Boss Gigcaster 5 Audio Streaming Mixer

All-in-One Audio Hub for Streaming Musicians

Killer Guitar and Bass Sounds, No External Gear Needed

The Katana Cabinet 112 Bass provides outstanding performance in a space-saving footprint. All design elements have been carefully tuned for ultra-expressive sound reproduction, including different materials and thicknesses for the baffle and cabinet walls. You get an ideal balance of full, tight lows and nuanced articulation in the mid and high ranges, projected from a compact size that’s an easy fit on crowded stages and in tight home spaces.

Perform with Mics and Other Instruments

Gigcaster 5 also features inputs for additional gear and playing along with other musicians. Tap into broadcast-quality XLR mic sounds with two low-noise preamps, wide dynamic range, and phantom power support. And use the stereo line input for an instrument such as a keyboard or drum machine. Dedicated vocal effects from the popular VE series allow you to sing with effects like compression, pitch correction, delay, and reverb, and you can even dial up harmonies that automatically follow a set key. Effects are also available for speaking—including fun transformer effects that change the sound of your voice—along with console effects to enhance the sounds of connected sources.

Pro Multichannel Audio Mixing

Gigcaster 5 puts a deep array of mixing and audio routing features at your fingertips. Along with the three analog input channels, there are dedicated stereo channels for Bluetooth® and USB audio, and each mixer channel includes a variety of sound-shaping options for pro mixing on the fly. Gigcaster 5 can also communicate with multiple computer audio channels over USB, providing lots of flexibility for different streaming applications and working with remote guests, DAW music tracks, game audio, and more.

Compact Streaming Power

The compact Gigcaster 5 delivers a host of real-time creative tools while taking up minimal desktop space. You can play music from a mobile device via Bluetooth, and there’s a ducking function to automatically reduce the volume when you speak over it. When connected with the Gigcaster 5 App, it’s possible to trigger theme songs, sound effects, sample loops, and backing tracks with touches on the display as you stream. Eight pads and eight pad banks provide a total of 64 on-demand sounds, which you can easily configure and organize into libraries within the app.

Grab-and-Go Control

With the color touch display and intuitive panel controls, you can operate Gigcaster 5 using nothing but the hardware. Mix sources with the faders and mute buttons, view signal levels on screen, quickly access and edit effects, and apply noise suppression, de-essing, and other tools for a polished sound. You can go even further with the Gigcaster 5 App, tweaking various parameters on your computer’s screen as you work.

Customize Your Workflow

Gigcaster 5 offers many configurable features to suit any streaming style. Eight onscreen effect pads—configured in eight banks—give you 64 command sources for quick sound changes from the touch display. Up to four effects controls can be assigned to each pad, including preset selection, bypass, and more. It’s also possible to control pad assignments via external footswitches for hands-free access. MIDI over USB is supported as well, providing advanced control of music, video, and streaming applications that respond to MIDI commands.
