{"product_id":"universal-audio-ua-volt176","title":"Universal Audio Volt 176 1-in\/2-out USB Audio Interface","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Universal Audio Volt 176 is a 1-in\/2-out USB audio interface with an analog compressor built in. Its single combo input takes a microphone, a line source or an instrument and offers two analog circuits: Vintage preamp mode, inspired by UA's 610 tube preamp, and the 76 Compressor, based on UA's 1176 Limiting Amplifier. It suits a singer, guitarist or podcaster recording one source at a time, with 24-bit\/192 kHz conversion and USB bus power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e76 Compressor\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 76 Compressor has three presets, each at a 6:1 ratio. VOC uses the slowest attack with a slow release for smooth vocal compression. GTR pairs a medium attack with a very slow release, which lets guitar and bass transients through and lengthens sustain. FAST has the fastest attack and a fast release for aggressive compression, and all three work on mic, line and instrument sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMonitoring, MIDI and Software\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDirect monitoring sends the input to the headphone and monitor outputs with no software delay.
