 that's built into it is really quite killer. Makes me have very little I need to do to bass or guitar dynamics wise. Haven't tried vocals yet but I'm sure it'll do well there too.
The pres are nice and clean, whether you're direct instrument in or through XLR and a mic. The build quality is top notch, feels built to last like a real nice studio piece.
Haven't gotten too much out of the vintage knob /button myself yet but will be playing with that more. The only nit picks I have are, I wish it didn't need a separate power cable, having to take two spots on my macbook pro is rough. I also wish the headphone out preamp was a bit beefier. They struggle to drive my Sennheiser HD 6XX Headphones (650's but newer and better).
My only wish was that I had an 8 channel version to aspire towards someday. An 8 channel Volt would be killer.

Great
I OWN A apollo. Love the volt. Sounds great. Standalone is a great future for my voice and Acoustic Guitar. Love the comp and vintage knob. I’m using it on the Road.

Volt 276 studio pack
The Volt 276 has a very nice clean sound to it. I find using it very easy and to the point, something that is a good thing if you are just getting started out. It looks fantastic.
Headphones output is really good and clear. Microphone and headphones in the pack are ok
I have to be honest I do find it a bit hard work as I am producing an album and it won't let me run many AU instruments on mac at the same time. I own a 2022 top end macbook pro (£3499) and was only to run 2 instances of the same soft synth before it started give me the warnings and cut outs began. I was a bit disappointed by this as the store staff assured me that this wouldn't be an issue.
On the whole recording is clean and sounds nice for its price range. I only bought this as it was recommended to by store staff to replace a failing interface from another brand.
I am a serious user and to be fair I should have gone with the Apollo Twin X Quad as I feel this would be better for my needs.
4 stars only due to how it handles or doesn't handle multiple AU instruments.

Be careful what you wish for
I've had the Volt 276 for about a month. It replaced a 10 year old presonus Audio box. It appears to be built to last and I have to give them style points. I've found lots of stuff to like about the included software. So what's the problem? The preamps are picking up every wheeze and gasp when I sing. This problem is compounded by the huge output I'm getting into my headphones. So far lovin it!!

First time recording
For a complete beginner, it’s pretty simple to figure out. It sounds good and gets the job done. Kinda wish it was a little more friendly with stereo pedalboards, but I think that’s more on my end. Overall great product tho.

excellent audio interface. screw iLok, seriously.
Not much to say, its a fantastic interface. Also given its price. Very low latency, lots of headroom.
One thing I really dislike is the fact you need iLok for the free plugins. I did have and use it, but I also intensely hate it. It has me ending up in a jungle of differtm kind of installing methods and I gave up on it. So for the majority of the free stuff, too bad. I didn't manage. People who think of these things should also be aware of the fact that not everyone has the patience to follow a computer program designer's idea. So there's that. Some people would deduct a star from the review but I won't. It's a great piece of gear.
Maybe a thing to think about. I know iLok is about protecting your stuff, but I will not looking at ANY of your plugins if it has to work with iLok. Period.

This is the best interface I've owned yet!
I've owned this unit for a while now, and must say the preamps are incredible. The conversion quality is pristine, and I really, really love the 1176 presets on the front inputs. This is the best sounding interface I've owned in 16 years of home studio life. Even the knobs feel great! The smooth knobs are really helpful with my UA Sphere microphone too (it helps with calibrating it quite a bit). It's pretty affordable too, and nicely made. The "vintage" setting sounds lovely on guitars and vocals.
A. Guerrinha
Really pleased
Really please with this studio pack, the recording quality is really good and the compressor option is super handy. Only thing is the microphone XLR got stuck on the first input when I first used it, was really quite hard to remove, second time I inserted on input 2 and seemed easier to remove XLR jack, so not sure if the imput 1 is faulty or what but I can use the 2 for mic and one for guitar, so not too fussed.

Just got this interface plugged in. Sounds really good . Even iOS audio sounds better than anything I’ve heard. Haven’t listened to a mic, yet. So far, in very impressed with the ease of making sound with this device .
