That Analog Sound

Universal Audio is well-known for its vintage analog designs, and the Volt 2 exemplifies that expertise. This audio interface has a proprietary analog mic/line preamplifier circuit that sounds eerily similar to Universal Audio's famous 610 tube preamplifier.

The Vintage Preamp Mode on the Universal Audio Volt 2 combines carefully built op-amps and solid-state circuitry to provide tube-like dynamic saturation and clipping, providing you with strong, intuitive tone shaping for your microphones and line-level inputs. The best part is that Vintage Preamp Mode is configurable, allowing you to utilize the Volt 2 with external preamps and channel strips while adding no coloring.
