Silent rehearsal studio lets you practice anytime, anywhere
Every band has the same problem: rehearsing is too loud for most locations and studio space is expensive. But with the JamHub TourBus silent rehearsal studio, you can play quietly enough for a bedroom, a dorm room, or an apartment late into the night. JamHub TourBus was created to allow you to play more, and the experience rocks! Each musician picks a color section on the JamHub and plugs in a mic/instrument and headphones. Then, each player sets his or her own individual, mix with their SoleMix controls. You'll hear yourself like never before, with new clarity and control. And no more volume wars. JamHub TourBus is the portable, affordable way to make more music.

Each player enjoys a personalized mix, just like on stage
Each SoleMix control section on the JamHub TourBus is like an individual studio. You get to create the mix that's right for you, while the other band members do the same. Each SoleMix control section allows you to tap the many stereo busses located within your JamHub, giving you an exceptional level of control over what each musician hears. Think of the JamHub TourBus's output controls as many mixers put together in one portable, affordable unit. Each person controls his or her own mix and creative space. Volume wars are over.

It's easy to make great-sounding rehearsal recordings
What's cool about the JamHub TourBus is that it's got a built-in SD recorder, so you're only a moment away from capturing your jams. It even comes with a 4GB SD card, so you're ready to capture every moment of long jam sessions — you can capture uncompressed audio for more than six hours! There's also a built-in metronome, so it's easy to snag demo-ready recordings... or to just drop your recorded files into your DAW later for refining. Of course, you can always connect JamHub TourBus to your computer via USB to record straight to your computer. Never miss another moment of inspiration!

JamHub TourBus Silent Rehearsal Studio Features:
  • 21 audio channels for up to 7 musicians
  • 7 individual sections each with a unique mix
  • The R section is designed for recording or connecting an MP3 player (or both)
  • Every band member creates their own mix
  • Two SoleMix Remotes with 12' cable included (TourBus can accommodate up to 4 remotes)
  • 1/R switch for switching from your mix in section 1, to the mix in section R for checking the recording mix quickly
  • Stage control for giving each player a virtual location in the studio
  • Built in 24-bit, stereo effects including reverbs, delays and modulation effects
  • Phantom power (+48V)

What Do Our In-house Gear Experts Think?
Let me be perfectly clear: The JamHub is not just another musical tool; it is a key ingredient for a more enjoyable quality of life. Bold statement? Yes it is; but for me (family activities aside), I find that jamming with talented friends to be the most exciting and soul satisfying thing I like to do on a night off. In the old days (pre-children) we'd all turn up our amps and PA just loud enough so that everyone could hear everything well enough to play. Within minutes each person would turn up "just a little bit more" so that they could hear their own voice and instrument best. Before long we'd all be loud, but it sounded pretty good. Today though, even the initial soft volume is "way too loud" for my house. Just when everybody's groovin', I'll get the inevitable, "Turn It Down!!" So I thought, "No problem, I own plenty of gear and I have a headphone amp; I'll just have everybody bring headphones and it'll be magic." But it *NEVER* worked. The unchanging truth is that every musician needs to hear themselves "just a little louder" than everyone else to play their best, and the single headphone mix made everyone unhappy. Plus, almost all the musicians were using stereo effects and my mixer just doesn't have 14 Aux Sends. The JamHub is a perfectly elegant solution to this universal problem. Each of the musicians now gets a TRS line-level stereo input, perfect for keyboards, guitar and bass processors, electronic drum kits and groove boxes, or even the headphone output of your iPod, iPad, or computer. Plus, they each get an XLR for their microphone (phantom power is available on the GreenRoom and TourBus). Now it's easy for each musician to balance the levels of all the other musicians. All the vocal mics have individual send amounts to a global vocal effect processor. It's amazing how much better everybody plays and sings when they're happy with their mix. The resulting music will be so good that you'll want to record it via the stereo recording out channel with its own mixer and TRS output (USB output is available on the GreenRoom and TourBus). The TourBus even adds an SD card recorder to archive every moment of the jam. (Connect it to powered speakers and you have a live show with stereo personal monitors!!!) Note to parents of teen musicians: Imagine a quiet Saturday afternoon at home without hearing the same three chords all day... priceless! And don't forget the optional SoleMix Remote mixing module that effectively lets you have your slice of the pizza 12' away from the JamHub. Headphone maker, Direct Sound, has partnered with the JamHub to create bundles (5-pack or 7-pack) of their EX-25 and EX-29 Extreme Isolation headphones that turn the JamHub into a pro-quality rehearsal facility. And finally, to those of you with lots of gear in your house who are thinking, "I'll bet I already have enough stuff to do all this," just consider that the whole JamHub can rest in your open hand and weighs 5 lbs. or less. And it's ready to go within a minute of everybody plugging in. More importantly, you don't have to tear up your studio trying to get this to work. From my heart I promise you: Just one jam session with out-of-town friends you rarely get to see will make you glad you own a JamHub.

