JoeCo BlackBox BBR1MP Audio Recorder
Based on JoeCo’s award-winning BlackBox Recorder technology, the new BlackBox BBR1MP Recorder is a stand-alone, live, multi-channel audio acquisition solution primarily designed with the broadcast engineer and location sound recordist in mind. The 24-channel recorder offers all the standard BlackBox features as well as 24 high-quality microphone preamps, operating at up to 24bit/96kHz, which are integrated into the recorder’s tiny 1U housing. The BBR1MP features a range of connection options including individually switchable mic/line inputs and balanced outputs, video sync, timecode and word clock inputs. User installable Dante and MADI interface cards are also available as options, adding 24 channels of Dante or MADI i/o to the BBR1MP unit. Microphones can either be connected to the unit via tails from the rear D-Sub connectors, or via an optional 2U breakout panel with XLR connectors. System components are available individually or as part of a bundle. Audio is recorded direct to external USB2 drive in Broadcast WAV format for instant ingest into post production. Alongside the BBR1MP’s multi-channel recording capabilities, provision is included for creating a simultaneous stereo mixdown. Full support for iXML data is also provided. The BBR1MP will run off a 12V power source. Unused channels and features can be disabled in order to preserve battery life on location. The unit is fully controllable via JoeCo Remote for iPad. This includes the facility to set up individual mic pre channel parameters - level, mic/line, phantom power, hi-pass filter, soft limiter and phase reverse. Levels are shown on high resolution meters and the monitor mix can be adjusted using expandable channel strips with graphic faders, pan, solo, mute and other parameter controls. The BBR1MP’s compact dimensions, high-quality mic preamps and converters make it a practical, elegant solution for a range of broadcast applications, as well as for live engineers needing a portable multi-channel recording option.

DANTE Card for BBR1MP Recorder
The DANTE Card for BBR1MP Recorder is a user installable card adding 24 channels of Dante I/O to the BLACKBOX BBR1MP. This option card provides a digital output to a console, or another recording device, for real-time monitoring or backup of the mic preamp signals, or replay of pre-recorded tracks. The card can also act as a 24-channel Dante input when the mic preamp functionality is not required.

MADI Card for BBR1MP Recorder
The MADI card for BBR1MP Recorder is a user installable card adding 24 channels of MADI I/O to the BLACKBOX BBR1MP. This option card provides a digital output to a console, or another recording device, for real-­time monitoring or backup of the mic preamp signals, or replay of pre-­recorded tracks. It can also act as a 24-channel MADI input when the mic preamp functionality is not required. It additionally provides the facility to combine the outputs of two BBR1MP units into a single MADI output stream containing all 48 channels of audio data.

Breakout Box for BBR1MP Recorder
The Breakout Box for BBR1MP Recorder is a 2U rack-mountable breakout panel with 24 XLR female input connectors, and a USB connection. The breakout package includes three 8-channel 25-way, D-sub terminated multicore connection looms for linking the Breakout Box to the BBR1MP BlackBox Mic Pre Recorder. The USB and timecode connectors are for remoting their respective connectors from the rear panel on the BBR1MP Recorder.

JoeCo Remote
The standard JoeCo Remote professional hardware interface offers remote control of a single BLACKBOX. The hardware can operate as an adhoc network with the iPad at 2.4GHz or, when the WiFi is more congested, as part of an infrastructure network in the 5GHz band. There’s also the option of connecting the iPad via the supplied cable to form a wired connection.
