Description

The Blackstar Beam Mini is a powerful portable desktop amplifier designed for electric guitar, bass and acoustic players who want exceptional tone without being tied to a traditional amp setup. Combining advanced digital modelling, Super Wide Stereo sound, Bluetooth audio and more than 18 hours of rechargeable battery life, it's an incredibly versatile solution for practice, recording, travel and everyday playing.

Blackstar's advanced component-level modelling is designed to recreate the dynamic feel and response of real amplifiers, with 17 amp voices covering electric guitar, bass and acoustic instruments. More than 35 built-in effects provide extensive creative possibilities, while Blackstar's ISF control makes it easy to shape the overall character of your sound.

The Beam Mini also supports Neural Amp Modeler (NAM) captures, allowing compatible models of real-world amplifiers and rigs to be loaded into the amp. Combined with the dedicated Beam app and online tone sharing, this opens up an enormous range of additional sounds beyond the factory selection.

Despite its compact dimensions, the Beam Mini is designed to produce a spacious, room-filling sound. Dual full-range drivers and passive bass radiators are housed inside a sealed, acoustically engineered cabinet, with Blackstar Super Wide Stereo technology creating an immersive listening and playing experience.

Neural Amp Modeler Compatibility

One of the standout features of the Blackstar Beam Mini is its compatibility with Neural Amp Modeler (NAM) captures. NAM technology allows highly detailed captures of real-world amplifiers and rigs to be loaded into the Beam Mini, dramatically expanding the sounds available beyond its built-in amp models.

Together with access to an online library of tones, this makes the Beam Mini a platform that can continue to evolve as you discover, download and create new sounds.

Big Sound from a Compact Amp

The Beam Mini uses a sealed, acoustically engineered cabinet with dual full-range drivers and passive bass radiators to produce a surprisingly rich and powerful sound for its compact size. Blackstar's Super Wide Stereo technology creates an immersive sound field for both guitar playing and Bluetooth music playback.

CabRig provides IR-based speaker simulation with In The Room technology, alongside more than nine cabinet and microphone combinations and room environment settings, allowing you to further tailor how your virtual guitar rig sounds and responds.

Portable Practice, Recording & Bluetooth Audio

With more than 18 hours of rechargeable battery life, the Beam Mini can be used away from a mains supply for extended practice sessions, travel or playing outdoors. Bluetooth connectivity allows it to double as a high-quality wireless speaker or makes it easy to play along with your favourite tracks and backing music.

USB-C provides multi-channel direct recording for home studios and content creation, while the 3.5mm headphone connection enables silent practice and also supports a headset microphone input.
