Vibe-rich tube-emulation circuitry, a built-in analog 1176-style compressor, pristine pro-grade conversion, and an impressive bundle of music production software make the Universal Audio Volt 176 portable 1x2 audio interface a top-notch yet affordable win for quality-conscious vocalists, musicians, and even content creators such as podcasters and livestreamers. Attractive, sturdy, and compact, this bus-powered USB Type-C interface is equally capable in a computer-based home studio or on the go with your iPad or iPhone.

Plug a mic, guitar, or synth into the Volt 176's mic preamp and press the Vintage switch to impart the pleasing character of an emulated UA vintage 610 tube preamp to your voice or instrument. Keep peaks under control while adding punch with three selectable presets of 1176-like analog compression. Direct monitoring lets you hear yourself with no distracting latency, and there are separate volume controls for the speaker and headphone outputs. Got a beat machine or keyboard controller? Connect them to the MIDI 5-pin ports on the rear panel to easily integrate them with your setup. Knowing the value of good tools, Universal Audio bundled the Volt 176 with versatile and creativity-inspiring software tailored for music makers. From the popular Ableton Live Lite DAW and UJAM virtual instruments to guitar/bass amp simulations, Melodyne pitch correction, and high-end processors for mixing and mastering, there's a bit of everything to help you transform ideas into polished productions.

Best-In-Class Sound for Yourself

From the team that brought you the game-changing Apollo interface, Volt 176 delivers superior studio sound quality with character and tone far beyond its class.

Classic Vocal Tone

Few sounds can compare to a vintage Universal Audio 610 tube preamp, as used to record everyone from Ray Charles to Van Halen. Volt 176 gives you the rich, full sound of this classic UA mic/line/instrument preamp, thanks to its built-in tube emulation circuitry, a UA exclusive.

Control Volume Peaks with UA Compression

Get album-ready punch and presence with Volt 176's onboard 76 Compressor, an innovative analog circuit inspired by UA's classic 1176 Limiting Amplifier. The 76 Compressor features three perfectly tailored presets to tame voice, guitars, synths, and drum machines. Just plug in, pick a setting, and play.

Inspiring Software

Some audio interfaces give you a smattering of random audio apps. Not Volt. Instead, UA put together a bundle of serious music production tools, virtual instruments, and plug-ins including Ableton, Melodyne, UJAM’s Virtual Drummer, Marshall, Ampeg, and more.

Great sturdy shelf, install can be a bit challenging
Style: 3 Tier with Tower Bar, Style: 3 Tier with Tower Bar
The shelf is great and does exactly what I wanted it to do. I will note that the instructions indicate you’re supposed to use a 6 mm drillbit to install the anchors which comes out to about a 15/64 size. I would recommend a quarter inch drillbit because I was really struggling to get those anchors in there. Several folks also said that it’s easiest to install with two people, but you don’t need two people if you have some way to prop the piece up while you’re marking the hole placements to drill (and I would definitely recommend having a level on it the entire time you’re working to make sure that it’s correct). Lastly, it is easiest to put it together first, and then mark the drill holes, put the piece aside and drill and install the anchors, and then screw it in. I will also caution folks to not overtighten the pipe connections, because the pipes will end up in a wonky direction in the end. Overall I am extremely happy with this piece and certainly for the price!!

Easy to put together. Super cute in any room
Style: 3 Tier
I fell in love with these when we were at our kids home and we installed them for them. The way my daughter-in-law decorated them, I loved it. I ordered 3 of them. I ordered a two tier for my office, because the 3 tier was too big, and i have the 3 tier in my bathroom. They look so dang cute and finishes up the wall in those areas. They are sturdy and strong. Super easy to put together. No tools required, except when you need to hang them. It will require two people to hang them. You can put them together in less than 5 minutes. Not super heavy but strong. strong to hold several things on them. I had no parts missing. Everything came packaged very nicely. Very functional. I would definitely recommend.

Shelf
Style: 2-tier Vintage Industrial
I’m giving a 4 star due to installation. Screws were too small for the anchors. Shelf is very nice and looks great . Took little more time than what should have been an easy hang .
