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.

Blackstar Polar Go Features:

  • A 1-in/1-out portable audio interface for simple, professional recording straight to your phone or laptop
  • Built-in ProCapture stereo microphone technology handles a dynamic range of audio, eliminating the need for external mics
  • High-quality FET-based XLR combo input with available +48V phantom power to accommodate condenser microphones

  • USB-C powered and battery operated with up to 6 hrs. of use, for the ultimate on-the-go recording experience
  • 2nd USB-C port allows for frictionless transfer of audio to your phone or laptop, perfect for musicians, podcasters, and content creators looking to digitally record audio or livestream directly to their most-used apps
  • Compatible with a slew of operating systems and software, including macOS, Windows, iOS, Android, GarageBand, BandLab, Zoom, and other recording applications
  • Use the Polar Go app for video recording, configuring presets, and instantly enhancing your audio via the advanced DSP engine and Audio Magic Wand tool
  • Portable, lightweight build and intuitive functionality encourage simple setups for recording at home, in the studio, or on the go
What is Certified Open Box Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call "Certified Open Box" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

Certified Open Box (also known as a demo) means we’ve had it out of the box for our YouTube channel, displayed at events, tested in our studio, or maybe it was in a customer’s hands for a few days and isn’t ‘factory fresh’ as a result. Every Certified Open Box item we sell has Sweetwater’s 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty and has been tested and verified up to ‘new’ specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it’s in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Certified Open Box item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

Reviews

Game changer
I'm a musician and content creator, and the Polar Go has completely streamlined my workflow. The built-in mics sound surprisingly professional, the DSP effects make my recordings instantly polished, and I can record anywhere without dragging around bulky gear. It's truly become my pocket-sized studio
Great addition to any musicians tool chest
The polar go is very cool. Does exactly what you'd want it to do.

Great way to record ideas without going up to the daw and a big upgrade on quick and dirty videos.

Software needs a little work, but I am sure they will get it there.

I can't imagine any musician at any level that could use one of these
