The Korena take

Volt 2 is a compact 2-in/2-out USB-C interface for recording setups that move between home studios, rehearsal spaces, and mobile work. It provides two mic preamps, 24-bit/192kHz conversion, Vintage preamp mode, and direct monitoring for real-time signal monitoring while tracking. USB bus power keeps the physical setup simple across Mac, PC, iPad, and iPhone systems. MIDI In and Out accommodate controllers and synths, while the included software package extends the recording and production setup.
