The BURL Audio B16 Mothership is a 2U, 2-slot version of the revolutionary B80 Mothership, Burl Audio’s signature product. Simply put, the B80 Mothership has redefined digital recording, and now the legendary sound can be found in a smaller, more portable B16 Mothership. Utilizing technology developed for the B80, the new B16 Mothership uses the exact same I/O cards as the B80 Mothership, continuing Burl Audio's deep dedication to analog, Class A circuitry. The result is not only heard, but it is also felt. The Mothership stands out from every other interface on the market not because it is colored, but because it does not sterilize the source.
Using a card-based system, and a heavy-duty 2U chassis, the B16 Mothership employs 2 daughter card slots with an internal power supply and your choice of Motherboard for Digilink, MADI, Dante, or SoundGrid connectivity. Every ADC channel uses a proprietary BX1 transformer and every DAC channel has the latest Burl Audio discrete op-amp, BOPA4.
For anyone who has yearned for a Mothership in a smaller format, this is a dream come true. Check out our Buyer's Guide to learn more about the Burl B80 and B16 Motherships and their respective AD/DA option cards.
The BMB1 comes standard with two DigiLink connectors for direct hookup to Avid Pro Tools. BURL AUDIO does away with the expansion port, making both primary ports. That means you can play 64 ADC or DAC channels straight out of Pro Tools with one unit! With 6 BAD8s and 4 BDA8s a 48x32 IO can be achieved. With 2 BAD8s and 8 BDA8s a 16x64 IO can be achieved. With the configurability of the Mothership the IO possibilities are limitless.
The BAD8 is an 8-channel analog-to-digital daughter card for the B80 and B16 MOTHERSHIP - the result of over 25 years of R&D A/D design experience. Following on the overwhelming success of the B2 BOMBER ADC and the BAD4, the BAD8 employs a next-generation analog circuit path and the latest in analog to digital conversion. This is a no-compromise design utilizing all class-A, discrete transistor circuitry and the legendary BX1 transformer coupled input.
The BAD8 benefits from the new form factor of the BX1 transformer, allowing for more channel density. The BAD8 also boasts the latest analog-to-digital conversion technology giving it a great tone with even greater detail and amazing low latency.
The BDA8, 8-channel digital-to-analog daughter card for the B80 and B16 MOTHERSHIP is the result of over 25 years of R&D D/A design experience and thousands of hours of listening tests. Following on the success of the B2 BOMBER DAC, the BDA8 utilizes the same digital-to-analog conversion technology as the B2 BOMBER DAC coupled with the BURL AUDIO proprietary BOPA14 discrete, Class A op amp. The combination is a sound that is real, open, and huge.
BURL Audio is very proud to announce its new line of BURL NextGen Analog circuits for the BURL Audio product line. The BURL NextGen Analog circuits raise the bar of excellence in pro audio analog electronics fidelity. In addition to this upgrade, the BDA8 now includes Avid delay matching, upgraded heat dissipation and filter select options via various jumper settings.
