Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Vintage preamp mode on the Volt 2 actually do?
The Vintage mode applies analog circuitry inspired by Universal Audio's classic 610 tube preamp to your input signal, adding warmth and harmonic richness before the signal is digitized. It is a hardware feature, not a software plugin.
Can I use the Volt 2 with an iPad or iPhone?
Yes. The Volt 2 supports iPad and iPhone running iOS 14 or later. You will need an external Volt power supply and, for Lightning-equipped devices, an Apple Lightning to USB Camera Adapter. iPads with USB-C connect directly.
What software is included with the Volt 2?
It comes with Universal Audio's LUNA Digital Audio Workstation and a selection of UAD plugins including compressors, EQs, and virtual instruments — the same tools used in professional studios.
How many inputs and outputs does the Volt 2 have?
The Volt 2 is a 2-in/2-out interface, giving you two input channels and two output channels, suitable for recording vocals and an instrument simultaneously.
Does the Volt 2 require external power or drivers?
The Volt 2 is USB bus-powered on Mac and PC, so no external power supply is needed for standard use. Drivers are not required on Mac; Windows users can download ASIO drivers from Universal Audio.
