Portable music gear has changed the sonic landscape forever - and that's a good thing! But, how does this affect your ability to be creative and connect with your friends, who want to use tablets, phones, multi-FX processors and the like? Until now, that's been challenging at best. Thanks to the incredible versatility of BLENDER, any device with a line or headphone output can be connected, providing each musician with a personalized headphone mix for a high-quality, multitrack recording session into your favorite DAW software. Plus, when you need to get some personal practice time in, BLENDER becomes the ideal "silent studio" - allowing you to play all night long without bothering the neighbors.

Collect 'Em All

Jamming is always more fun when everyone can join in, so BLENDER comes equipped with 6 independent stereo inputs that let you plug the whole band in to write, rehearse, or just plain goof around.

Stream It

With high resolution multichannel USB audio output, you can easily record a fantastic set of tracks directly to your DAW. And since you never know when that perfect song idea will pop up, why not just capture it all and sort out the real gems later.

It's All About You

Everyone's version of a great mix is unique, especially when it comes to what you want to hear when performing with others. BLENDER lets each musician take control of their own personalized headphone mix, so what you want is exactly what you get. We're talking to you, 10-minute guitar solo read more guy!

How About a Squeeze?

BLENDER's automatic compression "glues" all of the players together, which makes the mix fit together perfectly and ensures truly-impressive sonic performance every time.

Everyone's a Control Freak!

Stuck behind your instrument? BLENDER's mobile app (Free Download for Android* and iOS* devices) lets you adjust your individual monitor mix right from your tablet or phone, preventing any accidental faceplants you might make trying to get past everyone's gear.

Let's Give Them Something To Talk About

Now that you're all together wearing headphones or In-Ear-Monitors, how the heck do you talk with each other? BLENDER has a convenient built-in microphone specifically designed to keep the communication lines open - even inside your personal sensory deprivation tank.

"Blender"

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
The 1/8" input jacks are- who designed this? I can't give this any stars because I can't use it yet.
Sound
I would like to rate this but since it has 1/8" input jacks... Hmm.. now I guess I need to get some 1/4" to 1/8" cables to plug a bass and a guitar DI box in. HELLO! Instruments use 1/4" output jacks!!! It's frustrating when you wait for a cool piece of gear to show up and then you can't use it.
Features
1/8" jacks. Not really even useful for headphones.
Ease of Use
Don't know.
Quality
Seems to be good quality. But I'm guessing not too big a hit because of the lame 1/8" input and output jacks.
Value
I don't know. I'm trying to decide whether to keep it or return it.
Manufacturer Support
No.
The Wow Factor
It would be nice to have something that worked like the original Jam Hub was supposed to. But Evidently Roland bought them out and jacked up the price.
