Universal Audio Volt 4P Max

The Universal Audio Volt 4P Max is the ultimate 12-in / 6-out desktop USB audio interface built for producers, bands, and tracking engineers requiring multiple microphone preamps without compromising on analog tone or control room features. Driven by 32-bit / 192 kHz converters, four Tone Shaping Preamps, onboard Max dynamics processing, and expanded digital I/O, it effortlessly bridges classic big-studio warmth with desktop mobility across Mac, Windows, and iOS setups. Key Benefits Four Analog Tone Shaping Preamps: Inject rich, analog harmonic depth into multi-mic setups with three switchable modes: Warmth, Focus, and Shine. Max Real-Time Compression: Record vocals, acoustic instruments, electric guitars, and drums with six push-button dynamics presets inspired by 1176 and LA-2A studio compressors. Pristine 32-Bit Conversion: Hear and capture every detail of your group performances with best-in-class 32-bit / 192 kHz audio conversion. Multi-Channel I/O & ADAT Expansion: Track full bands using four mic inputs, connect hardware synths via MIDI, and add up to 8 extra channels using the optical ADAT connection. Control Room Features: Audition mixes across two pairs of studio monitors via A/B speaker switching, and direct sessions easily with the built-in Talkback microphone. Full-Color Smart Display: Gain immediate, clear visual metering over your gain reduction, input levels, and system settings across all channels. Auto-Gain & Clip Protection: Automatically set perfect gain levels across multiple inputs in seconds and shield your takes from unexpected digital overload. Complete Software Bundle: Includes over 15 industry-standard UAD plug-ins and virtual instruments plus Universal Audio's LUNA Digital Audio Workstation. Big-Studio Tone for the Whole Band Capturing multi-mic tracking sessions at home can often result in flat, uninspired takes. Volt 4P Max solves this right at the input stage by putting 18 distinct analog combinations across all four microphone channels. By combining four harmonic preamp modes (Warmth, Focus, and Shine) with six Max compression presets tailored for vocals, acoustic guitars, bass, and drums, you can effortlessly print punchy, radio-ready tracks without CPU latency or complex DAW plug-in routing. Advanced Studio Control & Multi-User Monitoring Manage live recording sessions with professional control room tools built directly into the top panel. Volt 4P Max features A/B speaker switching to quickly compare your mix on different monitor sets, while two independent high-power headphone outputs ensure both the engineer and performer get crystal-clear cue mixes. The integrated Talkback microphone allows seamless communication between the control room and talent. Uncompromised Scalability and Routing Volt 4P Max is built so your hardware never limits your creative ambition. Beyond its four combination XLR/TRS inputs and dedicated Hi-Z instrument jacks, the optical ADAT input allows you to connect an eight-channel mic preamp to record full drum kits or large ensembles. Integrated 5-pin MIDI connectors and a built-in USB hub make connecting external synthesizers, controllers, and peripherals fast and simple. Complete Production Ecosystem Every Volt 4P Max comes bundled with a curated suite of world-class UAD plug-ins, giving you instant access to classic EQs, legendary compressors, guitar amplifiers, and virtual instruments used on hit records worldwide.
