Superb quality for its price range

I have Apollo twin and Focusrite 2i2, It sounded very close to the sound I get from the Apollo twin and at it's price range amazing! Really satisfied with it, Would recommend!!

Not for windows users

The device is gorgeous and well built, however, the issues start once you install the asio driver. Poorly written windows drivers cause crackles and pops during the output, distracting you from your mixes. Shame, because I was excited to use tue compression features. After some googling, I learned it’s a common issue for UA products and windows pcs. However, every trick the internet tells you to fix the crackling did not seem to work, so the volt has to go. Went for a focusrite scarlett instead and have 0 issues now.

Medium quality

I have used before Babyface pro fs , than i bought this interface. I don't like Volt's quality . I will buy babyface again. And when i use Auto tune in real time with babyface wasn't any problem. With Volt its ver high Latency.

Super sturdy and amazing sound!

Best paired with high impedance headphones (DT 770 pro 250s are a match made in heaven), it’s really a lot more powerful than it seems. Also better to plug it into wall! It’ll suck the life out of your laptop. Once you’ve got this sorted it’ll blow mind.
