Professional Recording with Full Control Over Sound The Universal Audio Volt 4P Max is a USB audio interface that provides musicians and producers with a comprehensive tool for working in home and professional studios. The device offers four microphone preamps with advanced tone shaping, allowing you to choose between three sonic characteristics: Warmth (tube warmth), Focus (transistor precision), and Shine (classic British Class-A character). This allows users to tailor the recording tone to a specific sound source even before registration. The signal processing system includes six Max Compression presets, specifically designed for vocals, guitar, and bass. By combining Tone Shaping modes with compression presets, you get over 18 unique combinations of sound source shaping, providing immense creative possibilities right from the recording stage. Full 32-bit audio with support for sample rates up to 192 kHz allows you to preserve every detail of the recording, whether you are working on delicate vocals or dynamic drums. The frequency response is from 20 Hz to 20 kHz with an accuracy of ±0.08 dB, and the dynamic range reaches 116 dB (A-weighted), guaranteeing clean and detailed sound at every stage of production. Expanded inputs and outputs make the Volt 4P Max ready for recording an entire band simultaneously — instruments, drums, and vocals. The ADAT input allows adding more channels, while the MIDI port enables connecting synthesizers, controllers, and external gear. Two monitor outputs (main and alternate) with speaker switching and two independent headphone outputs ensure comfortable work during both solo sessions and group recordings. The smart color display presents levels and settings in an intuitive and readable manner. The Auto-Gain function automatically sets optimal recording levels, eliminating the need for manual tuning, while Clip Protection protects the signal from unwanted digital clipping in situations of unexpected amplitude spikes. The built-in talkback microphone facilitates communication during recording sessions, and the loopback function is useful for podcasts and live streams.
