Super interface audio pour enregistrer des microphones
FanOfClash 05.01.2022
Agréable à utiliser, peu encombrante, avec une belle qualité sonore, et un compresseur embarqué qui sonne bien, globalement, c'est une super interface.

Utilisée dans Logic Pro, le son est propre, le compresseur facile à enclencher, et j'adore la présence de boutons physiques pour tout régler, du compresseur au switch mono ou aux sources diffusée dans le casque.

Ce que j'aime le plus :
- retours visuels sur la coque (vu mètre par entrée et par sortie),
- 4 potards vintage, 12 boutons poussoir rétro-éclairés,
- la simplicité des pré-réglages du compresseur 76,
- la présence de l'interrupteur sur la face arrière.

Ce que j'aime le moins : l'absence de description des 3 pré-réglages du compresseur 476 (VOC = Vocal / GTR = Guitare, FAST =rapide).
Le manuel s'abstient de décrire techniquement le compresseur.
Sur le site web d'UA, j'ai trouvé que :
Ratio de compression = 6:1
VOC = Attaque à 2ms / retour (release) à 300ms
GTR = attaque à 1.5ms / retour à à 700ms
FAST = attaque à 30 microsecondes = 0,03ms / retour à 35ms
mais je n'ai pas trouvé le seuil (threshold) de déclenchement.

Le réglage Vintage est encore moins décrit : c'est un son type préampli à tube type UA 610....
Pour les gens comme moi qui n'ont jamais entendu ce préampli UA 610 comme moi, cette explication, c'est du flou.
L'interface audio est abordable, mais à ce prix on peut vouloir des données techniques, donc "le son du préampli à tube l'UA 610", c'est un peu court.

En dehors de cet agacement sur cette absence d'information technique, c'est quand même une très bonne interface, très agréable à utiliser, à la fois par la qualité sonore, par les contrôles sur la coque, par le fait que ça ne sature jamais.

A cool little device
Anton Kuznetsov 01.02.2022
Bought it as an audio-interface specifically for live shows.
It has 4 in/out ports, is small, fairly light, quite comfortable to carry around, and has that sleek UA design to it.
Functions and routing are easy to understand due to coloured lights in buttons - be advised however that it has no routing app, and all I/O changes must be done via the device itself (by pressing corresponding buttons). I had no problems with this fact, but some may find this troublesome.

Built-in vintage compressor and amp presets are also a cool feature.
Would recommend.

Almost perfect!
JuanTune_in 09.03.2022
First of all I love this interface! Beautiful pre amps, amazing sound, easy to use. Just great. But the only issue I had was that there were minor scratches and one of them chipped the paint on one of the letters so it was kinda of annoying because I bought it new.

Probably the best AI in this price range
JavierGermany 10.11.2022
The building quality is outstanding, feels robust and the knobs are sturdy. The vintage button adds depth and a different feel. The possibilty to have a built-in compressor is a great feature, also for live monitoring. Having midi and 2 additional input lines adds flexibility. Easy to work around. I took one star off on features because you can´t use UAD Luna with this device, and because redeeming all the including software /plug-ins is really annoying --one needs to create multiple accounts--, and not all the plug-ins work in, e.g. Logic Pro. Also, I noticed the device slightly overheating when using only the USB cable for powering. I recommend using the AC even when the cable alone will power it. Other than that, this is an amazing little device.

Marvel to behold
skywardabyss 28.06.2022
The Volt 476 as an audio interface works perfectly for my needs. I only need to pass through audio from my headphones, keyboard, and MIDI controller. This does it well and looks so stunning doing it.

Five stars to Thomann for their excellent service. Only took four days to get from the EU warehouse to the US.

Also note, Volt includes adapters for US outlets.

Good unit for home recording
erdemu 06.02.2024
I really like the UA brand and their products. When I needed an interface, I went to their offerings. My situation includes guitar and synths. For both of those cases, I can say the unit performs very well.

This is beautiful gear, used mine for a week now in my new studio, and wow, its value is above the money. Been liking the fact that I didn't have to acquire an extra gadget for my 4 studio monitors, just plug them all. I might have been the first to have one in Kenya though 😀, Thanks Thomann for the flawless shipping.

Sound quality is so nice
Erdinc 7 04.12.2022
Being a user for many years, I switched from Fasttrack Pro to this after some research and quite happy with the result now. Mainly using for guitar recording and it is big jump on the sonic quality. Headphone output is amazing. I was using Akg but was not aware before that it can perform at these levels.
Using in windows at to install drivers & softwares were very smooth.

One missing item is that the loopback feature. I wish that it was included.

Best home card out there.
Mark greenberg 24.04.2023
Best one. Especially with this hardware monitoring i get 0 latency and easily use this card for backing tracks. I should have gotten one with more outputs and probably will. But I won't sell this one. Very good build, sound excellent and I got some cool plugins as well. Best buy! Maybe iconectivity is a bit better but I got this one because of ease of use.
