Blackstar Beam Mini – Big Sound in a Small Package
The Beam Mini is a compact yet extremely powerful desktop amplifier for those who want inspiring sound at home, in the rehearsal room, or on the go. It delivers a responsive, natural, and punchy tone for electric guitar, bass, and acoustic guitar. Here, Blackstar’s decades of amplifier design expertise meet modern AI-driven digital modeling in a lightweight, portable format that’s easy to take anywhere.
The Beam Mini is the first in its class to offer full Neural Amp Model (NAM) support directly in the unit. Through a collaboration with Tone3000, you gain access to over 200,000 community-created amplifier profiles—from iconic setups to niche favorites. These profiles load directly into the device, providing authentic, true-to-life tones crafted by musicians worldwide.
Beyond NAM, the Beam Mini includes a wide range of amplifiers and effects designed by Blackstar’s UK-based team, optimized for practice, recording, and creative exploration.
With AI-powered stem separation via Moises AI, you can play along with your favorite music in a whole new way. Remove or isolate instruments in any song, play over classic recordings, or focus on a single instrument to hear exactly how it’s played. A powerful tool for practice, inspiration, and learning (available Q3 2026).
Despite its compact size, the Beam Mini delivers surprisingly big and room-filling sound. Custom full-range speakers, dual passive bass radiators, and Super Wide Stereo create a broad and detailed soundstage that works just as well for guitar as it does for Bluetooth streaming.
The Beam Mini also functions as a USB-C audio interface, allowing you to record guitar and vocals simultaneously via the headset microphone input. Blackstar’s IR-based CabRig speaker simulation with In The Room technology provides a realistic cabinet feel for direct recording or headphone monitoring. Ableton Live Lite is included, so you can start recording right away.
The rugged IP66-rated construction makes the Beam Mini suitable for dusty rehearsal spaces and outdoor use.
