It has two FET based input channels armed with 81 inspired microphone preamps and +48V phantom power, and it is a 2-in and 4-out box.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe right building blocks\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe high headroom, FET based inputs offer impressively low noise, which is the foundation for a clean track. The 81 inspired preamps add a characterful flavour reminiscent of the legendary British consoles of yesteryear, so a plain source arrives with some personality already attached. Phantom power at +48V covers condenser microphones. Separate headphone and line level outputs mean you can run studio monitors and headphones at the same time instead of unplugging one to use the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Enhance switch\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree problems come up again and again for guitarists who record: a lack of amp like response, difficulty setting input levels without clipping, and dull sounding tracks. The per channel Enhance switch addresses all three. Engaging it safeguards against clipping to give a foolproof input setting, makes an instrument input behave more like a valve amplifier, and adds extra air and clarity when you are recording with a microphone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat comes with it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbleton Live Lite for recording and arranging.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelab LX480 Essentials reverb.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolar control software for the interface itself.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho it suits\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf your recording setup is a guitar, a microphone and a laptop, the Polar 2 covers it without asking you to learn a mixer first. Two inputs is enough for an amp mic plus a vocal, or a DI plus a mic on a cab, and the Enhance switch removes most of the reasons a first take gets thrown away.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blackstar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49101281820928,"sku":"POLAR-2","price":238.53,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/0871\/5776\/files\/blackstar-polar-2-01.jpg?v=1785439250","url":"https:\/\/musicshop.sg\/products\/blackstar-polar-2-2-channel-usb-audio-interface-for-guitar-recording","provider":"Musicshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
