Volt 4 Max Vocal Studio Set – Compressed, Quiet, Off the Desk

Vocals printed through Max compression, a 4 dBA condenser that also records over USB, the closed-back headphone most engineers start with and a silent boom arm. Speaker switching and talkback mean the interface is also your monitor controller.

In This Setup

• Universal Audio Volt 4 Max – 12-in/6-out USB-C interface with two Tone Shaping Preamps and Max Processing compression (1176, LA-2A and VCA presets), Main/Alt speaker switching, talkback, two headphone outputs, ADAT, MIDI and a USB hub; power supply included.
• Rode NT1 5th Gen – large-diaphragm condenser with 4 dBA self-noise and both XLR and USB-C outputs (32-bit float USB recording); SM6 shock mount with pop filter, 6 m XLR and 3 m USB-C cables in the box.
• Audio-Technica ATH-M50x – the closed-back studio standard: 45 mm drivers, 15 Hz-28 kHz, 90-degree swiveling earcups and three detachable cables.
• Rode PSA1+ – studio boom arm with damped internal springs and silent movement: 94 cm horizontal reach, 360-degree rotation, 1.2 kg load capacity and built-in cable management. In Black.

Why This Combination

• Compression on the way in: Max presets tame a vocal before it reaches the DAW.
• One mic, two paths: the NT1 runs into the Volt over XLR or straight to a laptop over USB-C.
• Silent placement: the PSA1+ moves without spring noise on a hot condenser.

Set price includes all four products.
