BLUEBOX protects against freeze and failure in DAW-based recording set-ups with a critical back-up facility that ensures no work is ever lost, even in the event of a power failure. Delivering up to 24 channels of individually switchable mic/line inputs with best-in-class preamps on every channel, BLUEBOX also offers all of the plaudit-winning features of the BlackBox Recorder for fully stand-alone, high-end multi-track audio recording in the field.
Two BLUEBOX Workstation Interface Recorders are available at launch in the shape of the BBWR24MP and BBWR08MP. Both 24-bit/96kHz models have been designed and constructed to the same exacting standards as the company’s BlackBox range, with its reputation for rock solid reliability. As the names imply, the BBWR24MP provides 24 channels of individually switchable mic/line inputs, while the BBWR08MP represents JoeCo’s most affordable package yet with 8 channels of individually switchable mic/line inputs and 16 channels of dedicated balanced line inputs. All mic channels on both units incorporate JoeCo’s high-quality mic preamp designs.
Adaptability is central to the appeal of BLUEBOX. In a studio environment, a BBWR24MP will deliver 24 channels of pristine audio at 24-bit/96kHz both to and from a workstation, with near-zero latency and simultaneously back up of all audio at the same quality. In the field, all of the mic preamps become available to deliver a fully stand-alone, multi-channel audio acquisition recorder with near-zero latency and 24-bit/96kHz performance.
For larger applications, multiple BBWR24MP can be connected to the same Mac (via Core Audio drivers) or Windows (via dedicated ASIO drivers) machine. It’s also possible to control any BLUEBOX model, either from the workstation itself with JoeCoControl software, or using the JoeCoRemote app for iPad. Both platforms open a wealth of features and functions such as the setting of individual mic pre channel parameters, expandable channel strips and real-time monitor mix adjustment.
“BLUEBOX is already off to a great start and this release of our dedicated Windows driver marks the completion of the first phase of the range’s roll-out,” commented JoeCo Managing Director, Joe Bull. “The response that BLUEBOX has already enjoyed shows that the market is hungry for a high-end interface that will protect work with an absolutely reliable back-up, as well as make it sound great.”
