Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
The bluebox is a seriously clever little unit. It’s perfect for the gigging musician or producer who needs a compact, all-in-one mixer, recorder, and interface. It’s not going to replace a full-sized studio console, but for its size and capabilities, it’s a remarkably powerful tool.
