The BURL Audio BAD8 is a cutting-edge analog-to-digital converter daughter card for the for the B80 Mothership. Featuring eight channels of pristine audio conversion up to 192k Hz, 24 bit, the BAD8 provides unparalleled flexibility.
The BAD8 analog-to-digital converter daughter card is the result of over 25 years of research, development and experience. Based on the best-selling B2 Bomber analog-to-digital converter, the BAD8 features a class-A discrete transistor circuit path. With eight channels of Burl’s renowned audio quality in a compact daughter card format, the BAD8 is perfect for adding a little vintage vibe to any production.
The BAD8 is equipped with a high-definition BX1 input transformer, capable of delivering authentic analog character. Keep the meters in the green to capture the clean, crisp sound of digital audio. Or push them to the limit to drive the BX1 input transformers for grit, grime and distortion.
Burl Audio are known for the innovate B80 Mothership rack device, which can be customized with preamps, digital audio converters, word clocks and more. Each daughter card is equipped with transformers in the input stage and op-amps in the output stage, combining the flexibility and pristine sound of digital audio with the character and attitude of an all class-A discrete signal path. Perfect for home studios, commercial recording studios and post-production houses and broadcast facilities, the Mothership can be customized to suit any session. And with digital control options for SoundGrid, Dante and more, the B80 Mothership can even be used as a studio-grade stage box in live sound applications.
Hands down absolutely unreal. Sounds like tape but with more headroom and less noise. It sounds better than tape. Healthy signal level with adequate headroom = clear and focused, comparable to all the top dog manufacturers convertors (but, not really heh). Start driving the input harder and things start coming to life with more umf and character comparable to running your favorite class a discrete pres without pads just before the point of distortion. Either way you hit the input there’s unrivaled three dimensionality, extended depth to the low end, a forward and very pleasing midrange, and a smooth top end that’s not harsh unless you really f’up on your front end. Something I’ve sometimes struggled with is after a record is tracked I feel like I’m listening to individual instruments existing independently in their own space rather than as a whole. Things just come together and glue into place with the Burl. After upgrading from an apogee symphony to Burl conversion I literally cannot understand why any studio wouldn’t invest in these. It’s better than they say. If you can’t afford them then do what I did and go into debt. I would literally go to collections for these.
It’s always pleasure to deal with VK! Great communication, fast response, shipping, very well packed, simply highly recommended pro audio seller!!! Thanks!
Awesome and super good quality
