Why Choose the Universal Audio Volt 2 Max?
1. Tone Shaping & Max Processing (18 Unique Sound Combinations)
Shape your sound right during recording without noticeable latency or complicated software settings. The Volt 2 Max combines two analog tone-shaping functions on each channel:
- 3 Tone Shaping Modes: Choose Warmth (rich UA 610 tube sound), Focus (tight solid-state brightening), or Shine (open, airy British Class-A high-end).
- Max Processing Presets: Integrated analog dynamics processing with 6 custom presets for vocals, guitar, and bass (such as Rap Vocal, Album Vocal, Electric Guitar, and Jangly Acoustic), based on legendary 1176, LA-2A, and VCA compressors.
2. Superior 32-Bit / 192 kHz Audio Conversion
With a dynamic range of 119 dB on the inputs and an impressive 126 dB on the monitor outputs, you can capture every musical performance with exceptional depth and precision. From the subtlest acoustic details to the most powerful vocals: your recordings remain completely noise-free.
3. Expandable to 10 Inputs via ADAT / S/PDIF
Do you need more inputs for drum kit recordings, synthesizers, or a full band? Thanks to the optical ADAT / S/PDIF input, you can effortlessly expand the number of recording channels by up to 8 additional digital channels. This way, the Volt 2 Max seamlessly grows with your studio.
4. Smart Display, Auto-Gain & Clip Protection
- Full-Color Smart Display: Get clear visual feedback on all your input levels, settings, and the compressor’s real-time gain reduction.
- Auto-Gain: Automatically determine the ideal recording level for your voice or instrument in just a few seconds.
- Clip Protection: Prevent ruined takes caused by unexpected loud peaks. The hardware automatically intervenes to prevent digital distortion.
