Cutting-edge 4-preamp USB Audio Interface with Built-in Analog Compression

The Universal Audio Volt 476P leverages UA’s renowned analog expertise to deliver a USB-C audio interface worthy of a decades-long legacy. The Volt 476P boasts topflight analog circuitry and class-leading 24-bit/192kHz AD/DA conversion, enabling you to create professional-sounding music productions, livestreams, and podcasts. This audio interface boasts four microphone preamplifiers with switchable 610-style analog sound and convenient input metering. The Volt 476P’s crown jewel, however, is its built-in 1176-derived FET compressor with three push-button application modes. Beyond that, six analog outputs and two headphone outputs make monitoring a snap, plus you get direct monitoring for zero-latency operation. You also get MIDI I/O for your synths and controllers. The Volt 476P vaunts a rugged, retro-inspired industrial design and comes with UA’s award-winning LUNA software and a generous cache of cutting-edge plug-ins and virtual instruments.

Armed with class-leading AD/DA conversion

The Universal Audio Volt 476P includes outstanding AD/DA conversion — a must-have feature for professional-sounding tracks. This optimized conversion circuitry delivers true 24-bit/192kHz performance, ensuring true-to-life detail and clarity with tons of dimensionality. The engineers here at Sweetwater have found that projects recorded via this USB-C audio interface are top shelf all the way. With the Volt 476P, you’ll be able to produce rock-solid, album-worthy tracks.

Infuses your tracks with 610-style analog sound

UA is renowned for their classic analog designs, and the Volt 476P reflects their decades of experience. This audio interface includes four analog mic preamplifiers that sound startlingly similar to Universal Audio’s classic 610 tube pre. The Vintage Preamp Mode employs expertly designed op-amps and solid-state electronics to deliver tubelike dynamic saturation and clipping, arming you with powerful, intuitive tone shaping for your microphones and line-level signals. Best of all, Vintage Preamp Mode is selectable, which enables you to use the Volt 476P with external preamps and channel strips with zero added coloration.

Includes a real-deal 1176-derived FET compressor

The UREI 1176 is legendary — a bona fide pro studio workhorse that can be used to add punch and presence to everything from drums to guitars to vocals. The Volt 476P includes a built-in FET compressor based on the classic 1176. But this isn’t a digital emulation; rather, it’s a real-deal analog compressor. The compressor includes three easy-to-use push-button modes for Vocals, Guitars, and Fast sources (the latter is tailor-made for drums), ensuring optimal settings for any source.

Includes a premium software bundle

The Volt 476P comes with a value-laden collection of pro-grade software, enabling you to start recording right out of the box. For starters, you get UA’s award-winning LUNA DAW software, allowing you to record, edit, and mix using the sound and workflow of an analog studio. The Volt 476P USB Recording Studio also includes a suite of UAD plug-ins and instruments, comprising classic Teletronix LA‑2A compressors and Pultec EQs plus new favorites, such as the PolyMAX Synth, Century Tube Channel Strip, and Oxide Tape Recorder. Thanks to this generous software bundle, you can create music using the same plug-ins and instruments that top industry pros rely on in your home studio. Moreover, you’ll be able to level up your recording and mixing skills with tips and tutorials geared toward beginners and advanced engineers alike.

What is Certified Open Box Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call "Certified Open Box" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

Certified Open Box (also known as a demo) means we’ve had it out of the box for our YouTube channel, displayed at events, tested in our studio, or maybe it was in a customer’s hands for a few days and isn’t ‘factory fresh’ as a result. Every Certified Open Box item we sell has Sweetwater’s 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty and has been tested and verified up to ‘new’ specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it’s in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Certified Open Box item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

Reviews

a welcome upgrade from the 276
The 276 served me wonderfully but, there were times I needed 2 mics for the acoustic plus one for voice or even adding an instrument input for a total of 4! That is where the 476P shines for me. I purchased from Adam Hunter a certified / previously owned, demo product. It is perfect.

Great Interface
I had the Apollo but ran into workflow issues using unison. Wanted something simple with good clear sound mainly for vocals and this more than does it. I am extremely pleased with this fine piece of equipment. The vintage and compressor buttons sound great and are fun to use. The UA plug ins they come with this are extremely useful and have taken my recording to the next level. It's the best looking interface on the market, it looks vintage. It's a plug and play no nonsense interface great for a singer songwriter.

Basketball Jones!
I love my UA Volt476P interface almost enough to sleep with it underneath my pillow at night... even though I haven't actually heard it in action yet. The UA Volt476 was my go-to studio interface, because of its sound using the vintage tube coloring and onboard compression for vocals and guitar. In my world everything I can do to 'condition' my vocal and guitar inputs to Ableton Live 11 Lite, means I can use those CPU resources for other purposes, such as pitch correction, equalization, doubling, side chain compression and effects. With a 2.9GHz laptop 16G RAM Intel I7 processor, Ableton still tends to freak out about CPU overload, so the jury is out as to what four inputs will do, but I will use the second vocal and guitar ins for TC Guitar Acoustic harmony/backup (vocal) and effects (guitar) to give me stomp box pedal options into my DAW sound. The TC box has selectable guitar effects associated with voice presets and it can filter out the lead vocal, leaving only backup and harmony (based on the guitar input key). Using Nembrini's doubler I can split and place the extra inputs, starting at a split frequency and field spatial position I choose, to really 'mix' things up... and if the CPU doesn't like it, I'll ren a second licensed copy of Ableton on my 1.9GHz laptop for MIDI tracks and parallel them into my Mackie Mix8.

Almost perfect
I ain't no audiophile, so this thing sounds good to me. It replaces an ancient firewire Focusrite Sapphire. I like the ability to loopback my guitar pedals via the in and outs. The only thing on my wishlist would be 0-10 numbers on the knobs. The free plugins are great and I encountered no problems downloading the drivers and setting up on Windows 11.
Traded down from Apollo Twin X

For years my Apollo has been driving me crazy. If i barely move it, the thunderbolt port disconnects, if i want to mix anything on the road, or in my house, forget about it Those plugins are LOCKED up til you power on. Console has become my OverLord. Seemed counterintuitive but this much cheaper, less complicated box is better for me and workflow i have. Using console is kinda like using an apple product - the longer you have it, the more you feel like you can't live without it. Turns out, simplification and just getting nice channel strips in the DAW is better for me. I wanted more inputs, but didn't want another apollo. This is great. My only critique would be the knobs feel cheap AF and it would be rad for future versions to have a knob for the 76 compressor on the box instead of button toggles with only 3 choices. I love this though. I've got MIDI finally on my interface again, yay. For 4 inputs this box is extremely compelling. The rack version looks sick too.
