An All-in-one Portable Recording Solution
Why choose between quality, functionality, and portability in your audio recording setup when the Polar Go from Blackstar provides musicians, podcasters, and content creators with all that and more? At the center of the Polar Go is Blackstar’s proprietary ProCapture microphone technology, a built-in recording configuration that captures high-end audio while ensuring a simple, hassle-free setup — no external microphone required. Whether you opt for recording with ProCapture or decide on the FET-driven XLR combo input for connecting a personal mic or directly plugging in an instrument, transferring audio to your macOS, Windows, iOS, or Android device is frictionless with the dedicated USB-C connection. You can also use Polar Go directly with your favorite DAW, music platform, or social/livestream app when creating and sharing your content. Looking to capture video, arrange presets, or magically enhance your audio with the press of a button? Sweetwater creatives recommend downloading the Polar Go app and taking advantage of the advanced DSP engine and Audio Magic Wand tool. Lastly, the Polar Go offers up to 6 hours of battery life, a second USB-C port for direct power, and a palm-sized design, equating to a versatile solution built for today’s creators.

Blackstar’s innovative ProCapture technology
The Polar Go comes equipped with built-in stereo mics enhanced with Blackstar’s ProCapture technology. A far cry from the dubious recording abilities of even the latest smartphone, this configuration presents you with the same portability and ease of use while supplying the power needed to capture a range of dynamic audio, from individual vocals, solo instruments, and full band sessions to ASMR content and raucous roundtable discussions. The Polar Go also features an XLR combo input with switchable +48-volt phantom power — perfect for creators looking to record a guitar or bass directly into the interface or for those who prefer to use a mic from their personal collection.
Portability meets creative optimization
The Polar Go may be a compact interface designed to capture audio whenever, wherever, but that does not mean you have to sacrifice connectivity and accessibility to your favorite creative tools. In fact, the Polar Go runs on macOS, Windows, iOS, and Android operating systems and is fully compatible with a host of the most popular DAWs and creative platforms, including GarageBand, BandLab, and more. Blackstar has also created the Polar Go app for managing audio presets, capturing video, and instantly enhancing audio. Whether you’re new to recording and content creation, hoping to optimize your production, or simply looking to add one more tool to your already established workflow, the Polar Go provides a plug-and-play solution with seamless integration.
Your personal audio engineer
As its name implies, the Polar Go is built for mobility, letting you capture high-quality audio anywhere — from recording instruments in your home studio to livestreaming downtown. The companion Polar Go app equips you with two powerful tools: an advanced DSP engine and the intuitive Audio Magic Wand. The DSP engine delivers reverb, compression, EQ, and noise control through dialed-in presets and user-friendly controls, while the Audio Magic Wand automatically adjusts multiple parameters to match your project’s needs. The result is professional, polished recordings — no audio engineering degree required.
