The Blackstar BEAM: SOLO is a next-generation headphone amplifier that allows guitarists, bassists, and acoustic musicians to enjoy professional sound anywhere, without constraints. Compact yet powerful, it combines Blackstar’s premium sound quality, ergonomics designed for daily practice, and full integration with a feature-rich mobile app. More than just an accessory, it is a true portable music creation station.
Performance and Creative Possibilities
Thanks to its audio engine inspired by the famous Blackstar amplifiers, the BEAM: SOLO offers a wide range of sounds from crystal-clear clean tones to aggressive distortion. The dedicated mobile app unlocks a complete sound universe with amp simulations, cabinets, microphones, and over 35 built-in effects. Each musician can customize their playing, save presets, and share sounds with the online community.
Workflow and Ergonomics
Designed to be simple and intuitive, the BEAM: SOLO features a SpeedDial knob that allows quick adjustment of essential parameters (gain, EQ, volume, effects). The XpressFX system makes effect control smooth and responsive, ideal for musicians who want to tweak their sound on the fly. The dynamic light beam provides clear visual feedback, even without the app, facilitating playing in any situation.
Connectivity and Integration
Equipped with Bluetooth, a USB-C port, and a 3.5 mm TRRS headphone jack, the headphone amplifier easily connects to your instruments, smartphones, tablets, and computers. It can also serve as a high-quality audio interface for your recordings. Thanks to full compatibility with iOS and Android, firmware updates ensure continuous improvement of performance and features.
Who Is It For?
The BEAM: SOLO is aimed at beginner guitarists who want to progress with practical tools (tuner, metronome), as well as intermediate and advanced musicians looking for a portable solution to rehearse, compose, or record. It is also the only headphone amplifier that allows recording vocals in addition to guitar, a major advantage for singer-songwriters.
