Blackstar Artist FR: Perfect Power For Your Amp Modeler?
A new affordable solution for floorboard amp modeller users
The Blackstar Artist FR loudspeakers were developed with one clear goal: to deliver perfect performance for anyone working with modeling technology or floorboards. Let’s take a closer look at these new powered speakers.
Blackstar Artist FR
What if in-ear monitors and monitor speakers aren’t the right solution for you?
Then, guitar cabinet-style powered speakers are often the right choice. Especially when using modelers and IRs (Impulse Responses), we all know the problem of the sound varying depending on the monitor.
These new Blackstar Artist FR speakers aim to solve this problem. Its active 3-band EQ lets you quickly and intuitively shape your tone, so you can effortlessly make adjustments when switching guitars, patches, or even playing environments.
Finally, the presence control provides additional, precise fine-tuning of the sound.
Special Speaker
The Blackstar Artist FR’s speaker features a Whizzer diaphragm that delivers brilliant highs without any harshness. The rear-mounted bass reflex port delivers powerful, defined bass, while the speaker’s overall dynamics offer the responsiveness you’d expect from a classic amplifier.
Standard & Artist
The Artist FR Standard is a compact 50-watt 1×12 amplifier that is easy to transport and is ideal for home users, studio recordings, and smaller gigs.
In contrast, the Artist FR Special is designed for larger stages and rehearsals. As a 100-watt 1×12 speaker, it offers the same sound quality and playing feel as its smaller sibling, but in a more powerful configuration.
A built-in stand tilts the speakers into a monitor position, thus ensuring better sound projection during rehearsals and live performances. Handy for avoiding ‘beaming your ankles’ and a welcome addition.
Price & Availability
The Artist FR speakers are straightforward to set up, powerful enough for most situations, and easy to use. The price is also very affordable, making it appealing to many working musicians.
You can get the speakers starting from $299/£273/€309 here at Thomann.
