Complete B16 Mothership Digilink AD/DA System

The Burl Audio B16-BMB1-8x8 system consists of a B16-BMB1 Mothership with a Digilink (HDX) Motherboard, its two slots stuffed with a B16-BAD8 8-channel AD Card and a B16-BDA8 8-channel DA Card.

The B16 Mothership DigiLink

The Burl Audio B16 Mothership is a 2-slot, 2U converter chassis. Incorporating technology developed for the company’s flagship B80, the B16 Mothership delivers the same legendary sonics in a smaller, more portable chassis. The B16 also accepts any combination of optional I/O cards, and a DigiLink motherboard card is included that provides ample power for the high-headroom, low-noise converters. Burl Audio converters are renowned for their tape-machine-like response, letting you control your signal’s tone through gain staging. Burl digital converters give you a world-class analog front end with amazingly deep and detailed conversion, and the B16 Mothership makes it possible!

Acclaimed Converters with an Analog Sound

Burl Audio’s BAD8 8-channel A/D converter module packs more sonic character than anything in its class. Designed for use with Burl Audio’s B16 Mothership 2-slot chassis, the BAD4 has a Class A signal path with discrete transistors for maximum conversion quality, but Burl didn’t stop there. The BAD4’s analog signal path is designed for flexible recording tone depending on how hot you run your signals, just like an analog tape machine! Combining transparent, vibrant conversion with the sought-after vibe of analog recording systems means you’ll want to track everything in your studio through the Burl Audio BAD4 A/D converter!

Load a BDA8 D/A converter module into Burl Audio’s B16 Mothership, and enjoy eight channels of ultra-high-quality analog audio output. Its accurate conversion circuitry flawlessly re-creates chest-thumping lows, breathtaking highs, and magnificently detailed stereo images. But the key to the BDA8 is Burl Audio’s extreme focus on the analog signal path, which rivals the topography of any high-end piece of analog gear. Whether you’re sending signal to your favorite outboard gear or to your studio monitors, the sound you get from the Burl Audio BDA8 is second to none.
