Inputs

This BOSS 5-channel streaming mixer offers a platform with plenty of connections to work with. A pair of XLR inputs accommodate two microphones so you can Gigcast with a guest and use the dual headphone jacks with independent levelers to create a stream that puts everyone on the same sonic page. Connect your guitar or bass to the line inputs for smooth DI sounds, or groove with your keyboard - even at the same time. A USB-C jack and Bluetooth connectivity mean effortless leveling from smartphones and other devices to keep your streams balanced on all fronts. You can even work hands-free with your BOSS footswitch or expression pedal of choice!

Easy high-quality mixing and interfacing

Each channel of the Gigcaster 5 features mute control and dedicated sliders for leveling within the mix, all displayed on the digital color display so you can accurately compare the performance of each source. Both XLR inputs provide phantom power with high-quality preamps for a noise-poor signal, so vocals always sound their best. With 32-bit floating-point processing and a sampling rate of 48 kHz, you can expect exceptional clarity and sound reproduction from any sources you work with. The details of any mix can also be made mobile thanks to the Gigcaster 5 app for Mac/PC, which provides conveniences such as parameter editing and audio file conversion.

Want a solution for recording your latest projects while the camera is off, but don't want to use double the equipment? The Gigcaster 5 functions perfectly well as an audio interface alongside a mixer, so you can easily multitrack directly to your DAW. Talk about a space saver!

Huge effects section

The Gigcaster 5 offers unlimited creative possibilities with its incredible onboard effects library. Choose between 100 guitar/bass effects, and amp presets straight from the GT-1000 Multi-effects Processor, not to mention the 30 vocal and 30 talk effects channeled by BOSS VE vocal processors. That's enough to cover all your musical streaming bases and then some, with 200 available preset slots in each category for virtually endless user integration. You can add a live element to your effect adjustments with on-screen effect pads. Remote rehearsals and remote jam sessions are now much more exciting!
