Burl Audio B2 Bomber ADC

A great ADC is the single most important component in your input signal path and key to getting the absolute best results out of your productions — and Burl Audio’s B2 Bomber ADC is most certainly one of the greats. More than just another converter with a great technical specification, the 2-channel B2 Bomber ADC gives you creative control over the dynamics, depth and tone of your digital recordings.

THE ADC IS KEY

Let’s face it, you may have spent a small fortune on high quality microphones, mic preamps and other front-end equipment but if your analog-to-digital converter is not equal to the task then you simply aren’t achieving the best results from your recording signal chain. Sure, there are plenty of quality DAW interfaces on the market, but many of them are sonically unremarkable, enabling you to input signals into your DAW with little regard for the quality of the analog audio path, the conversion or the tonal character.

AN ADC THAT BEHAVES LIKE TAPE

The B2 Bomber ADC is not your typical converter. There are none of the cheap 10-cent capacitors or 25-cent op-amps in the B2 Bomber that you’ll find inside other converters. Instead, Burl Audio has designed an analog audio path using the company’s revolutionary Burl Audio BX1 hybrid circuit and proprietary transformer that complements your input chain. The discrete class-A, zero feedback, zero capacitor signal path acts just like tape; the harder you hit the inputs, the more saturation you’ll get out of the transformer.

EASY TO USE FOR TOTAL CONTROL

The uncluttered front panel pairs a 6-position, post-transformer input attenuator with easy-to-read, high-resolution, 30-segment LED peak amplitude and RMS metering, allowing you to quickly dial-in the sound you want. Combine that with Burl Audio’s extremely low jitter clock source and the B2 Bomber ADC gives you total creative control over the dynamic and tonal balance of your productions with unparalleled conversion and headroom for days.
