Whether you're recording a live concert, a broadcast event, or working on film and TV sound production, the BlackBox BBR64 stands out with its high-quality audio capture and professional-grade features.
The BlackBox BBR64 is not only versatile in its recording capabilities but also in its connectivity options, thanks to the integrated Dante Ethernet I/O.

Recording audio is straightforward and secure with the BlackBox BBR64.

The universally accepted file and disk formats facilitate quick and easy transfer to any Mac or PC-based Digital Audio Workstation for further editing and processing.
Designed with user-friendliness in mind, the BlackBox BBR64 requires minimal setup - simply connect your inputs and outputs, power up, insert a USB drive, and hit the RECORD button. The full-color LCD screen and clear LED displays provide all the necessary information at a glance, ensuring you're always in control of your recording session.
For added convenience, the recorder can be remotely controlled and monitored via JoeCoRemote for iPad, and recordings can be named using either the app or a standard computer keyboard. The unit's fail-safe features, including file recovery in the event of a power failure, offer peace of mind that your recordings are protected.
The BlackBox BBR64 also doubles as a BlackBox Player with an additional software add-on, providing synchronous or instant playback capabilities for a variety of applications. Whether you're capturing the energy of a live audience or the subtleties of studio performances, the BlackBox BBR64's additional analogue inputs and Dante network recording make it an unparalleled choice for capturing the full spectrum of audio.
