The Burl Audio B16-BMB4-4X4 Mothership Bundle with Monitor Control system consists of a B16-BMB4 Mothership with a SoundGrid Motherboard, and its two slots stuffed with a B16-B4 4-channel Mic Preamp AD Card and a B22 ORCA ALPS 4-channel DA Card with Monitor Control.
The B16 Mothership
Combining the Mothership’s modular configurability and the flexibility of SoundGrid, Burl Audio’s B16 Mothership converter chassis with SoundGrid is an innovative way of approaching digital conversion, letting you easily add the power of SoundGrid to your system for extremely low-latency audio processing, networking, and real-time monitoring. Pre-configured with Burl’s BMB3 SoundGrid module, the B16 offers up to 32 channels of I/O (up to 64 channels with optional second BK BKII daughterboard card).
The Burl Audio B16 Mothership is a 2-slot, 2U empty 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 SoundGrid motherboard card is included. Burl Audio converters are renowned for their tape-machine-like response to signal level, 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!
Give Your Ears a Competitive Advantage
Building on the amazing performance of their B26 ORCA for sonic superiority, Burl Audio’s B22 ORCA Control Room Monitor daughter card for the B16 Mothership utilizes the same all-discrete analog circuit path as other Burl products with an emphasis on providing exceptional sonic transparency and three-dimensional stereo imaging. Equipped with Burl NextGen BOPA14 op-amps, the B22 serves up tight bass and high definition throughout the audio spectrum. Monitoring through the B22 ORCA, you’ll hear instruments and mixes in stunning 3D realism, with a broad soundstaging and exceptional depth, all while preserving the original harmonic balance of the source.
