Blackstar Polar 2 Channel USB-C Audio Interface

The Blackstar Polar 2 USB-C audio interface gives guitarists and vocalists an intuitive way to capture studio-quality recordings. Designed by musicians for musicians, this 2-channel interface features high-headroom FET inputs that provide a noise-free foundation for dialing in your tone. When you engage the Enhance switch, the Polar introduces circuitry that replicates the input stage of classic valve amplifiers, restoring the touch, feel and response of playing through a real amp. High-Headroom FET Inputs Deliver Clean Tone The Polar's FET instrument inputs provide ultralow noise and high headroom, giving you the purest signal path for shaping your guitar tone. When you engage Enhance, the interface introduces components that mimic the input stage of classic valve amps—including their nonlinear characteristics. This allows you to drive the inputs hard without digital clipping so you can set levels like you would with your amp's preamp section. Enhance Switch Adds Air and Clarity While recording vocals and acoustic guitars, engaging Enhance on the microphone inputs gently lifts the high end to provide just the right amount of detail and openness. The result is a crisp, natural sound that sits perfectly in your mix. Enhance also prevents clipping at high input levels, allowing you to capture dynamic performances without fussing over levels. Polar Control Software for Zero-Latency Monitoring The included Polar Control software lets you dial in zero-latency monitoring with the turn of a virtual knob. You can adjust input levels, stereo panning, send levels and more for your headphones and monitor outputs. This intuitive mixing interface empowers you to craft a monitoring environment tailored to your needs. Bundle of Must-Have Recording Software To get you recording right away, the Polar includes an essential suite of music production software. You'll receive the St. James Plugins Suite, Ableton Live Lite, Melodyne Essential pitch correction, Relab LX480 Essentials reverb and more. Between the high-quality components, smart monitoring capabilities and software bundle, the Polar 2 USB-C audio interface provides an all-in-one solution for capturing your musical inspiration whenever creativity strikes.
