12 inputs / 6 outputs total: two mic/line combo inputs, two front-panel Hi-Z instrument inputs, two extra line inputs, ADAT or S/PDIF optical input for up to eight extra digital channels, MIDI In/Out, and a stereo monitor pair plus line outs 3-4
USB bus-powered and class-compliant on macOS 12 Monterey or newer, Windows 10 64-bit or newer, iPadOS and iOS 16+, with the UAD Volt Studio Bundle and LUNA DAW included

Universal Audio Volt 4 Gen 2 — Studio Sound and Smart Control in a Bus-Powered USB Interface

The Universal Audio Volt 4 Gen 2 is a desktop USB audio interface designed for project studios that need more inputs than a two-channel box can offer without giving up portability. It combines two Tone Shaping Preamps, full 32-bit / 192 kHz conversion, and a full-colour Smart Display in a bus-powered chassis that runs on Mac, Windows, iPad, and iPhone. The Volt 4 Gen 2 is the right choice for producers, songwriters, and small bands who want UA-grade preamp character with room to grow into ADAT expansion, MIDI hardware, and outboard gear.

What Sets the Volt 4 Gen 2 Apart

Where most compact interfaces stop at two mic preamps and a headphone jack, the Volt 4 Gen 2 layers analog character on top of a real studio signal path. The two Tone Shaping Preamps offer three switchable modes — Warmth (tube), Focus (solid-state), and Shine (British Class-A) — so the tone you hear while tracking is the tone that lands on the track. Pair that with Auto-Gain, Clip Protection, and a Smart Display that shows every input at a glance, and the box behaves like a miniature console rather than a basic adapter.

Conversion and Audio Performance — Capture Every Detail

High headroom conversion is what separates a finished record from a demo, and the Volt 4 Gen 2 is built around 32-bit / 192 kHz A/D–D/A converters that preserve the full dynamic range of the source. The mic preamps deliver a low-noise front end, the monitor outputs stay clean, and the headphone amp has enough power to drive common studio headphones cleanly.

Bit Depth / Sample Rates: 32-bit / 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4, 192 kHz
Microphone Input Dynamic Range: 119 dB (A-weighted) with THD+N: -110 dB (0.0003%) — a clean front end for detailed acoustic sources
Monitor / Line Output Dynamic Range: 126 dB (A-weighted) at THD+N: -112 dB (0.0003%) — clean playback path to studio monitors
Headphone Output Power: 45 mW into 32 Ω, 24 mW into 300 Ω — drives common studio headphones without strain

I/O and Connectivity — A Hub That Grows With You

The Volt 4 Gen 2 is built as a small studio hub, not just an input device. Two mic/line combo inputs are joined by two front-panel Hi-Z instrument inputs for guitar and bass, while two additional line inputs accept outboard gear. MIDI In and Out connect controllers and synths, and the onboard USB hub port can power a MIDI controller at 5 VDC / 0.5 A, freeing up a port on the host computer.

Simultaneous I/O: 12-in / 6-out — four analog inputs plus up to eight digital channels over ADAT
Microphone Preamps: two Tone Shaping Preamps, 60 dB digitally-controlled gain with switchable +48 V phantom power per channel
Digital Expansion: ADAT or S/PDIF optical input — 8 channels at 44.1/48 kHz, 4 at 96 kHz (S/MUX), 2 at 192 kHz
MIDI: In / Out on 1/8" TRS Type A jacks plus a USB hub port for peripherals

Workflow and Software — Smart Controls Plus a Full Studio Bundle

Setup speed matters when inspiration hits, and the Volt 4 Gen 2 is designed to get a session running in minutes. Auto-Gain sets levels in seconds, Clip Protection catches unexpected peaks, and the full-colour Smart Display shows inputs, levels, and settings without diving into a menu. Built-in loopback blends live inputs with computer audio for streaming, podcasts, and video calls, while class-compliant USB connectivity means no driver install is needed on Mac.

Smart Display: full-colour screen — at-a-glance feedback for inputs, levels, and preamp modes
Auto-Gain & Clip Protection: automatic level setting and peak safety — protects takes from accidental distortion
Power: USB bus-powered, 4.2 W typical / 5.8 W maximum with rear-panel on/off switch and external 5 VDC input for hungrier mobile setups
Included Software: LUNA DAW, UAD Volt Studio Bundle (UA 610, Century Tube Channel Strip, Teletronix LA-2A, UA 1176, Pure Plate Reverb, Galaxy Tape Echo, Oxide Tape Recorder, Vibe Analog Machines, PolyMAX Synth, Anthem Analog Synth, UAD Lion '68 Super Lead Amp, UAD Showtime '64 Tube Amp, Topline Vocal Tune) plus Melodyne Essential, Ampeg SVT-VR, Virtual Drummer DEEP, Virtual Bassist DANDY, Splice INSTRUMENT, Prisma, and a 3-month FL Studio Producer Edition trial
System Requirements: macOS 12 Monterey or newer, Windows 10 64-bit or newer, iPadOS / iOS 16 or newer — works with Ableton Live, FL Studio, GarageBand, Logic Pro, Pro Tools, and other major DAWs

I have a remark regarding the description

Number of Channels: 12

This product offers 12 channels, allowing you to efficiently connect and manage multiple audio sources simultaneously. Each channel operates independently, giving you full control over each input, greatly expanding your ability to create and edit sound.

Number of Preamps: 2

The product features two preamplifiers, ensuring high-quality sound processing for two input channels. This system provides clear sound with low noise, ideal for stereo recording or using two microphones or instruments simultaneously.

Phantom Power: Yes

Phantom power provides the necessary voltage for condenser microphones that require an external power source to operate properly. This power supply is built directly into the microphone input, eliminating the need for additional power supplies.

Bit Depth: 32 bit

The 32-bit depth provides an extremely wide dynamic range and extreme precision in audio processing. This format is ideal for professional recording, post-production and sound design, where it is essential to capture every detail with maximum precision and minimum noise. 32-bit depth ensures the highest possible quality, which is especially important when processing highly dynamic audio.

S/PDIF: Yes

S/PDIF is a digital interface used to transfer high-quality audio between devices such as CD players, audio interfaces, amplifiers, and home theaters. It transfers audio signals in digital form without any loss of quality. S/PDIF ensures clean and accurate signal transmission without the need for conversion to analog form, minimizing noise and interference, making it ideal for professional and home audio systems.

ADAT: Yes

ADAT is a digital transmission protocol that allows the transmission of up to 8 channels of digital audio over a single optical cable (Toslink). It is often used in studio applications to increase the number of audio channels between devices such as audio interfaces and digital mixers. ADAT allows for high-quality audio transmission while providing more channels at lower sample rates. This format is ideal for situations where it is necessary to transmit multiple channels of digital audio without loss of quality.

Inputs

Jack 6,3 mm TRS
Jack 6,3 mm TS
ADAT / S/PDIF
MIDI IN Jack 3,5 mm TRS
Combo (XLR/Jack)

Outputs

MIDI OUT Jack 3,5 mm TRS

DA Conversion: Yes

DA conversion allows digital signals to be converted to analog signals with high accuracy. This process ensures that digital audio is reproduced with minimal distortion, preserving all the fine details and dynamics of the original sound. Thanks to high-quality DA conversion, the sound is clear, rich, and true to the original when played through speakers or headphones.

AD Conversion: Yes

High-quality AD conversion ensures that every detail and dynamic range of analog audio is preserved when converted to digital form, ideal for professional recording and production. This allows analog sound sources such as microphones and instruments to be accurately recorded in digital systems.
