Legendary analog sound for the whole band.
The Volt 876 provides you with a serious, next-generation 32-bit/192 kHz USB audio interface for music production, with eight built-in vintage preamps and classic 1176-style compressors on its front panel, delivering studio-quality analog sound to every mic and instrument you connect to it.
Designed by the same team behind the legendary Apollo interfaces, the Volt 876 offers a beautifully integrated recording experience, including full settings recall, mobile recording on iPhone or iPad, an award-winning suite of UAD plug-ins and instruments, as well as UA’s LUNA DAW, equipped with AI-powered recording tools.
Record your music with top-tier 32-bit sound
From the team that brought you the Apollo, the Volt 876 offers latest-generation 32-bit/192 kHz sound quality with eight preamps and compressors, perfect for recording larger bands, with more character than any USB interface in its class.
Capture legendary sounds with eight vintage mic preamps
There’s a reason UA’s 610 tube mic preamp has been heard on albums from Ray Charles to Van Halen to Adele: its warmth and presence are unrivaled. The Volt 876 gives you that same iconic preamp sound thanks to selectable Vintage mode: UA’s exclusive tube emulation circuitry that gives your tracks the sound of a studio classic.
Get 1176-style compression tuned for vocals, guitar, and more
Add album-worthy punch and presence with the Volt 876’s eight built-in 76 compressors, an innovative analog circuit inspired by UA’s classic 1176 limiting amplifier. The 76 compressor features presets for taming vocals, guitar, synth, and drums (fast mode). So, just plug in, choose a setting, and get a great sound.
All the connectivity you need with 24 x 28 I/O
The Volt 876 offers 8 + 8 analog connections for mics, instruments, and studio gear, along with two front-panel mic/line inputs with high-impedance switching for easy DI recording. Want more? ADAT I/O lets you daisy-chain up to three Volt 876s to create a 24-channel recording system, or expand Apollo and other ADAT-equipped studios.
Includes the UAD Producer Suite: premium-quality plug-ins and instruments
The Volt 876 includes the UAD Producer Suite, a collection of premium UAD plug-ins (from Teletronix LA-2A and UA 1176 compressors to Pultec EQs, as well as the PolyMAX synth and Showtime ’64 guitar amp) allowing you to achieve the sounds of classic studio gear and inspiring instruments right out of the box.
Use it with LUNA for analog studio sound and AI-powered smart tools
The Volt 876 works with all major DAWs. But when you pair it with UA’s LUNA DAW software, you get the incredible sound of an analog studio with powerful hardware/software integration, unlimited tracks, and AI-powered smart tools (including "Hey Luna" voice control, instrument detection, and tempo listening) that make recording easier.
Save and recall all interface settings
Using the UAD Console app or LUNA, the Volt 876 lets you save time, notably through the Assistive Auto-Gain feature, which automatically sets your recording levels, and two low-latency cue mixes with talkback. Plus, you can save your 876 front-panel settings and cue mixes for instant session recall.
Ready for mobile recording on iPad and iPhone
Need to record an important session remotely? Plug the Volt 876 into your iPad or iPhone, and you can easily create beats and samples, record your band’s rehearsals, and edit your songs wherever you are.
