Blackstar Beam Mini Guitar Amp & Bluetooth Speaker

The Beam Mini is engineered as a versatile hub for modern musicians, specifically catering to Bass, Electric, Acoustic, and Music playback (B.E.A.M.). Developed by Blackstar’s design team, this compact unit aims to bridge the gap between high-fidelity consumer audio and professional instrument amplification, providing a unified solution for practice, recording, and listening in a desktop-friendly footprint.

Constructed with a sealed and ported housing, the chassis features a true stereo speaker configuration supported by side-firing passive radiators. This mechanical design ensures a full-range frequency response that rivals dedicated Bluetooth speakers while maintaining the structural integrity required for high-gain guitar tones. The interface is centered around the SpeedDial control wheel and a dynamic light beam, providing immediate visual feedback for parameter adjustments without requiring constant app interaction.

Ampton Series Modeling & Sonic Performance

• Component-Level Modeling: Features the Ampton Series engine, which utilizes component-by-component modeling of classic amplifiers to replicate the interactivity and feel of vintage hardware.

• Stereo Field Processing: Integrated XpressFX technology allows for rapid adjustment of spatial effects across a wide stereo field.

• Multi-Instrument Optimization: Dedicated voicing modes for electric, acoustic, and bass guitars, ensuring appropriate impedance and EQ curves for each instrument type.

• High-Fidelity Playback: Benchmarked against premium consumer speakers to provide best-in-class audio for wireless music streaming.

Digital Integration & App Ecosystem

• Photo-Realistic Interface: The companion mobile app offers a visual signal chain including modeled amp heads, cabinets, microphones, and pedalboard configurations.

• Cloud Community Access: Direct integration with an online platform for downloading official artist presets and sharing user-generated patches via Social Share.

• Educational Tools: Features seamless YouTube integration for synchronized jamming with backing tracks and lessons, alongside a built-in precision tuner.

• Smart Feedback: The dynamic light beam on the hardware syncs with the app to represent tone changes and settings in real-time.

Designed for the modern home studio and mobile environment, the Beam Mini combines decades of R&D with advanced digital connectivity. Its robust build and internal battery make it a reliable tool for both stationary desktop use and spontaneous practice sessions, delivering professional-grade tones in a highly portable format.
