Capture Legendary Sounds with Eight Vintage Mic Preamps

There’s a reason UA’s 610 tube mic preamp has been heard on records from Ray Charles to Van Halen to Adele — its warmth and presence are unmatched. Volt 876 gives you the same iconic preamp sound using selectable Vintage mode — UA’s exclusive tube emulation circuitry that gives your sessions the sound of a studio classic.

Get 1176-Style Compression Tuned for Voice, Guitars, and More 

Add album-ready punch and presence with Volt 876's eight onboard 76 Compressors — an innovative analog circuit inspired by UA's famous 1176 Limiting Amplifier. The 76 Compressor features presets to tame voice, guitars, synths, and drums (fast mode). So you can just plug in, pick a setting, and sound great. 

All the Connectivity You’ll Ever Need with 24 x 28 I/O

Volt 876 gives you 8 x 8 analog connections for mics, instruments, and studio gear, plus two front-panel mic / line inputs with switchable Hi-Z for easy D.I. recording. Need more?
ADAT I/O connections let you link up to three Volt 876s to create a 24-channel recording system, or expand Apollo and other ADAT-equipped studios.

Includes UAD Producer Suite — Premium Plug-Ins & Instruments

Volt 876 includes UAD Producer Suite, a premium collection of UAD plug-in titles — from Teletronix LA-2A and UA 1176 compressors to Pultec EQs, PolyMAX Synth, and the Showtime ’64 Guitar Amp — giving you the tones of classic studio gear and inspiring instruments right out of the box.

Use with LUNA for Analog Studio Sound and Smart AI-powered Tools
Volt 876 works with all major DAWs. But when you pair it with UA's LUNA DAW you get the incredible sound of an analog studio with powerful hardware-software integration, unlimited tracks, smart AI-powered tools — including "Hey Luna" Voice Control, Instrument Detection, and Tempo Listen — that make recording easier.

Save and Recall All Your Interface Settings
Using the UAD Console app or LUNA, Volt 876 gives you a host of time-saving features, including Assistive Auto-Gain that automatically sets your recording levels, and two low-latency cue mixes with talkback. Plus, you can save your 876's front-panel settings and cue mixes for instant session recall.
