POLAR 4 is a 4-channel USB audio interface built by guitarists and designed for guitarists.
It has 4 FET input channels for instruments, line and microphone, a headphone amplifier, +48V phantom power for condenser microphones, balanced outputs for professional monitoring, visual level meters and Blackstar's unique 'Enhance' switch. Activating the 'Enhance' switch activates an exclusive electronics in the signal path that replicates the input stage of guitar tube amplifiers.
This circuit mimics the behavior and characteristics of tube amplifiers, improving tone, touch, feel, and response. With POLAR 'Enhance' enabled, the innovative Blackstar input stage will never suffer from digital clipping: no more messy recordings, no more hassle and no more confusion when it comes to setting the 'right' levels.
POLAR allows the musician to manage the interface like the gain of a real amplifier's preamp.
Features: 4-channel audio interface designed for recording guitars.
FET input stage that improves tone and signal quality and adapts to a wide range of instrument types, effects pedals, and microphones.
The 'Enhance' function introduces electronics into the signal path that replicates the sound of a guitar amplifier. 'Enhance' completely avoids digital clipping on instrument inputs. Use this interface as if it were a real amplifier and get rid of the hassle of setting the 'right' levels.
The 'Enhance' function on the microphone or line inputs gives natural clarity and brightness to vocal and acoustic guitar recordings. The 'Enhance' function eliminates the need for additional hardware and expensive DIs to acquire a high-quality guitar signal. It's all built into POLAR. It includes St.James Suite, Ableton Live Lite, ReLab LX480 Essentials Reverb, Melodyne Essential, and more*.
Polar 4 has two headphone outputs and a monitor output, with independent monitor and headphone control.
Microphone preamplifier based on the most famous vintage studio preamps.
It includes the 'POLAR Control' software for fine adjustment of monitor levels, panning and routing. It works with USB 3.0 bus power, with a +48 V switch for microphones that require phantom power.
