Jamhub, Distributed Roland Australia, Available at Engadine Music


Why consider a JamHub?
Being in a band is a blast. Making music with others, and for others, is as old as recorded history, and music really contributes to life. However, the complexity and disruption caused by conventional rehearsals can force musicians to stop being in a band, or worse, to never start a band.
Because being in a band and making music is so much fun, we musicians go to extraordinary lengths to play. We haul heavy gear, spend hours setting up, spend big bucks on soundproofing, fight with feedback, and deal with limitations like, “It’s 9PM, time to shut down.”
Why do we put ourselves through all the hassle? Because music making is
FUN!
A JamHub allows you to play more, and it makes rehearsals better. With a JamHub you are in control of the band. Because you control the volume of the band in your headphones and you control the volume to the world outside, you control how much music you can make in a week. With a JamHub, a band can play from 8PM to 12:30AM in a house full of sleeping people. How do we know? We’ve done it!
Is a JamHub right for you?
Rehearsing in small space with loud gear is difficult. If your rehearsal space isn't ideal, a JamHub might help you to play more and to get better faster.
Here are a few questions to ask yourself that might help you decide if a JamHub is right for you:
  • Do you have limited time and need to make the most of your rehearsals?
  • Do you have limited space for setting up and storing PA gear?
  • Do you want to start your own band but can’t justify the cost of a full PA, monitors and rehearsal space yet?
  • Have you ever had a rehearsal with a volume war?
  • Have you ever had a rehearsal with mic feedback?
  • Have you ever had a rehearsal where everything sounded muddy and you couldn’t hear very well?
  • Is your rehearsal space lacking an acoustically tuned PA, acoustic wall treatment, and a stereo monitor mix for each musician?
  • Are you spending money on renting space that you'd rather spend on new instruments?
  • Have you ever had a rehearsal or jam that was cut short because it was disrupting others?
  • Have you ever cut a jam session short to prevent it from bothering someone else because the sound was leaking out of the room?
  • Have you ever had to rehearse vocal parts without instruments because you can’t hear well enough to nail the harmonies?

Do you use acoustic drums? Then a JamHub will still help you to hear better and play longer, though not as quietly


What Others Are Saying

The 'silent practice' thing is a nice selling point parents and cohabitants of musicians will appreciate ... However, the JamHub's real value is in its ability to let you hear what you normally can't -- every single note that everyone is playing and singing. "
Joe Coffey, Premier Guitar June 2010
"JamHubs will facilitate you playing better. That just might be the difference between having bandmates and cellmates!" David C. Lovelace, KEYBOARD magazine
"I cannot say enough nice things about this product!" Tyler in Los Angeles, CA

"Buy a JamHub and you won't be disappointed. A great investment for practice or jamming with others!"
David in Austin, TX

JamHubs were created to give musicians the freedom to jam all they want, wherever they want. When you’re jamming, it’s virtually silent to the outside world. Neighbors can’t hear it. Parents can’t hear it. Cops can’t hear it. But for everyone in the band, the experience rocks.
Just pick a color section and plug in your instruments, mics and headphones. Each musician can control their own individual mixes. You’ll hear yourself like never before with amazing new clarity, no more volume wars, and your playing will improve faster. JamHub is also affordable, portable and easy to set up. So now every band can make more music more often
