A two-channel USB-C interface that pairs two combo XLR/TRS inputs with a built-in 1176-style FET compressor and 24-bit/192kHz conversion. The USB-C connection is bus-powered and class-compliant with Mac, PC, iPad, and iPhone. Two balanced 1/4-inch monitor outputs and a 1/4-inch headphone jack cover monitoring, and 5-pin DIN MIDI In and Out connect external instruments and controllers.

Notes & Compatibility
Two-channel bus-powered interface, 24-bit/192kHz, with a built-in 1176-style FET compressor (three modes) and a Vintage preamp mode modeled on UA’s 610 tube preamp. The two combo inputs are on the front, with 48V phantom and a Hi-Z instrument switch. The USB-C socket runs at USB 2.0 and the box ships with a USB-C to USB-A cable, so a USB-C-only laptop needs a USB-C to USB-C lead; any basic USB 2.0 C-to-C cable is enough. A rear 5V DC barrel inlet (not modeled as a port) covers ports or hubs that cannot supply enough bus power, which UA says may be needed with an iPhone or iPad. The 1/4-inch monitor outputs take balanced TRS cables, or TS for unbalanced speakers. The headphone output is 1/4-inch TRS, so 3.5mm headphones need an adapter. Confirmed via official UA Volt Specifications: 5-pin DIN MIDI In/Out present.
