Overview

Polar 2 is a 2-channel USB audio interface designed by guitarists for recording guitar. Its high-headroom FET inputs handle guitars, pedals, line sources and microphones, with +48V phantom power for condenser mics.

The 'Enhance' switch adds the warmth of a classic guitar amp front end and stops digital clipping on instrument inputs, and adds clarity to vocals and acoustic guitar. You also get a high-output headphone amp, balanced monitor outputs and a software bundle including the St. James plugin suite.
