General

The Blackstar Polar 2 FET audio interface sets you up with two high-headroom FET input channels. Flip the Enhance switch and enjoy warm, organic sound without any digital distortion whether you're recording vocals or instruments, which is also thanks to the ultra-low noise floor of -121dB.

Excellent Preamps

Featuring a Neve 1081-style microphone preamp and 48V phantom power, the Polar 2 ensures professional audio quality. This USB audio interface for singer-songwriters even includes a beefy bundle of software, including the St. James Plugin Suit, Ableton Live Lite and more, granting access to powerful audio recording and production tools.

For Portable and Non-Portable Use

Blackstar has finished the Polar 2 with instrument and line inputs, headphone outputs, monitor outputs and a USB 3.0 port, making the interface easy to integrate into a home studio or bring with you to lay down tracks elsewhere.
