Portable 2x2 USB-C Interface

The Volt 276 is a compact USB-C audio and MIDI interface designed for musicians, producers, live streamers and content creators. It delivers 24-bit/192 kHz resolution for detailed recording and playback. Plug-and-play operation works across Mac, PC, iPad and iPhone without driver installation.

Two-channel recording with analog compression

This unit suits users who need two simultaneous inputs with XLR and 1/4" TRS combo jacks plus MIDI I/O. The built-in 76 compressor, modeled on the classic 1176, adds punch to vocals and instruments during tracking. Buyers who require more than two microphone preamps or additional line-level inputs should consider a larger interface.

Built-in 76 compressor circuit

The defining specification is the integrated analog compressor based on the 1176 design. It provides instant dynamic control at the input stage, shaping the sound before it reaches the computer. If your workflow depends on external outboard processing or software-only compression, this hardware feature may not be necessary.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the Volt 276 is recording at the full 24-bit/192 kHz resolution after setup?

Open your DAW or system audio settings and confirm the sample rate reads 192 kHz at 24-bit; the front-panel signal LEDs should show green when a healthy level hits the preamps, proving the converters are active.

What cables and accessories come in the Volt 276 box, and what must I supply myself?

The box includes the interface and a USB-C cable for computer or iPad connection; you provide XLR or 1/4" TRS cables for mics and instruments, 1/4" TRS cables for monitor speakers, and standard 5-pin DIN cables for MIDI gear.

The name includes 76 and 1176 — which version of the compressor should I choose for vocal tracking?

The built-in 76 compressor is a single analog circuit modeled on the 1176; there are no selectable versions — engage the COMP button and adjust the single knob to add the classic fast-attack punch to vocals or instruments.
