The modern company builds the Apollo interfaces, UAD plug-ins and the LUNA digital audio workstation. Volt takes the preamp voicings and dynamics algorithms from that catalog and puts them in a bus powered box that fits beside a laptop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes Volt 1 Gen 2 need a power supply?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. Volt 1 is USB bus powered from your computer or device.
