Universal Audio Volt 476
An enthusiast-tier USB-C interface with 2 mic inputs, 4 outputs and phantom power, pairing two preamps with the analog 76-style compressor on the way in. It's a good fit for small studios tracking a couple of sources who want that compression baked into the signal path. As with the rest of the Volt range, there's no UAD plugin DSP.
