MOTHERSHIP 3, released in conjunction with the BURL BLACK series, unlocks the true channel count potential of the MOTHERSHIP. Now with MOTHERSHIP 3, up to 64 channels of I/O (@44.1 kHz and 48 kHz) are possible per daughter card slot!
MOTHERSHIP 3 channels per daughter card slot:
The MOTHERSHIP 3 enabling technology is a new intercommunication protocol which allows for communication between the Motherboards and the Daughter cards. This allows the BMB Motherboards to know exactly what daughter cards are occupying the daughter card slots which then allows the MOTHERSHIP 3 Motherboards to automatically configure the daughter card I/O mapping. This means no more jumper settings to configure daughter card I/O!
MOTHERSHIP 2 allowed for 8 channel input cards, e.g. the BAD8, and jumpers were used to set which card slots were used for which specific daughter cards. Now with MOTHERSHIP 3, any daughter card of any channel count can be put into any MOTHERSHIP slot and the MOTHERSHIP 3 BMB Motherboard will automatically configure all of the I/O.

The BURL Audio B16 MOTHERSHIP 3 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 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.
The BMB4 features an Ethernet port for 64 IO channels of Waves SoundGrid connectivity. SoundGrid is an Audio-over-Ethernet networking and processing technology developed by Waves.
