The Universal Audio Volt 1 is a USB audio interface for recording, podcasting and streaming, listed at £107.00 and ranked tenth in this guide. Its Amazon spec table is the most self-consistent of the sample-rate claims in this round-up: Frequency Response reads 192000 Hz and Maximum Sample Rate reads 192 KHz — the same figure in two units — where the Focusrite Scarlett Solo and the Behringer UMC404HD both print 96 KHz next to a 192 KHz maximum. The mismatch on the Volt 1 sits in the name instead. The product is a Volt 1, but the same table declares Number of Channels: 2, and nothing in the listing says whether that second channel is a second input or an output.

The rest of the listing is plain enough: 4.5 out of 5 from 713 ratings, a 2 year manufacturer warranty, a weight of 544 g, dimensions of 13 x 14.5 x 5 cm, USB connectivity, and support for Windows, macOS, iPadOS and iOS. Two details a buyer should not skip. First, one bullet states this is an international product sold from abroad with separate terms and possible differences in labelling, and Country of Origin is given as China. Second, the rating histogram runs 79 / 10 / 4 / 2 / 5 from five stars down to one, and those five numbers total 100 — they are percentages, not review counts. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing, not from our own testing.
