The Universal Audio Volt 876 is a 24-in/28-out rackmount USB-C audio interface known for its analog tone and professional features. It features eight Vintage preamps with tube emulation and eight 76-style FET compressors, drawing inspiration from classic UA studio gear.
The Volt 876 is an audio interface only and is not sold as a "Studio Pack" like some of its smaller counterparts (e.g., the Volt 276 Studio Pack).