As I enter my 50th year of life, I find myself thinking about what is important to me and, more specifically, what situations provide the most memorable fun and enjoyment. Family activities aside, I find that jamming with talented friends is the most exciting and soul-satisfying thing I like to do on a night off. In the old days (pre-children), we'd all turn up our amps just loud enough so that we could all hear ourselves well enough to play. Within minutes, each person would turn up "just a little bit more." Before long, we'd all be loud, but it sounded pretty good. Today, though, even the initial soft volume is way too loud for my house. Just when everybody's groovin', I'll get the inevitable, "Turn it down!" So I said to myself, "No problem. I own plenty of gear, and I have a headphone amp. I'll just have everybody bring headphones, and it'll be magic." But it never was. The unchanging truth is that musicians need to hear themselves "just a little louder" than everyone else in order to play their best, and the single headphone mix made everyone unhappy. Plus, almost all the musicians were using stereo effects, and my mixer just doesn't have 14 sends. Enter the JamHub. There are three models to choose from: the BedRoom (5 sections, 15 audio channels), the GreenRoom (7 sections, 21 audio channels), and the TourBus (7 sections, 21 audio channels, an onboard SD recorder, and more). Each musician gets a TRS line-level stereo input, perfect for keyboards, guitar and bass processors, and electronic drum kits and groove boxes - even the headphone output of your iPod, iPad, or computer. Then they each get an XLR for their microphone (phantom power is available on the GreenRoom and the TourBus). It's easy for each musician to balance the levels of all the other musicians. All the vocal mics have individual send amounts to a global vocal effects processor. It's amazing how much better musicians play and sing when they're happy with their mix. The resulting music will be so good that you'll want to record it via the stereo recording output channel, which has its own mixer and TRS output (USB output available on the GreenRoom and the TourBus). The TourBus even adds an SD card recorder to archive every moment of the jam. There is also an optional remote mixing module, the SoleMix Remote, that effectively lets you have your slice of the pizza 12' away from the JamHub. The BedRoom has one connector for a single SoleMix. The GreenRoom and the TourBus each have four SoleMix connectors - and these models each come with one SoleMix Remote. Headphone maker Direct Sound has partnered with the JamHub to create bundles (5-pack or 7-pack) of their EX-25 and EX-29 Extreme Isolation headphones. These headphones turn the JamHub into a pro-quality rehearsal facility. Each headphone is color coordinated to match a specific channel. And finally, to those of you with lots of gear in your house, who are thinking, "I bet I already have enough stuff to do all this," just consider that the whole JamHub can rest in your open hand; it weighs less than 5 lbs.! And it's ready to go within a minute of everybody plugging in. More importantly, you don't have to tear up your studio trying to get this to work. I promise you this: just one jam session with friends you rarely get to see will make you glad you own a JamHub.
