The Blackstar Polar 4 was built the other way round, tailor made for guitar players to make the recording process easier, with four FET based input channels armed with 81 inspired microphone preamps and +48V phantom power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Enhance switch\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree problems come up again and again when a guitarist records: the track lacks amp like response, setting an input level without clipping is fiddly, and the result sounds dull. The per channel Enhance switch takes all three out of the equation. Engaging it safeguards against clipping to give a foolproof input setting, makes the input behave more like a tube amplifier when recording instruments, and adds extra air and clarity when recording with a microphone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInputs and preamps\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe high headroom FET based inputs offer impressively low noise, and the 81 inspired preamps carry a characterful flavour reminiscent of the legendary British consoles of years past. Phantom power is on board for condenser microphones, so the same four channels cover amps, DI'd instruments and mics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMonitoring\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo headphone outputs and four line level outputs make studio quality monitoring straightforward. You can run studio monitors while two other people listen individually, which is what makes tracking a pair of musicians at once practical.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSoftware in the box\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Polar 4 comes with a bundle of Ableton Live Lite, Relab LX480 Essentials and the Polar control software, so there is a recording environment and a reverb waiting the day it arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blackstar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49101283721472,"sku":"POLAR-4","price":371.56,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/0871\/5776\/files\/blackstar-polar-4-01.jpg?v=1785439334","url":"https:\/\/musicshop.sg\/products\/blackstar-polar-4-4-in-8-out-audio-interface-for-guitar-with-st-james-plug-in","provider":"Musicshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
