Introducing Blackstar’s POLAR audio interface, designed specifically for anyone who records guitar.

Our market research shows that most people who use an audio interface to record music at home record guitar. We conducted extensive Human Centred Design (HCD) which identified three main challenges people experience when recording guitar directly through an interface: poor feel / response, difficulty setting input levels without clipping and hard to use. Our POLAR interfaces overcome all these challenges making them the ultimate solution for anyone who records guitar.

The only audio interface in the market with a FET input stage and “Enhance” feature that mimics the behaviour, characteristics, and electronics normally found on the input stage of a valve guitar amplifier. Plugging a guitar directly into a normal audio interface produces an anaemic signal with peaky transients, which makes playing through amp plugins sound like… a plugin, not an amp.
