JoeCo BLUEBOX Recorder and Audio Interface Now Shipping

Following the September launch of its BLUEBOX Workstation Interface Recorders, British company JoeCo has announced the release of a dedicated driver for all recent versions of Windows. Covering Windows 7, 8 and 10, the driver is suitable for the entire BLUEBOX range. Designed to raise the standard of DAW-based recording set-ups, while ensuring that no work is ever lost thanks its unique back-up facility, BLUEBOX is now shipping to all markets.

Set to raise the standard of DAW-based recording set-ups, the BLUEBOX range of Workstation Interface Recorders is officially launching from JoeCo at IBC 2016. The new range combines a superior multi-channel USB 2.0 DAW interface with high quality preamps on every channel, with the reliability of JoeCo’s range of 24-bit/96kHz Blackbox Recorders, used as on-board backup recording, or as a stand-alone, live, multi-channel audio acquisition recorder connected to a DAW for live mixdown.

JoeCo released the new BlackBox BBR1MP Recorder, the latest addition to its award-winning BlackBox family of live multi-channel audio recorders and players. This 24-channel, stand-alone, live audio acquisition solution delivers all the standard BlackBox functionality, while featuring 24 high-quality in-house developed microphone preamps, operating at up to 24bit/96kHz, which are integrated into the recorder’s tiny 1U housing.
