A product becomes B-stock when it can no longer be sold as new. It can simply be a product that has been returned by a customer or it may have packaging that is damaged or missing.

General

The Blackstar POLAR-4 audio interface has been designed for guitarists who want nothing short of amazingly realistic amp sound which, here, is made possible by a FET input channel and a special Enhance feature that mimics the feel of a real valve amp. This not only ensures that amp plug-ins sound as authentic as possible, but does away with the need for extra hardware, allowing you to keep your recording set-up simple yet powerful.

Superior Sound Quality and Foolproof Settings

Thanks to 24V headroom and high-quality microphone preamps based on the legendary Neve 1081 console/EQ, the POLAR-4 delivers bang-on sound without the risk of digital clipping. The Enhance mode for the MIC input injects extra clarity into your vocals and turns setting the input levels into child's play, making this interface foolproof for beginners.

Versatile and Professional Performance

The POLAR-4 combines user-friendliness with advanced perks like MIDI, dual headphone jacks and a low noise level. It's essentially the ideal interface for professionals as well as bedroom guitarists that are looking to capture their creativity.

Bax Music Warranty This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

Blackstar POLAR-4 FET 4-Channel USB-C Audio Interface

Zo af en toe is een aankoop geen stap vooruit maar vele sprongen vooruit. De Polar 4 is zo'n aankoop. Ik was al zeer positief over de audio interface die ik hiervoor had, de Audient MK2 (thunderbolt, daarna USB-C); goede dynamiek en prima geluid. De P4 voegt nog meer dynamiek toe en veel meer detail in het geluid. Daar moet bij gezegd worden dat ik een hoog impendatie koptelefoon gebruik, welke veel meer detail laat horen dan laag imp. 2 koptelefoon poorten die apart in te stellen zijn; volume en "cue". Ook mijn monitors laten nu een veel breder klank spectrum horen. Versterker simulatie software zoals Amplitube 5 en Revalver 5 klinken realistischer door de enhance functie; meer headroom en betere response. De virtuele poorten zijn praktisch. De gratis bijgeleverde St James versterkers klinken top. Aanrader!
