Expert Audio Engineering Commentary

Gain staging

The Volt 476 without the 76 compressor, and with the same 55 dB / -127 dBu preamp as every other Volt. Four in, four out, and no more gain than the Volt 1.

Production Warning

Universal Audio specifies 6.2 W maximum draw and ships a second USB-A to DC barrel cable for it. A single USB 2.0 port is required to supply 2.5 W: plan on the auxiliary cable, not on luck.
