It features 2 FET instrument, line, and mic input channels, a headphone amplifier, +48V phantom power for condenser microphones, balanced outputs for professional monitoring, visual level meters, and Blackstar's unique 'Enhance' switch. \u003cbr\u003eEngaging the 'Enhance' switch activates unique electronics in the signal path that replicate the input stage of tube guitar amplifiers. \u003cbr\u003eThis circuit mimics the behavior and characteristics of tube amplifiers, enhancing the sound, feel, and response. \u003cbr\u003eWhen the POLAR 'Enhance' feature is activated, Blackstar's innovative input stage never suffers 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 control the interface like the preamp gain of a real amplifier. \u003cbr\u003eFeatures\u003cbr\u003e2-channel audio interface designed for guitar recording.\u003cbr\u003eFET input stage improves sound and signal quality and is suitable for a wide range of instruments, effect pedals, and microphones. \u003cbr\u003eThe 'Enhance' feature introduces electronics into the signal path that replicate the sound of a guitar amplifier. \u003cbr\u003eThe 'Enhance' feature completely avoids digital clipping on instrument inputs. Use this interface as if it were a real amplifier and don't worry about setting the right levels.\u003cbr\u003eThe 'Enhance' feature on microphone or line inputs provides natural clarity and airiness to vocal and acoustic guitar recordings. \u003cbr\u003eEnhance eliminates the need for additional hardware and an expensive DI to capture a high-quality guitar signal. All integrated into POLAR. \u003cbr\u003eIncludes ST.James Suite, Ableton Live Lite, ReLab LX480 Essentials Reverb, Melodyne Essential, and more*. \u003cbr\u003eHeadphone and monitor outputs, with independent control for monitors and headphones. \u003cbr\u003eMicrophone preamp based on the most famous vintage studio preamps. \u003cbr\u003eIncludes 'POLAR Control' software for level, panning, and monitor routing control. \u003cbr\u003eWorks with USB 3.0 bus power, with a +48 V switch for microphones requiring phantom power.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpecifications:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOverview:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNumber of mic preamps
