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\u003eWhat does Auto-Gain do on Volt 2 Gen 2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAssistive Auto-Gain listens to your source and sets the preamp gain for you in seconds, and Clip Protection catches unexpected peaks so a loud moment does not ruin the take. Both are controlled from the front panel, UAD Console or LUNA.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes Volt 2 Gen 2 need a power supply?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. Volt 2 is USB bus powered from your computer or device. There is a separate USB-C external power input if you need it, which requires 5VDC at 1A minimum. Bus power requirements vary by device.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I record two microphones at the same time?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Volt 2 has two mic \/ line inputs with independent switchable 48V phantom power, plus two front-panel Hi-Z instrument inputs, so you can track two mics, two instruments or one of each.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat software comes with Volt 2 Gen 2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe UAD Volt Studio Bundle, including the LUNA digital audio workstation, Teletronix LA-2A, UA 1176, UA 610 preamp and EQ collection, Century Tube Channel Strip, Pure Plate Reverb, Galaxy Tape Echo, Oxide, Vibe Analog Machines, PolyMAX and Anthem synths, plus Lion '68 and Showtime '64 amps.
