Im enjoying it a lot though it’s a pain reclaiming the free stuff, great sound considering I paid £140 nice compressor, I love it

Great Sound but
Volt 176 it's a great audio interface - no doubt. It's a small, but powerful "box-of-joy" with amazing sounding "Vintage" mode and great 1176 real-time emulation. As far as the hardware is concerned, I have no objections. BUT if you have no internet connection or you internet provider blocks some ports/connections and UAConnect doesn't work properly, there is no "standalone" ASIO driver for download and your interface does not work also. Hardware it's a masterpiece, but "only on-line" driver installer it's a imprudence :( Five stars for the hardware, zero stars for the network driver installer... Now I'm able to use Volt 176 only on my secondary computer, the main unit cannot run UAConnect properly :( ( Don't copy a comment I like. I have exactly the same thought.)

очень хороший аудиоинтерфейс
одна из лучших звуковых карт в этом ценовом сегменте
плюсов много, минус только один это нет dsp процессора, а в остальном всё топ

Great product once I figured out the packaging
Nice interface that solved my problem of high frequency electronic interference in my old one. Love the styling, haven't yet experimented with the compressor. I'm no spring chicken but I do all right with the newfangled gadgetry ... but I was stumped when I opened the box. The interior is very cool - all-black cardboard and black packing foam, but I couldn't find a user manual that came with it. I also didn't see any cables included, so I spent 20 minutes searching in my garage for a USB-C cable. Found one and plugged it into the interface and my computer; then went online to try and download a user manual but it wouldn't let me log in to download one until I had registered my product, which the site said it would do automatically as soon as it was connected via USB. So I went around and around trying to figure out why it wasn't recognizing the device. Finally I went back to the box it came in and discovered the QR code printed on the inside of the lid! That took me back to the registration site, but it also let me know that cables WERE included ... in a smaller flat black box nestled into the floor of the bigger black box. It was literally invisible. I connected it with the included USB cable and it immediately recognized the device and registered it, and I've had zero problems with it working since then. (I guess the cable I found in my garage must have been for charging only and not data transfer.) So! Happy with the interface, love it so far, but man, it was frustrating for the user info and cables to be so hard to find. But I'm also old.

Best for me
The Volt176 is an easy-to-use, reliable USB interface, the compressor is phenomenal for this price range and the vintage mode is perfect for recording rap vocals. Absolute purchase recommendation, zero problems with installation and setup - that's how it should be. Thank you UA!

Low hiss
I had to use a Senn 416 mic and later a Neumann TLM 49 mic, both with no pre-amp but straight into the V176. I had to turn up the gain on the V 176 to around 95% to get a strong enough signal - and go no hiss or distortion!! Wonderful! Perfect! And why I got the Universal Audio interface!

Jolie design qui se démarque de tous, je la voyais beaucoup plus grosse en photos/vidéos mais elle assez petite et c'est tant mieux . J'ai eu aucune difficulté a l'installer (Windows 11). Malheureusement les plugins qui sont offert avec me sont d'aucune d'utilitée même Ableton live 11 lite ( nombres de pistes très limitées ). J'arrive a sortir du son de bonne qualité avec, pour être modeste , couplé a un rode NT1. Les préamplis sont des plus le bouton vintage est assez léger je trouve, et le 76 compressor génère un léger bruit de fond lors de son activation mais fait son travail . L'indicateur de gain est vraiment un plus qui m'a fait penché pour celle ci au lieu de la volt 1, les couleurs etc etc etc ... Totalement satisfait

This is silly
hardware and software are too complicated to use

AMAZING
I am absolutely blown away by the quality of this device. The compressor presets are perfectly usable and the “Vintage” mode is just perfect. The Volt 176 has shown us that the low-cost interface industry has been holding back big-time.

Excellent interface
Very happy with the hardware. Just a shame that I can't use any of the free plugins that came with it on GarageBand.

Home recording
I use it for bass , guitar and vocal recording for metal/rock band and it has taken our recordings to another level ! The compressor for vocal is outstanding! Everything sounds smooth and clear .

Best sound card I ever had
I now have a cleaner and more focused sound, and a great quality of recordings. The compressor and the vintage mode is doing 80% of the mix…. Not to talk about the price, it cost 3 times less than my old sound card and is 10 times better!

Mind-blowing quality
I’ve been an engineer for over 12 years and I would put this against the most expensive interfaces available on a blind sound test. I am absolutely blown away by the quality of this device. The compressor presets are perfectly usable and the “Vintage” mode is just perfect. The Volt 176 has shown us that the low-cost interface industry has been holding back big-time.

Just wow!
The quality is insane. And the price is low compared to the quality .
I really like the compressor on it. UAD always delivers.

Impressed!
I am impressed with all the Volt 176 has to offer for the price. UAD sound quality, nice compressor presets, beautiful design... I recommend it 100%.

No UAD Plugins.
The interface sound ok, but its limited to buy UAD plugins, its a shame that they force you to subscribe to Spark.
