[ATTACH=JSON]205038.vB5-nodeid=205038[/ATTACH] Cambridge, UK – January 2017… Designed to slot effortlessly into every studio no matter how big or small, JoeCo’s BBWR24B has joined the BLUEBOX range of Workstation Interface Recorders as the most affordable BLUEBOX yet. More than just a high quality interface, the 24 channel BBWR24B is also a trusted, professional multi-track field recorder and a unique back-up solution that ensures no source recordings are ever lost. Only BLUEBOX delivers all three core functions in one 19-inch rack-mounted unit.
Offering 24 balanced line inputs, 16 Adat Lightpipe inputs with SMUXII support for higher sample rates and 24 balanced outs, the BBWR24B will back-up all of your source recordings, all of the time, providing the ultimate safeguard against unexpected DAW freeze and failure. Each BBWR24B can carry up to 24 channels of 24bit/96kHz audio in both directions simultaneously over USB 2.0. All local recordings are professional standard broadcast WAV files (BWF) on universally accepted FAT32 disk format. The USB 2.0 host interface supports both Windows (via dedicated drivers) and Mac (via Core Audio) with a locally generated zero latency monitor mix for monitoring during overdubs.
While the BBWR24B offers front panel access to core controls, users can access a wealth of control and customisation using the JoeCoControl app for Windows or Mac.
In addition to the launch of the affordable BBWR24B, a substantial upgrade to the JoeCoControl app will also make its debut at The NAMM Show, bringing new added-value features across the entire BLUEBOX range.
Available for free from the JoeCo website, JoeCoControl now boasts an unparalleled suite of functions, including:
