About JoeCo BBP1B

Become a master of audio and video playback with the BlackBox BBP1B Player with Analogue I/O, Balanced. This innovative product, brought to you by the reputable brand JoeCo, is a powerful software upgrade for the BlackBox Recorder that offers automated, high-quality, multichannel audio playback up to 24bit/96kHz. It's designed for professional use in live shows, themed entertainment, and exhibitions, without the need for a computer.

The BlackBox Player stands out from standard BlackBox Recorder playback by allowing you to arrange content for an entire show, exhibition, or broadcast into an easily editable playlist. With preloaded cues for instant playback, this user-friendly device allows for on-the-fly adjustments to the playlist and provides the option for continuous looped playback.

This stylish and durable player accepts audio material created on any workstation that generates valid WAV or BWAV files, including mono, stereo, and polywav files. Audio is conveniently stored on an external USB 2.0 hard drive or USB 2.0 Flash drive, ensuring sample-accurate synchronous playback of each audio file through its respective output.

The BlackBox Player offers multiple control options, including footswitch, QWERTY keyboard, timecode, MIDI commands, or JoeCoRemote for iPad. Each channel can be separately balanced, EQ'd, and processed to compensate for venue acoustics or audience-generated noise during performances.

To synchronize audio with visual media, the Player can be configured to start in sync with incoming timecode and audio clock, supporting all standard timecode frame rates. The BlackBox Player system also includes full BlackBox Recorder functionality, with a simple menu selection that allows the system to function as either a Recorder or a Player as needed.

Designed for use with mixing consoles that have balanced insert points or balanced group outputs, the BlackBox Player is a high-quality, innovative solution for professional audio and video playback. With its built-in safety features, such as automated fail-over for a pair of Balanced Players, you can be sure that the show will go on, regardless of any technical hitches.

Upgrade your audio experience with the BlackBox BBP1B Player with Analogue I/O, Balanced, and enjoy the superior quality and functionality that JoeCo products are known for.
