Compare Universal Audio VOLT 176 and Volt 1
Audio interfaces Universal Audio VOLT 176 and Volt 1 have similar features, such as USB 2.0 type C connectivity and a frequency range of 20 – 20000 Hz. However, VOLT 176 stands out with the inclusion of a built-in analog FET compressor based on the UA 1176 and a Vintage Preamp mode, making it more suitable for professional recording. While Volt 1 also offers the Vintage Preamp mode, it lacks the compressor, which may be a deciding factor for users looking for more sound processing capabilities. Both devices support ASIO and have similar dimensions, but VOLT 176 is slightly heavier and larger in size.
