Volt 1 is great!
Interface is a 10! The construction is robust, the sound is spectacular, MIDI is what I needed, preamp has great sound. I was having latency problems with my old interface and now that's over. The plugins that came with it are so good that I bought the UAD Signature 2 on sale. I'm very happy with the result!
J. Lee
Perfect.
No words, just 12/10.

Well -designed Audio Interface
I had some specific needs for this interface - mainly having MIDI I/O, which is very rare on low-cost interfaces these days. The Volt 1 fills this need at a reasonable price, has a quality mic preamp, an on/off switch (also rare on many small interfaces) and a fabulous software package as well. It's also very compact and portable, and joined my existing interface as an aggregate device on my Mac with no issues at all. Highly recommended for home studio and portable use.

I had an issue with my laptop and it's great audio lag output. After buying this USB audio interface, the audio lag seems like it's gone now. In CS2 I can also react faster now for audio cues! Great not only for music but also will work for gaming (espescially rythm genre)

VOLT 1
The VOLT is absolute magic for recording vocals. Even before any processing, vocals sound crisp, full, and sparkly. And that's on a $50 mic!! UA did a heck of a job making a budget friendly interface!

This time I bought VOLT1. I'm satisfied. It's been three and a half years since I started producing original music with a DAW using Steinberg 12. I wasn't particularly dissatisfied with the Steiberg 12, but I wanted to make the sound more characteristic of UAD, so I became interested in the VOLT product. I produce music by myself. I can't sing because the quality of my voice is bad. The guitar is directly connected to the GT-1000, so there is no need for VOLT2 or a higher-end device. I am satisfied with the sound quality of VOLT1. At least to me, the playback sound is very UAD-like and sounds like an analog device.The only improvement I would like for UAD is to increase the installation power between the desk and VOLT1 a little more. Sometimes when I turn the knob, VOLT1 also moves on the desk. Steinberg 12 had excellent installation power and did not move.

Grat little bedroom interface
This is a nice, easy-to-use interface for novice or first-time users. It sounds good and is relatively easy to set up in most DAWs. My only issue is the software. After loading a bunch of UAD plugins, I found they don't work with the Volt series. I think UA could do a better job of informing the user what plugins will work and list which ones won't right from the start. There should be an algorithm written that would prevent you from loading software you can't use on your particular device or a warning that the software you are loading will only work on these devices. As a newbie and first-time user, I loaded a bunch of UAD plugins that won't run on the Volt 1 chipset. Other than that; it would be 5 stars and I would definitely buy it again.

pristine sound
The Volt audio interface has superb sound clarity, the vintage preamplifier option offers a unique quality, and the plug-ins are fantastic. I specifically bought it to use live with the iPhone. La interfaz de audio Volt tiene una claridad estupenda de sonido, la opción del preamplificador vintage ofrece una calidad unica, los plug ins son barbaros. Yo la compre específicamente para utilizarla en vivo con el iPhone.

If You’re Skeptical, Don’t Be
Let’s start off with the budget friendly pricing that is indeed something that adds to the inviting aura of the Volt 1, Volt 2, and so on. Whether you’re a rookie or a seasoned vet when it comes to recording any type of audio - These interfaces are bundled together at the top five, somewhere in the middle. Of course the Apollo is #1 but the Volt series are basically the little brothers as far as the quality. From the look and feel even including the packaging, to the user friendly surface and quality of captured sound, UA is here to provide excellence. I love my Volt 1 which I use to record vocals. I also have it set up with my JBL 305 MKII’s. So it gets used daily whether I’m just producing and mixing, or recording for an hour, sometimes even the entire day. If you’re not sure about purchasing one of these interfaces- just do it, it’s beyond worth it and blows others out of the water.
A. Rakotoarinelina
Incredibly awesome
Can't believe an audio interface in this range of price is that good seriously. I'm loving it. The 4 stars is for the Ujam plug-ins that disappeared in the UA Connect after I took a little time (like one week) to redeem them. I can't see them anymore in the list
R. Rupert
The volt 1 is Fantastic
The Volt 1 has become a favorite of mine. It feels like a warmer tone than other interfaces. The free plug-ins are fantastic
j. MOUKAMBI
installation impossible
Je ne comprend absolument pas cette carte. Je viens de prendre une Volt 1 mais impossible de procéder à l'enregistrement dans la liste il y a Apollo mais pas Volt 1 du coup impossible d'installer la carte. Si je ne trouve aucune solution d'ici lundi je renvoie le matériel. Du coup je note 1 juste pour l'envoie

no regrets buying this interface
one of the best decisions i have made when purchasing a small interface unit. I have put it through the ringer for the last few weeks. have traveled with it, been in multiple trips. and still works like a tank.
A. Bordou
Great product! Definitely recommend!
Awesome! Smooth touch sensation, great performance!
In addition, it comes a a few gift from Universal Audio.
This is my first audio interface clearly can’t give much feedback yet it’s being working great so far very stable connection and quality.
Definitely a great suggestion as a first purchase by the associate at Guitar Center, the opportunity cost is definitely well worth it.
I’m extremely happy with my investment.
Thank you Universal Audio for bringing an amazing product to life.

I have the Volt 476 and the Volt 1 and I can honestly say, these are the best interfaces that I have ever purchased. For the money you can't best the quality of these units.
