Musicians, lighting designers, and production studios looking for a powerful, yet easy to use solution for connecting and mapping devices via MIDI, Ethernet, WiFi, and USB will be thrilled with the Bome BomeBox, a MIDI hub well suited for stage or studio. This full-featured device provides a multitude of connections including two 5-pin DIN MIDI connectors (In/Out), two Ethernet ports, and a USB (Type-A) port for connecting USB MIDI devices, USB hubs, and multiport USB-MIDI devices. The BomeBox features a built-in MIDI patchbay with unlimited virtual routings. Create long-distance MIDI connections via Ethernet, or build a MIDI network with centralized access to all MIDI devices connected to an Ethernet network. Use the integrated WiFi to create a wireless hotspot, hub, or client. The BomeBox can quickly and easily be configured via tablet, smartphone, or computer and works with Windows and macOS using Ethernet or WiFi (via the Bome Network Tool). Unlimited mappings, splits, scenes, conditional routing, and MIDI processing can be achieved with the integrated MIDI Translator Pro engine. The robust ABS enclosure can withstand the rigors of on-the-road wear and tear. The device is powered by 5V micro-USB or via PoE (Power over Ethernet with 48V. The PoE and MIDI connections can pass power using the PoE out port. A micro-USB cable is included.

- Standard power supply: 5V micro-USB
- Extrarobust power supply: Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) with 48V
- Pass on PoE and MIDI connections using PoE Out port
- Power-over-Ethernet power source, like this PoE injector, or a network switch with PoE ports. A PoE power source usually provides the most stable power for attaching multiple devices using a passive hub.
- Strong micro-USB power supply (like the Raspberry Pi one) or another standard cell phone charger with micro-USB plug (but be aware of quality differences). This type of power supply is not recommended if you want to attach multiple USB devices using a passive/nonpowered USB hub.
- Powered USB hub. Most powered hubs can be used to power the USB devices and the BomeBox. This is a good option for using multiple USB devices
- External battery / power bank
